How To Make Your Eye Makeup Last All Day Without a Primer

Sharing is caring!

When applying eyeshadow, usually you’ll pick a primer to keep your eye makeup on longer but, what if you don’t have a primer and you have less than 20 minutes to get ready? Should I panic if I ran out of my primer?

No worries because a primer isn’t the only way to keep your eye makeup in place. Just follow these 3 steps and you’ll be good to go!

Step 1:

Grab your concealer and smear across your eyelids then top it off with a loose powder.

Step 2:

Grab your eyeshadow brush and wet it. That’s right…wet it. It keeps the eyeshadow in place and intensifies the color.

Step 3:

Apply your eyeshadow. If you have a cream-based eyeshadow, apply that first then the powder eyeshadow. Your eyeshadow color will surely POP!

I use this method every time and it never fails me. For eyeshadows that stands on its own for long-lasting color, try brands like MAC, Make Up For Ever, Illamasqua, and Bobbi Brown.
