How do you prevent oils from your inner eyes even though you put eye primer on.
is there a better primer for oily lids? or is there a special face wash to prevent it before useing makeup eye shadows?

I am not sure whether eye primer would help cos it would probably make it more oily. Have you tried putting a sheer eyeshadow on before putting on the rest of your makeup and see how that goes? I have a really oily nose and I find that using powder products on it helps with the oil control because the powder absorbs the oil.
Let me know how it goes

I don't wanna like put in too much work just to get a simply color on my eye. lol. my oily lids are powerful for powder it won't even absorb it. lol.

I have extremely oily lids, also. If I don't want my shadow to move, I use Shadow Insurance and Inglot Eyeshadow Base, before I put it on. I don't get any creasing or anything, when I do that.

I have oily lids too, unfortunately. Was at a workshop a while back, and the MUA mentioned from applying foundation and concealer on the lids, and apply a primer instead. I have been doing that ever since, and so far not much creasing unlike before.

Sometimes after applying foundation(avoiding the eyes), I would set the whole face, including my lids with MAC Blot Powder as a safety precaution, especially on days when I have to be out for hours.

Hope that helps.
