Priming your eyelids before applying eyeshadow ensures a smooth canvas and enhances the color payoff. Start by cleansing your eyelids to remove oils. Apply a small amount of eye primer evenly across the eyelid; you can use your fingertip or a brush for this. Let the primer dry for a minute before applying eyeshadow. This not only prevents creasing but also keeps your eyeshadow in place all day. If you don't have a primer, a dab of concealer followed by setting powder works as a great alternative.
