Eyeshadow creasing can be frustrating, but there are several steps you can take to help prevent it:
Avoid heavy creams or oils – Avoid applying heavy creams or oils to your eyelids before eyeshadow application, as they can contribute to creasing. If you need to moisturise your eyelids, use a lightweight eye cream and make sure to let it fully absorb before applying any makeup.
Apply an eyeshadow primer – Gently pat a small amount of primer over your lids using your index finger.
Set your eyelids – After applying the eyeshadow primer, set it with our Illusionist Translucent Powder. This helps to absorb any excess oil on your eyelids and provides a smooth base for the eyeshadow application.
Apply thin layers of eyeshadow – Apply eyeshadow in thin layers, gradually building up the colour and intensity. If you apply too much eyeshadow at once, it can lead to creasing. Use a light hand and blend the eyeshadow well for a seamless look.
Set your eyeshadow – After applying the eyeshadow, lightly dust our Illusionist Translucent Powder over your eyelids to set the eyeshadow. This helps to further prevent creasing and increase the longevity of your eye makeup.
Set with a spray – After completing your eye makeup, use a setting spray to lock everything in place.
Touch up throughout the day – If you notice any creasing or fading during the day, gently blend out the creased area with a clean Eye Blend Brush or fingertip. You can also apply a small amount of eyeshadow to touch up the colour.
