If you wear eye shadow, you have probably found that after several hours it can streak and smudge. This is a common problem that has a simple solution. You can make your eye shadow stay put with eye shadow primer. This versatile product can benefit your beauty routine in other ways.
How to Use Eye Shadow Primer on Your Eyes
When using eye shadow primer, it is important not to use too much. If you do, it will not dry properly. That can cause your eye makeup to slide and smear. When using eye shadow primer on your eyes, use your ring finger to apply a thin layer from your lash line to the brow bone. Eye shadow primer can be used with any type of eye shadow, including pressed and cream formulas. You can also use it before using an eye shadow pencil.
How to Use Eye Shadow Primer on Other Parts of Your Face
Eye shadow primer can be used on several parts of your face. It can be used under the eyes to make concealer last longer and to prevent it from creasing and becoming cakey. Eye shadow primer helps concealer grab skin better and stay in place longer.
If you have a pimple, sometimes concealer and foundation don’t want to stay put. You can keep them in place by putting a bit of eye shadow primer on the pimple before you put on concealer and foundation. Then set it with powder.
As you get older, you may begin to notice fine lines. Foundation can settle into creases because of oil and facial movements. You can prevent this by putting a bit of eye shadow primer over the lines before you apply foundation.
You may find that at the end of the day your eyebrow powder looks patchy or has smudged off. Eye shadow primer can solve those problems. Rub a small amount through your eyebrows, let it dry, and then use your regular brow product. You can use eye shadow primer on your eyebrows before you use a brow pencil or gel.
Eye shadow primer can even be used on your lips. Make sure your lips are moisturized first. Put on a small amount of eye shadow primer before your lip liner and lipstick. This will prolong the color and prevent it from bleeding or smudging.
