As for eyes, the same primer rule applies: patting on a base will ensure your lids will lock in colour and product and eliminate creases and colour slippage 12 hours after application. And just like face primer, choosing the right eye primer for your skin type and concerns will be your best bet. Edgy, sexy makeup brand favourite Urban Decay makes no less than four award winning variations for every type of lid need possible: one for anti-aging, one in a shimmering champagne shade, a tawny matte version and the original, a sheer nude. All come in a precision-perfect needle nose applicator and glide on super smooth for all day (and night) wear.
