eyeshadow spills..........

[doc]

Hi

whenever i apply eye shadows to my eyes i always get eye shadow spills on my face esp under eyes.Any tips to fix it without spoiling my face makeup?

Thanx

I think may artists use a load of powder under the eye! Afterwards they take it off with a brush!

Hold a tissue in the corner of your eye extending outward...So it will fall on the tissue...

Or put some loose powder on your face and then just brush it off (i find this to be a waste of product but some like it)

Personally I just put a tissue under my eyes while applying cause Im clumsy heh..

Ditto to the above.

Sometimes I'll grab a large fluffy e/s brush, dip it in loose powder, then dust under the eyes. I use less loose powder that way, and the loose powder mixes with the e/s and usually dusts it right off.

I've heard of some people using scotch tape as well.

Have you tried an eye primer yet? Lots of people use UD PP, but I use Clinique Canvas Touch Base and that really helps to keep the eyeshadow to stay put.

@ lenjhn: I thought that she talked about the spilling e/s during application when she uses too much or too loose e/s...

That's what I do too.

Ud PP is awesome...So is Mac Mixing Medium, Visine, smashbox eye primer, whatever you use to help give your shadow staying power, etc...

But none of them help spillage onto your face

Especially when you are as clutzy as me

I was forced to figure out what to do when i use pigments especially dark ones cause id end up with a dark purple streak across my face after doing all my makeup :x

All these replies r really helpful. I'll definitely try all .See what works for me.Thanx heaps & heaps & heaps.

Sorry guys, I thought she meant fallout during the day.

I usually apply my face makeup (concealer, foundation and powder) after i do my eye makeup when im using really bright pigmented colors, so you can just wipe it off with a makep remover wipe or whatever

I load on Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil under my eye. Works like a charm

tape. scotch tape. works better than any other method. and especially well on glitter.

I just dust it off with my flat wide brush.

 

[doc]

how u guys use scotch tape, doesn't it hurt and where exactly u put it?

 

[beautifulxdisaster]

scotch tape is clear so it won't hurt, duct tape is the one that will hurt

when I put dark eyeshadow on, I tilt my head to a side so it won't drop into my cheeks.
