1. Apply an eye primer

You know how it is. You look good after you’ve just done your face but then two hours after, your eyeshadow is disappearing and your eyeliner has smudged. Investing in an eye primer can help keep your eye makeup from fading, creasing, and smearing while giving you better color payoff.

2. Start with a pencil eyeliner

If you’re going for a smoky look and want to make sure your eyes are sharply defined, start lining your eyes with a budge-proof pencil liner before applying your eyeshadow. Dabbing powder eyeshadow over the liner not only helps it stay put but can also enhance its color.

3. Opt for eyeshadows in powder formulations

Though there are numerous eyeshadows with a cream formulation that won’t crease or fade, a powder formulation go on as smooth as their cream counterparts while absorbing any excess oil on lids.

4. Top off your eye makeup with a liquid or gel liner

Doubling up on your eyeliner is a great way to party-proof your makeup. Since the first eyeliner has already been covered up by your powder shadow, the top layer of liquid or gel liner–choose one in a long-wearing formulation–accentuates your look and dramatically defines your eyes.

5. Choose a waterproof curling mascara

Some mascaras can weigh your lashes down, making it more prone to smudging. Instead, opt for a waterproof, sweat-proof, and tear-proof curling mascara that lifts the lashes away from your skin. Avoid applying too many coats as well since this can lead to clumping and flaking.

6. Invest in eyebrow kits

You may not think your eyebrows need as much attention as your lids and lashes, but your brows frame your face and can change the way you look. Go for an eyebrow definer that colors, sets, and tames stray hairs.
