window, eyeshadow adornes your eyes. Unfortunately, we were not all born with flawless-non-oily
skin; so getting eyeshadow to stay put on those beautiful "windows", all day long, is nearly impossible.
My mother and I are both cursed with the dreaded eyelid-oil-slick. It's really quite the tragedy; nearly as awful as Romeo and Juliet.
After testing every over priced eye primer Pinterest could suggest to us, we discovered the eye primers were only adding to the problem; they're far too greasy to apply to an already greasy surface. Thus, my mother decided to attempt a powder foundation as a primer. She applied the powder and brushed on her go-to purple shadow. After spending the entire day outside in the South Florida heat, she walked inside to a fantastic surprise. Her eyeshadow was exactly where she left it!
The days of the purple oil slick were finally over.
Of course, I assumed since it worked for mommy dearest, it would have to work for me as well.
Wrong. So very, very wrong.
The powder only dulled down my normally glitzy hues and left my lids looking like a runner's t-shirt from "The Color Run."(The epitome of drab.)
Obviously, I needed to continue my hunt. I tried everything in my makeup bag that I doubted in the past and, what do ya know, I FINALLY found a solution.
Covergirl concealer. This light product made the perfect primer for my lids. It keeps my hues bright and well blended for the entire day; what more can a girl ask for? (Well, maybe some chocolate.)
So, for those of you out there suffering from eyelid-oil-slick syndrome; pull all your eyeshadows out of storage. It's time for YOU to rock that fab smokey eye you've been dying to try!
