Smudging, Creasing and Melting ? How to keep your eye makeup on.

An eyelid is a thin fold of skin that covers and protects the eye.

The skin is similar to areas elsewhere, but has more pigment cells and It also contains sweat glands and hairs.

Oily eyelids and skin is caused by over-active sebaceous glands, that produce a substance called sebum, a naturally healthy skin lubricant.

The oily-skin type is not necessarily bad, since such skin is less prone to wrinkling, or other signs of aging, because the oil helps to keep needed moisture locked into the epidermis,  (outermost layer of skin).

How to keep makeup on around the eyes its a very difficult task for some women.
Eye shadows won't stay on, eye liners and mascaras will smudge, and in less than an hour it's all mess.

Here I will go step by step to help you prevent this common problem from happening again.

First step, find an eye primer. Most women don't wear it or don't want to take an extra step in the morning, but eye primers are the most important step to keep eye makeup on.
There is a few types of eye primers in the market, find a sheer or a color eye primer for darker skin tones.

Second step, apply thin layers, blend and build. Using brushes is the easiest and fastest.
Use a concealer brush, and apply a thin layer of eye primer all over the eyelid and all around the eye area.

Third step, apply an all over base eye shadow, line the eye with a pencil or liquid eye liner, apply a very thin layer of concealer and last style your lashes with your favorite mascara.

Fourth step , there's nothing wrong with using waterproof products, like waterproof liners or mascaras, as long as, at the end of the day we cleanse, remove and hydrate our skin and eye area.


Find a gentle makeup remover and daily facial wash that suits your skin type to cleanse the face.
Remove, cleanse, tone and moisturize every day.
