Any suggestions for an eyeshadow that will stay on oily eyelids?

Do you use a primer first before your shadow? What have you tried that is not working?

You should try an eyeshadow primer.

I too have super oily lids, always had.

Too Faced eyeshadow primer gives me 12+ hrs of shadow wear time.

I dust my eyelids with a powder first, then apply a neutral base shade and then eyeliner and shadow. That works well for me.

Hi I have oily skin and eyelids and I agree about promer. I have been exteremly happy with Thrive Causmetics eyelift 360 waterproof primer. It is wonderful . You can even use it under eyes too . As for eyeshadow I really like Senna Cosmetics shadows

have a great weekend

Another vote for Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer.

Try Milani Eyeshadow Primer. It's top-rated and super affordable...around $6 !

I've used a lot of eye primers, but the best one I have ever found is by Younique (no, I don't sell it). This will hold your shadow on until you take it off, the stuff is seriously amazing, and that tube will last forever. Their eye shadows are also VERY good.

I use my concealer on my eyelids.

It is not the shadow it is the primer under it that will hold the color. I use one by ELF, comes in a swivel up stick, works quite well.

With my deep set eyes, the primer is the key. For years before there was a product available, my eyeshadow disappeared.

@Acf11 ... I have oily eyelids. For a long time I used the Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer which I thought was good. But recently I started using the Tatcha Silk Canvas Protective Primer. OMG, what a difference!! When I get home from work in the evening my eyeshadow looks just like it did when I first applied it in the morning, The Tatcha, IMHO, is MUCH better than the Too Faced,

I use MAC and my shadows stay on and on and on...and I have watery eyes all day long.

I also use my concealer on my eyelids like @Lipstickdiva . Before purchasing an eyelid primer, you may want to try your existing concealer. When using your undereye concealor, add it where you normally place eyeshadow.

Hope you find something that works for you.

If you have e.l.f.'s Putty Primer, it says on their website that you can also use it on your lids.

I have very oily eye lids and cannot use powdered shadow even with a primer. I use a long wear cream shadow (Laura Mercier, Lancome, and my favorite Bobbi Brown), along with the Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer. I also like the Nars primer. I've used several other brands of primer and nothing has worked as well as Too Faced and Nars.

I use a primer then apply my Bare Minerals eyeshadow. With a few hours, it looks like I never applied shadow.
