Are you missing out on this game-changing makeup product?
It’s the one makeup product that will make a world of difference if you are over the age of 45.
Tired of creating the perfect eye look in the morning to then have it crease, smudge or slide-off by mid-morning? Or maybe you suffer dry eyelids and eyeshadow can disappear entirely by mid-morning?
What you need is an eye primer.
While a normal face primer makes application smoother and more even, a targeted eye primer helps eyeshadow and eyeliner stick to the eyelid and prevents caking and creasing.
Do not underestimate its power especially if you are over the age of 40 when eyes become more watery for some unexplained reason.
Remember to allow a minute air time for the formula to dry and absorb. You can also use it under your eyes on dark circles to prevent concealer from creasing.
Here are our favourite eyeshadow primers to lock on your makeup look so it lasts all day long.
