What is the best way to prevent smearing, fading and blotchiness when applying & wearing cream eyeshadows and liners?

I have large eyes, but after I apply my eye makeup, my eyes always look 'tired' or smaller (not the look I was going for).

Note: I am allergic and sensitive to many ingredients (like talc, aluminum, fragrance, etc) and do not use products containing animal products or parabens. So I have a limited range of brands & products to choose from.

*Since my skin and eyes are sensitive, the less products I use, the better.*

( I only use a moisturizing sunscreen, some eyemakeup and subtle lip tint... I like to keep the focus on my eyes )

my eye makeup always ends up looking somewhat messy and unflattering... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

any tips/advice is appreciated. thank you

Have you tried using any shadow primers?
