Make Your Shadow Last All Day Long

The eyes are the window to the soul! That is why women love to make their eyes a focus with eye makeup. Most women spend time in the morning on their eye makeup to only have it wear off or look sloppy within hours.

Women will blame the product thinking that it is not great quality.

Here are some steps that you can take to help that shadow last all day long!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A waterproof eye shadow base
  • Matte and Frost textued eye shadows
  • A silicone based lightweight eye cream
  1. Step 1

    Begin by preping your eyelid with a light-weight silicone based eye cream. Place the eye cream around the orbital bone of the eye only. The silicone will absorb excess oil throughout the day.

  2. Step 2

    Apply the eye shadow base with your finger very evenly throughout the eyelid and crease. If your eyelids are very oily then use a brush versus a finger. Our finger tips naturally contain oil so it can affect the eye shadow.

  3. Step 3

    Now you are ready to apply your eye shadow. Use clean brushes and make sure to use a matte texture eye shadow in the crease. A matte texture also helps to absorb excess oil where you are the most likely to have your eye shadow crease.

Tips & Warnings
  • Take these steps to help your eye shadow last all day! Using clean brushes will help the eye shadow go on more even and last longer.
  • Your eye shadow base is only as good as your eye shadow! Meaning that if your base is clumpy and not even then your will shadow will be as well.
