Keep your makeup looking its best all day!



Yes, that eye-makeup is a little to dramatic for something i'd wear but just an example! How many of you get frustrated with your eyeshadows and liners everyday? Having trouble keeping the shadow on your lid and not all over your face, or trouble with it falling throughout the day? Here are some tips on how to keep your makeup on and looking fresh all day!




First, start off with an eye primer! Above is Urban Decays Primer Potion($17) Priming your eyes with something like this primer potion, or Too Faced shadow insurance or any kind of eye primer is kind of a creamy formula and you apply it to your eyelid where you will be using eye-makeup and it will prevent creasing, and when you put your shadows on they will stick to the primer to greatly reduce fall outs and keep the shadow on your eye all day long!

If you don't feel like going on and buying this, make your own! just use a liquid foundation, and a little bit of creamy lotion[stay away from the liquidy kind!] mix it together and that will work about the same.

Another thing, would be cream eyeshadow. It is a creamy formula, but seconds after you apply it to your eye it dries to your eye. Or, if you have eyeshadow pigments[loose] just take a shadow brush, dip it in a little water to dampen it, dip the brush in some pigment and put it on your eye and let it dry. Even though i'd still recommend using primer doing this, you won't need to as much as you would with powder shadows.



For eyeliner, the only reason it wouldn't stick to your eye is that it isn't a good liner! Cream or gel liners are the best because they go on very smooth, and dry to a beautiful finish. But in the picture above is my favorite eyeliner I have every used! It goes on very smooth, almost just like a cream liner but in pencil form! I have the colors black out, and morning coffee. I have also noticed it doesn't smear one bit! I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a good eyeliner pencil. I bought this for only $2 at a drugstore! If you know other good ones leave a comment naming them!
