How to stop eyeshadow from smudging on to the eyelid above the creas?

I want to wear eyeshadow, but it doesn't last long. i apply it underneath the eyelid crease, but then it smudges onto the part above the crease x.x





any suggestions with what I can do to stop this?How to stop eyeshadow from smudging on to the eyelid above the creas?
primer.





a primer doesnt have to be urban decay primer potion or too faced eye insurance or something like that. it can be ANY creamy eyeshadow or product. you can even use your liquid/cream concealer as a primer too. i'd recommend you either use your concealer, buy a nude color (for more versatility) or buy one of the products they market as an e/s primer (like the two i first mentioned...out of those i'd recommend the too faced brand. theyre both good but the urban decay bottle is currently flawed and wastes alot of product. altho it IS cute lol)





my favorite thing to use as a primer is MAC's paints %26amp; paint pots. for paints, the nude-st most popular color is bare study. as for paint pots i've got brown skin so i use Groundwork and it suits my skin perfectly. You can also try bare study in the paint pot which is a fairly neutral color. If you can afford it, you can branch out afterwards and buy other colors. I love using my black paintpot for a dark smokey look. a paint/paint pot as a colored base can really change the look of an e/s...so obv that helps with creating diff looks.





always remember to apply your nude primer all the way upto your brows cuz if youre using a highlighter (which i hope you are) that will help that stay on longer.How to stop eyeshadow from smudging on to the eyelid above the creas?
The brand you use also makes a difference. Some are more oily then others, and those will smudge.


Use regular powder on your lids before you apply the shadow, then use a good shadow-no dollar store stuff. : )
The best thing to use and I can guarantee it is an primer. You can get it from basically any big name foundation line like Smashbox, for example.
