It’s a struggle to get your eye makeup stay in place if you have oily lids. We’ve all dealt with putting on our makeup in the morning only to see a smudged liner or accumulated product on the gold of your eyes. There may not be a cure to completely stop your skin from producing out but sure there are measures to restrict it. Continue reading to learn how to prevent turning into a raccoon.
Begin with a Clean Slate
To start off your makeup, make sure that your skin is free of any residual makeup or oil. Make sure that there is
no leftover oil as that can increase the possibility of greasy lids. Use a
makeup remover followed by a facial cleanser, best suited for your skin type, to
clean your face.
Choose the Right Skincare Products
After cleansing
your face, it’s time for some serums and moisturiser. But make sure that the
products you use do not clog pores. If the makeup
isn’t staying in place, it’s probably because the moisturiser isn’t being fully
absorbed. Go for the formulas that won’t leave your skin
greasy, especially if you wear makeup on the daily. And avoid applying the
moisturiser too close to the lash line.
Use a Blotting Paper
If your eyelids
start producing oil, by the time you start your eye makeup, use a blotting
paper to soak up the excess oil. You can also use it midday, as it only absorbs
the oil without removing any makeup.
Use a Mattifying Primer
Primers can do
wonders when it comes to holding your makeup
together. Use an oil-free eye primer; but if you do not have an eye primer, a
mattifying primer will do the job. But make sure to apply just a little amount
of it and to check whether or not it’s safe on the eyes.
Set It with Powder
Once you’ve applied a thin layer of foundation or a concealer to your eyelids, set it with a loose or baked powder. This will prevent any creases and mattifies the skin. You can also set your gel/cream liners with the same coloured eyeshadow for a longer lasting effect.
Stick to Transfer-Free Products
A product that is
not a long lasting formula will end up breaking down and melting into your
crease. Using water-resistant products will guarantee that your makeup
doesn’t go anywhere.
