Question

Whenever I apply creamy eye shadow on my eyelid, it gets smudged after half an hour or an hour. I have tried base and everything, even a very expensive eye shadow serum which claimed to keep shimmery shadow but it just didn’t work for me. Please help me to solve this problem. I want to make it last for at least for 3 or 4 hours.

Answer

Applying cream or shimmer to the eyelid can be tricky as you are continually blinking. The best suggestion I can make is to focus on applying your cream or shimmer eye shadow to the centre of the eye lid over a powder eye shadow in the same colour and apply a lighter shimmer just under the brow bone. This way you have an up-to-date eye look without the creases.
