Crease-Proof Your Eyeshadow With These Easy Tips
Eyeshadow can become your most reliable ally to create a captivating look, whether you prefer a subtle or striking finish, and whether it's for daytime or evening wear.
However, it can all go crusty when it succumbs to the tiny creases on your eyelids.This is a common problem that is frustrating. The key to preventing eyeshadow from budging is to use the right products in the correct proportions and apply them correctly.
Here’s are few hacks you can try:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prime Up Your Lids
Primers serve to create a smooth base, ensuring that eyeshadow stays on your lids for long hours. Essentially, it acts as a grip that locks eyeshadow in place for all-day wear. To get the best results, it's crucial to apply it correctly. You can apply eyeshadow primer either with a clean finger or an eyeshadow makeup brush. Apply a thin layer evenly across your eyelids and blend it in.
Pro-tip: You can use a concealer to prime your lids as well.

Layer It Right
You don't have to limit yourself to just one type of eyeshadow formula; in fact, mixing them can enhance the longevity of your makeup. Layering different formulas is a great approach. For instance, combining eyeshadow crayons with liquid eyeshadows to prevent creasing.
Eyeshadow crayons have a creamy texture that applies smoothly and sets flawlessly on the eyelid, similar to liquid eyeshadows. Start with matte finishes first. This not only adds dimension to your eye makeup but also helps set metallic finishes especially if you have oily skin.
Do You Have The Right Tools?
The right choice of makeup brushes is essential to ensure a top-notch makeup application. A slightly firm and flat eyeshadow brush is ideal for applying the base eyeshadow across the entire lid and building up the product. When it comes to blending the eyeshadow on crease and working on the lower eyelashes, use a flat brush. Wetting the brush with water or applying setting spray before dipping it into your eyeshadow palette, results in better blending. You can also use your fingers to apply eyeshadow, especially jelly or liquid eyeshadows, but do ensure that your fingers are clean.
Steps In Your Routine
Similar to your skincare routine, it's important to follow a specific order when applying makeup. You need to make sure your eyelids are not wet before you apply your eyeshadow. Let the primer or concealer dry completely before you go in with your palette.
