I've tried everything from loose powder to an eyeshadow base and yet about 4 or 5 hours into wearing eyeshadow, it begins to crease on me. Any suggestions?

My little secret... forgo the fancy primers. The best solution is to dab a little bit of concelar on your lids before you put on the eyeshadow. It'll help keep your eyeshadow to stay put. I hope this helps :o)

There is one miracle product - and it is a miracle that will make your eyeshadow stay put, and it will not crease, it will not even leave your face for the whole day.
This is Urban Decay's Primer Potion - use before eyeshadow and it will stay no matter what.
Other alternatives is to use cream then powder on top.
Mac Paints are a excellent base - esp in Bare Canvas or Unititled.
Use these neutral toned creams, then apply eyeshadow on top.
Seriously, nothing works better.

If you have oily skin, you are sunk. Soon after you wash your face in the morning, the oil production starts and there is nothing you can do about it. There are products that say they work for that, but I have oily skin and the skin above my eyes hangs a little over the lids, so I cannot keep eye shadow on for more than an hour, so I don't even bother.
Try using light colored eyeliner pencils and line under the bottom eyelashes. That will open up your eyes and give you some color. Be sure to smudge it across -- no hard lines.

Try a more liquid based eyeshadow. This will prevent it from creasing too much or try appling your eyeshadow with a brush. This should help to give a smooth finish which prevents cracks. Good luck!!

well you can try using baby powder first as a base before you put on your regular eyeshadow or you can use what i i use... urban decays eye shadow potion primer....i totally rocks!!! its like a cream put its sole purpose is to prevent creasing...it's not about how expensive your eyeshadow is b/c most eye shadows throughout the day wear out and crease...so buy urban decay!!

base, is that the same as cream eyeshadow? The cream eyeshadow from Revlon is the first that I've bought that hasn't creased.

Mmmm, seems like you have tried everything, don't put any lotion on your eyes either. There are anti-crease eyeshadows out there perhaps you should try one of those. Lancome and Estee Lauder have them and so does Clinique.

You might need to prep your face better... Try MAC products. Start with a Dime size portion of their Green Gel Cleanser... wash you face, then let it dry and apply MAC's oil moisture control lotion. Then use their eye cover foundation first and finally use their Studio Fix over your entire face...includiing eye lids. Use a good brush when applying the Studio Fix foundation. Be sure to use a good sponge when applying the eye cover foundation.
That should do it.

You may want to try a higher quality makeup. Arbonne is wonderful stuff, and it may help with the problem your having, unfortunately you can't buy it in department stores you have to buy from a catalog but it's not that expensive, if you become a member you get 35% off all products, go to Arbonne.com and check it out.
