Without the right preparations, your eyeshadow cannot last the test of time. You need to prime and prepare your eyelids to say goodbye to creased eyeshadow.
There's little more annoying than when your eyeshadow melts into one greasy-looking crease across the centre of your lid. Or when your perfectly applied liquid liner transfers neatly into an arch in your socket line. It might be a perfectly curved arch but it's not supposed to be there and has probably just ruined your eye shadow blending. Creased eyeshadow has been ruining good makeup everywhere for too long.
The only way to make sure you don't ruin all your hard work is to make sure you prime your eyelids for eyeshadow perfection. Primer will mattify your eyelids to stop them becoming oily and melting your eyeshadow. It also acts like a velcro for your shadow and gives it a perfect surface to adhere to.

Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer €25
This particular primer is specifically designed to make shadow stay in place for longer. It is sweat and humidity resistant and it will intensify the colour of your eyeshadow. You only need a piece the size of a grain of rice to cover both eyelids. Less is more, too much and it can cause pilling. Apply a thin layer using a concealer brush or just your ring finger. Wait about 30 seconds so the product dries a little and then blend away to your heart's content.
If you don't already use an eye base we can honestly promise you this will change your makeup life.
