I need help people!! I have quite deep set eyes so when I apply my eyeshadows they tend to either wipe off or crease up and look a mess. What can I do to prevent this??

Apply a primer or base cream shadow, apply your shadow over it, and wait a little while before you open your eyes.

Charley do you have deep set eyes or hooded eyes? In your pictures it looks more like hooded eyes!
I have pretty deep set eyes myself and I don't find creasing to be a problem! An eyeshadow primer is definitely your friend it can really helpmake your eyeshadow last but also just make it look so much smoother and nicer!
If you have hooded eyes I would suggest you look at YouTube on eyeshadow placement for hooded eyes - there's a whole science behind those sultry hooded eyes - Wayne Goss have some good ones!

Oh yeah Sabrina got it! Wayne Goss has by far the best assortment of videos on hooded eyes- which are my favorite eye shape... they're like sexy bedroom eyes!

I advise to use Mac soft ochre or painterly paint pot. This is very different to the "lotion" like of other eye primers. I noticed when I started using the Mac paint pot my shadows look way way better with no creasing
