How to Prevent Eyeshadow and Eyeliner from Smudging on Oily Skin?

I often struggle with my eyeshadow and eyeliner smudging and "melting" due to having oily skin, especially when itโ€™s warm or Iโ€™m sweating. This not only ruins my makeup look but also causes discomfort as my eyelid sticks to my skin. Does anyone have recommendations for products or techniques to keep eyeshadow and eyeliner in place for longer periods, especially for those with oily or sweaty skin? Any tips on how to avoid the smudging and sticking would be greatly appreciated!

@Nomischka using an eye primer and a setting spray will help.

Have you tried an eyeshadow primer like NARS Pro-Primeโ„ข Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base  ? I use the universal clear one, you just apply it and let it set for a minutes and then you ahead with your make up. I sweat in the kitchen at work and it definitely helps my make up stay in place.

 

Another oil absorbing product I use is Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation Universal  as a sweat/oil absorbing primer. Just a dab and it really helps control my oil, makes drawing on my eyebrows allot easier.

The colored ones are nice to, like an light oil absorbing foundation in a balm. Just a little is all you need.

I'm shade Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation 2  

 

I don't use these all together, just one at a time depending on what I feel like my skin needs. If your in a Sephora anytime use I recommend looking for a tester or sample ๐Ÿ’• @Nomischka

I concur w/setting spray!  Recently traveled without it & had racoon-eyes from my mascara every day (normally I donโ€™t have any) ๐Ÿฅฒ
