Choose an eyeshadow that is in a color that blends with your eyeliner color and that matches your eye color. When you put the eyeliner on your eyelids, you should dab small amounts of eyeshadow over it for extra protection.

3. Wear Concealer

You want wear concealer under your eyelids and right above your eyelids because concealer prevents smudges from the eyeliner and it enables you to keep the eyeliner on longer without having to reapply the eyeliner frequently during the day. Look for a concealer that matches your skin tone and that is thick enough to cover your skin’s flaws before putting on the eyeliner.

4. Avoid Eyeliner That Is Oily

If you have naturally oily skin, you want to choose eyeliner that is not very oily because when you wear oily eyeliner, your eyeliner is more likely to smudge and crease, and it will not last a long time. There are eyeliners on the market that are designed for those with oily skin that you can purchase. If you have skin allergies, a non-oily eyeliner may also be a good choice for you.

5. Use Dark Eyeshadow Before Applying Eyeliner

When you apply a dark-colored eyeshadow before putting on the eyeliner, you reduce chances of smudging your eyeliner and your eyes will have a uniform look overall. After you apply the eyeshadow and the eyeliner, remove all excess eyeliner from your eyelids.
