Need help with oily upper eyelid! Please help!!

Please help. I was out a few hours the other day. I did not wear any eye makeup, just BB cream and lipstick. I noticed one upper eyelid was very oily when I came home. The other eye lid had little oil. Is there anything I can use to help this? Please help. Thanks.

I have to use an eyelid primer to combat the oiliness. It does make a great difference. I have found this to be only way for my eye makeup to last. I sure don't want to do anything to dry out skin anywhere on this aging lady. Good luck.

Wet n Wild Fergie eyeshadow primer is just as good as UD but soooo much cheaper.

I have very oily eyelids and I love this.

I also have oily eyelids and as the other posters have said primer will be your new BFF. I can recommend 3 that really work well for me- Trisha McEvoy Eye Base, Bare Minerals PrimeTime, and Lorac 's eye primer. If your eyelids tend to also be a little tea- stained looking, then I would first try Trisha McEvoy. If that is not an issue then my first go- to for you would be Prime Time, I am really loving this one right now!! Balances my oily eyelids beautifully, boes not make them look " creapy" and it makes my shadow last forever!! Good luck!

A good eyelid primer as mentioned above and a very light touch of cornstarch. I'm kind of a pain in the rear about this but it really does work. Great on a zit as well. Takes the red out and dries it up. I use it mixed with BE colors as my setting powder. Cheap, customized to my skin tone and it works.

I use to have this, and oh, how I wish I had it now!

I am not a huge fan of Mally's, but I do love her eye shadow base. You can use it alone or under shadow, and it really makes a difference.
