It’s happening again: your eyeshadow and eyeliner are slipping off your eyelids, but you’ve still got three meetings to power through before the end of the day. Even if you don’t have oily lids, getting your eyeshadow to last can be a struggle. Here are some tips for making sure your eyeshadow slays all day. Check out this website for quality products.

Setting sprays keep your eye game on point. This is a must if you’re running on five hours of sleep and still need to look awake (hey, we’ve all been there).
Most sprays are designed to work for all skin types, whether you’ve got a patchy T zone or struggle with acne spots. You can use the spray either before or after you finish using your eyeshadow palette. Spray evenly all over your face; just make sure to keep your eyes closed so you don’t accidentally spray yourself in the eye. That would be yikes on bikes.
Once you’ve done the setting spray, your makeup should be on lock for up to 16 hours. So, you can go meet friends after work looking like you just applied your eyeshadow. No one will be the wiser.
Hot tip: get a travel-size bottle of setting spray to keep in your purse, just in case you need a touch-up.

Moisturize
Truth: You have to moisturize and drink water. This seems ridiculously simple, but it really does keep your skin plush, happy, and healthy. And, if you struggle with dark undereye circles, drinking more water can reduce that puffy look. Putting eyeshadow on top of dry or tired-looking skin can make the product “float” on the skin rather than evenly … Read the rest
