I haven’t tried the most expensive kinds of eye shadow but all the others I have use just don’t lat more than an hour or two and then they all gather somewhere in the crease of the eye. Why is this? What can I do to prevent it? And how do celebreties keep their smoky eye makeup on? Is there any secret I am not aware of? Even if I’m just sitting in my room reading the Beauty brains the eye shadows just don’t last.
A few reasons: 1. Gravity. 2. Blinking a lot. 3. Oily skin/eyelids. 4. Powders can’t stick onto the skin very well.
Solutions: 1. Suspend yourself in zero gravity. 2. Blink infrequently, if at all. 3. Prevent yourself from having oily skin and/or make sure your eyelids aren’t oily at all before applying shadow. 4. Use a primer.
