i’ve started wearing a bit more makeup recently, but i today i noticed that it gets ruined pretty quickly to an unbelievable extent.
today i put on some heavy eye makeup & a very light base (but including primer and powder) at around 6 am. Keep in mind that i’m at school all day doing basically nothing (except a 30 minute walk during lunch break). At around 2:30 I look in a mirror and turns out i look as if i’d been mauled by a bunch of animals and somehow brought back to life… Like, no matter what you’re picturing, it probably looked even worse. Like, i don’t mean to make myself sound like some sort of crybaby, but i was genuinely on the brink of tears after seeing myself like that from the sheer embarrassment. I literally felt like I was going to throw up - it was that bad…
Anyway, I guess I just don’t understand how it’s possible for my makeup to get that obliterated in a matter of a few hours while doing nothing? It’s not like i was working out or anything and i’m not a naturally sweaty person… Plus I tend to buy makeup others recommend.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be the issue? :(
What exactly was wrong?
My eye makeup used to crease when I was new to using makeup. I’d do an awesome smokey eye, but my eyelids would be naked halfway through the day, surrounded by the rest of my dark eyeshadow. It looked awful. I wasn’t using an eye primer, and I have hooded eyes, so my entire eyelids became an oily mess throughout the day and the powders had nothing to hold onto.
Urban Decay Primer Potion has worked phenomenally for me, and you can buy a smaller tube to try it out. There are lots of other eye primers, too.
But it’s hard to say or recommend anything when the only description we have is “mauled by a bunch of animals.” It’s certainly funny and dramatic, but it doesn’t really help us help you.
