One of my qualms with my makeup was that my eye shadow never seemed to stay put. Having deep-set, hooded eyes, I found that my eye shadow would look great on initial application, but it would soon settle in to the creases of my eyelids as the day went on, before totally disappearing by the end of the day. “For long-lasting eye makeup, you need to layer a powder-based eye shadow on top of a cream formula in the same shade. This helps to seal in your eye shadow shade and helps it to last for longer,” says Nguyen-Grealis.
My error was just using either a powder or a cream eye shadow stick straight onto my lids, which don’t have enough staying power on their own. If you have hooded eyes, another trick of Nguyen-Grealis’s is to take your eye shadow further up past your eyelid crease and towards your brow bone. Because most hooded eyes don’t have a visible lid crease, any eye shadow that is applied to the lid disappears when you look straight ahead. Bringing it higher up to the brow bone helps your eyes look larger.
