I would suggest a good eye primer rather than an eye cream. Urban Decay makes a variety of them depending on your needs.

I agree. If you apply a treatment type of eye cream to your lid it's risky because it could easily migrate down into your eyes. I've been using NYX eyeshadow base for a long time with great results.

Yup, I third the sentiment. I use either a tinted primer or non-emollient concealer because I need to cover the darkness/tea stains on my lid.

My HG has always been Clinique eye creme and Urban Decay Primer Potion. Eye makeup stays on forever!

I use LancĂ´me regenerist I think it's called. But for smooth primer lids nothing beats Mac paint pot in painterly.

Are you looking for an eye cream or an eye primer? No matter what cream I use I always have to use a primer for several reasons: 1) I have very dark tea stained eyelids, 2) eye primer helps the eyeshadow stay true to its color and wear a long time.

The best eye primer I've tried, and I've tried a lot, is Trish McEvoy's Eye Base Essentials in Bare. It's not cheap but Trish always has specials, discounts and gifts with purchase if you order from her website. So I order a couple at a time. Her Precision Brow Shaper is the best too for natural looking brows. These two products are must haves for me.
