Does your eye shadow crease after a few hours of application?

This happens for several reasons ranging from not priming your eye lids in the right way to not starting on a clean surface. Don’t worry, just follow these Six Simple steps to stop eyeshadow from creasing:

Tips to prevent creasing eyeshadow

Step 1: Clean the Base

• Always remember to start off with a clean face and clean eye lids

• Get up in the morning, cleanse your face first and then tone it.

• Apply a moisturiser and a sunscreen not just only to your face but also on your eye lids.

• This will prepare the skin for the makeup.

Step 2: Laying the Base

• If your eye shadow creases then you definitely need to apply a primer on the eye lids for the makeup to stay in place

• Next apply concealer with a concealer brush. Brush helps to apply the concealer precisely at selected spots ensuring that it stays on longer.

• Next comes foundation. Apply foundation with a foundation brush or makeup sponge and blend in well to make it settle on to the skin.

Step 3: Know your Eye Shadow

• If your eye shadow creases, then avoid cream eye shadows. Powder eye shadows are the right ones for you.
• Cream eye shadows have the tendency to crease more, so it is advisable to tap powder over the cream.
• Instead, you go for a cream to powder formula.

Step 4: The Application Trick

• To stop eye shadow from creasing, use a brush applicator. It’s bristles can hold more shadow and settles it better on the skin texture.

• Avoid sponge applicators.

Tip: Dab on some translucent powder after shadow application. This will help soak up the little oil droplets that your skin generates.

Step 5: Know your Eye Liner:

• Avoid gel based liners and kajal on the top lid.

• Use a good quality felt tip liner on the top lid. They smudge very little.

• You may also use water proof liquid liners on the top lid.

• For lower rim you can use a good quality kajal or a liner pencil.

Tip: If you are using a liquid liner, it will no doubt smudge a little as the hours pass by. You may pat some translucent powder after the liquid liner application. This will help the liner stay in place for longer.

Step 6: Completion with mascara and curling

• Water proof Mascara stays on longer.

• Curling after Mascara application helps to stick the mascara even more firmly on the lashes.

Few more tips to stop eyeshadow from creasing

• Do not use shimmery powders on the areas like creases and outer eye corners as they are more prone to creasing.

• If concealer need to be kept cake-free, then eye creams are required. But when it comes to keep your eye shadow crease-free, you need to be away from the eye creams. They are not applicable for delicate skin on the eyelid as it causes the shadow to crease and pool.
