I've come up with a routine to prep my eyelids for the glamorous eyeshadow and eyeliner application. If you watch my videos, then you already know what I'm going to tell you.
I have been a fan of Urban Decay Primer Potion (original formula) since I started college several years ago. It really does help my makeup stay put. However, I recently discovered MAC's Paint Pot in Painterly, and I can honestly say that I love the thing. It evens out my eyelids' skin tone, makes them look less veiny and more like nice skin. My eye makeup also applies more smoothly.
My routine is this:
First I apply UDPP on my entire lid up to my brows, and then I take it around the corners and under my eyes as well. I emphasize this on the outer corner of my eyes, because mine tend to get watery due to allergies. Adding a little extra in that area helps so much.
Next, I apply Painterly on top, all over my lid up to my brows. I don't take this down to the bottom lid, because it tends to cake up down there.
To some, it may be a hassle to add these extra steps, but for me, it is such a lifesaver - or makeup saver. While my face is sweating itself out, my eye makeup stays put all day long, and I know I don't have to worry about it no matter how hot it is outside.
