Hey lovelies 😘

My makeup routine takes forever because I try to be a perfectionist. I take a lot of pride into my eyeshadow especially, but I hate that halfway through the day my eyeshadow looks like a creased mess. My eyelids are greasy...ew. I've tried UD, Nars, and Tarte eyelid primers with no luck. Are there any tips you can give me? Holy grail products? I hope I'm not alone!

I have oily eyelids and the ELF eyelid primer works perfectly for me! It makes my eyeshadow stay on all day and it's really inexpensive.

Eyelids get oily because of the sebaceous glands near the eyebrows which produce oil that goes on your eyelid. The eyelids don't really produce any oil. Try a mattifying face primer right under neath the brow bone and put a primer like Too face shadow insurance all over the lid. Follow this with a thin layer or translucent powder then apply your eyeshadow.
Hope I helped you :)

I'm the same way - I take a lot of pride in my eye makeup, especially my eye shadow. Try Kat Von D's High Voltage eye primer. It has a thick consistency and creates a sticky surface to make your shadow stick. I like to throw some pressed powder over the primer too to help with oiliness (I have really oily lids too, I feel your pain) and it makes the shadow blend easier. A little tiny dab from the tube goes a long way :)
