How to Keep Eye Shadow from Creasing

It's only been an 1 hour and you check your makeup and noticed a crease right smack in the middle of your eye lid! If you didn't use an eye base  then that is probably the number one reason why!

3 Reasons why an eye base helps:
  •  Smoothes and neutralizes the eyelids
  •  Keeps eye shadow from creasing
  •  Eye shadow color stays true 
  •  Eliminates the appearance of shiny eyelids

Why should I use a base before applying eye shadow? The natural oils in your skin can make shadows crease or run when they are in contact with an eye shadow. Applying a base before the shadow puts a buffer layer in between the oils and the shadow making the shadow look better and stay on longer.  

Does the Color of the Eye Base Matter? No. Because the purpose of the base is to hold onto eye shadow color, the color of the base itself is less important.

If you have sensitive skin just make sure it's made with gentle ingredients.
 
When applying your eye base you can either use your finger or a blender brush. 

What's your favorite eye base?
