I wear eyeshadow almost every day, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that you should never underestimate the power of a good eye primer. The absolute top of my list here has to be the MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot.
There are several reasons for this, but first, let me tell you a little bit about my eyelids. A strange sentence, I know, but I promise it’s relevant to this article (and I’m sure plenty of people reading this will have the same specific eyelid-related issues as I do). My eyelids are naturally very oily. Without primer, any eyeshadow I apply will be guaranteed to crease and then eventually disappear. They’re so oily in fact, that even with primer, but no setting powder, the primer itself will disintegrate, and cream eyeshadows? I can forget about them. See, I told you: oily.
