How to avoid dark shadow under the eye after wearing makeup for awhile??

ok so here's the problem. i have oily skin, perspire easily and live in high humidity tropical country.





the problem is after 1-2 hrs the eyeshadow will ';trevel'; and form a black bag under the eye, esp if i use mascara and eyeshadow under the eye and if i use heavy eyeshadow ( even if i apply it on the eyelid only)








so i use powder before applying the eyeshadow and use all waterproof mascara.


sumhow the dried mascara flake and fall under my eye and form shadowy area there.





this is frustating, any advice:( ?How to avoid dark shadow under the eye after wearing makeup for awhile??
What you need is a primer for your shadow. I have the same type of skin, so I used to have the same problems. A good one is MAC paints. if you put that before your shadow, it's not going anywhere! They come in many colors (to get different looks with your eyeshadows) but the one i mainly use is Bare Canvas. it goes with everything! I also heard about Urban Decay Primer Potion. It's supposed to be really good too. It sounds to me that maybe your mascara is an old one maybe? cuz i have the same problem when its old and/or dried out. try a new one. but yea, the paints are worth the price. I go out partying alot, and wear lots of shadow. im bad and sleep with my makeup on sometimes. anyhow, my shadow still stays and looks good the next day when i use the paints.How to avoid dark shadow under the eye after wearing makeup for awhile??
The first thing is to moisturize your face well. Try clinique...they work for me. Then, get a skin tone colored eye shadow (or a base) and lightly dust that under and on your eyes. This is more helpful than powder. Then apply your make up as usual. i would recommend a different mascara. my mascara has never flaked. i use Maybelline (both waterproof and normal...depends on where i am going). The base and moisturizer should do the trick! Wish you the best!
My best advise is go with a great waterproof mascara. Clinique has awesome selections and I don't have the clumping or drying that I have had with other mascaras. Secondly I suggest using bare minerals as your foundation. The makeup lasts all day even with oily skin and perspiration. You should be using a higher quality shadow also. The cheaper ones have a tendency to flake on to the face. Its all worth it even if you do have to spend a few extra bucks.
Hey! finally a question that I can answer with confidence!





Okay, so here's how you do it.





Durring the day, you should try going for a lighter, natural look, believe it or not, guys usually find it UNATTRACTIVE to cake on make up. guys like to see a side of girls that are beautiful, and natural, so show off your beauty!


For your face make up--- if you have clear or near clear skin, dont wear any face make up!!!! if your that lucky, then appriciate your skin, however, if your like me, and 99% of the rest of the world, your skin is NOT perfect, so use a concealer, or liquid foundation on your really bad spots, then cover your WHOLE FACE in a light powder foundation! it makes your skin look flawless like those perfect girls your see in the magazines[im so jelous! haha]. besure to even cover your eyelids, and under your chin with the powder!


Blush/Bronzer-- Okay, so cheek bones are like the sexiest part of makeup! i personally love to use a bronzer as my blush. if you have a nice blush brush, please, USE IT! okay, so here is how you apply your blush, put a light layer on the plump apple of your cheeks[example: smile, and where ever your cheeks rise up, apply a small, LIGHT amount there] make circluar motions with your brush to blend a little. then, you want to accent your cheek bones, so run the brush along the indent of your cheek bones [example: make a kissy face, and follow the crease all the way to your hair line!!!!!!!!!]





your lookin beautiful all ready!!





For eyeshadows, i say accent your eye color! There are 3 different colors that you should be useing, and light beige, your eye color[example: green, brown, blue, grey] and a lighter version of that eye color [light green, light blu, etc.]





eyeshadows--- first, cover your entire eyelid with the light beige. Now, use your light eyecolor, to cover the lower 2/3rds of your eyelid. that means from where your the top of your nose ends, down. lastly, you take your dark eyecolor, and create a crease where your eyelid folds. [ex: squint your eyes to that they are neatly closed, put your eyeshadow brush on the outside corner of your eyelid, and follow the crease inwards, the color should fade as you get closer to the inside corner of your eyelid! be sure to blend if needed!





Eyeliner: apply only if needed. and make sure that the outside corners of your eyes always have more eyeliner that anywere else, smear the eyeshadow to create a smokey look, GUYS LOVE THAT!





Mascara: use as black as black gets, and apply as normal. dont allow clumps, they look shitty. hahha





lips--- if you can handle brown tinted lipstick, then go for it! but otherwise, a dull gloss of shimmer is elegant! dont use that slobbery looking ****. i used to when i was younger, and it looks stupid. you need to find a gloss that looks somewhat natural, if you can use your lips as a mirror, then you know that there is too much gloss to it!!








And there you go! you look like a freakin model! happy makeovers!








oh and by the way, I'm 17


and this works best of brown eyes!
