How do you stop makeup run under your eyes

My eyes are watery once in a while and if I just use a little bit of eyeshadow as eyeliner it looks like this. Any recommendations? Sorry that picture looks creepy ๐Ÿ˜…

RE: How do you stop makeup run under your eyes

I wear contacts so my eyes are always watery so wearing eyeliner was hard and this same thing would happen to me until I found NYX waterproof eyeliner and I havenโ€™t had that problem.

How do you stop makeup run under your eyes

So I am of Italian descent, and in the summer my skin gets oily, oil gets in my eyes, and the watering starts. I also live in Vancouver, so hello humidity. I have this down to a system. First thing is sunscreen. After that I start with my face, a primer, Smashbox foundation, and Nars concealer (Nars isn't my holy grail, but I haven't found better yet). after that I do a slight contour and pack powder under my eyes, on my forehead, and on my nose. This keeps my foundation from running into my eyes. I then use a primer on my lids. I find that Too Faced Glitter Glue works well, but I love glitter. I then set it with powder or a light eyeshadow. My go to palette is Soft Glam by Anastasia Beverly Hills, it lasts all day fairly easily. If I want some extra glitter I use the Nyx liquid glitters and they work beautifully and do not budge on hooded oily lids. I then use my favourite eyeliner, the Fenty Beauty Flyliner. It stays all day no matter what I do to it. I have worked out and it has stayed. My only qualm is the cap on mine no longer fully seals and causes the brush to dry a tiny bit, but it still makes a sharp line and if shaken isn't too bad. I then use the L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara. This one stays put without flaking or smudging, while Better than Sex was all over my face in two hours. I then do my brows, which I am blessed with full brows and just go over it with brown eyeshadow. Then I take my big fluffy brush (not sure what it is called, but it makes me feel like a princess), brush the powder off my face, and apply blush. I am then done and it typically lasts all day without moving when my eyes water or getting in my eyes.

Hi @NadiaDoreen Do you use any setting powder under your eyes? Adding some powder might help. Also an eyeshadow base like the  NARS Pro-Primeโ„ข Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base Original might help keep the eyeshadow in place. Do you know if your eyeliner is waterproof? If not, maybe one like the  stila Stay All Dayยฎ Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner - Micro Tip Intense Black might be good to try.
