I have very greasy eye lids and I use Urban Decay Primer Portion. Read this thread -- some good information is in it and some suggestions for other es primers. http://specktra.net/f266/ud-primer-potion-rocks-46948/
What primers have you used? Some people swear by paints or shadesticks. Both of these crease on me if I don't use UDPP 1st. The only other product that does not crease on me is the paint pot. So, now I can use either UDPP or paint pots as an eye shadow base.
UDPP is so good, that as part of my skin care regimen, I use MAC’s Fast Response Eye Cream all over my eyes and w/UDPP, I still have no creasing. Whereas before, my eye shadows would crease w/out UDPP.
Hope all of this makes sense.

I have exactly the same problem. After 2 hours my eye shadow/eyeliner has either leaked down under my eyes (giving me that awful tired look without the tiredness) OR the shadow has gathered all in the crease on my upper lid but good luck seeing it on my lid!
I find Barry M Dazzle Dusts quite good at staying put though! But I was really relying on Urban Decay's Primer Potion to save me from this creasing/escaping problem. I haven't bought it yet but am about to - does anyone else suffer from this problem and UDPP has saved them? *crosses fingers and wishes loads* x

Yes, it will eliminate the "creasing/escaping problem". The trick is to use the tiniest amount of UDPP. In fact, I put it all over my eye and on the lower lash line. Nothing ever runs or creases. I used to use Benefit She Laq on my lower lash line after applying my shadows there to keep them from running when my eyes watered. I don't anymore because my es stays put since I use UDPP on my lower lash line, too.

i had the creasing problem and i started using UDPP and it made me feel like i had new eyeshadows. lol! i love it and it doesn't crease. i put on my makeup around 6:30 in the morning (just during the week) and even when i'm leaving work it still looks like it did when i first put it on.
eye paints work well to but i don't use mine that often. they do work tho

Don't forget to blot the eye with some tissue before you use a MAC paint or UDPP. If I don't do this I will still get oil breakthrough in 2 hours.
Also the paints with shimmer dont hold as well as the flat. I like BAMBoom, but the Magrites paint was terrible.
I don't even bother using shadow if I dont have a paint or UDPP. And I second the fact that pots aren't good for oily lids.

YES! YES! Did I say YES!!
UDPP is definitely a cult fave deserving of its reputation!!! I am sooooo oily it's ridiculous! But this is the ONLY product that really works for me w/o any e/s creasing or breakthrouh oiliness. I cannot rave enough about t. There aren't many products that have impressed me this much. Now if I could only find a foundation, face primer, and powder that does the same I would be one happy chica!

UDPP is a must
but if you already have oily eyelids, try Too Faced Shadow Insurance. the texture is slightly thicker than UDPP, so it's not as slick as UDPP. I have both just because they were on sale about 2 weeks ago lol.
ALSO, if you have oily eyelids, try Diva Defense Primer from Coastal Scents (Coastal Scents: Diva Defense Primer)
Dust this on your eyelid (a little goes a long way), and let it "set in" for about 2 minutes. It is a MUST HAVE for anyone with oily eyelids or a combo/oily t-zone. This stuff is amazing. I always get a lil oily a few hours after i put on my makeup around my nose area, but since i've been using this stuff, i dont even have to blot anymore. it's really great. I'm sure this could work miracles for oily eyelids too. You can either get a sample jar or the full size jar, but just know that the full size jar has a TON of product in it.
I use a very dense and very soft kabuki brush (Too Faced Retractable Kabuki w/ teddy bear hair) to apply it all over my face, eyelids included. then i put on my mineral foundation, then UDPP and i'm good to go.

I have greasy lids too and I also use UDPP with a paint pot on top. I really want to try Shadow Insurance too.

I only discovered eyeshadow primers after becoming addicted to MakeupGeek.com --- I started using Too Faced Shadow Insurance and it really works for me. I have oily lids and deep set eyes, and before the primer I had given up on shadow because it only lasted an hour or so.
I'm interested in trying MAC paint pots as well.
