DC Scout | | | | | | FASHION RX | |  | | Chat highlight | Primer first, just like painting!: Hi, ladies – I recently found an answer to a problem that's bugged me for years, so I wanted to share. I don't wear eyeshadow very often because it always ends up scrunched up in the creases of my eyelid, making funny-looking lines. I finally caved and skeptically bought some makeup "primer" (I got Rimmel's, but I'm sure there are other brands). It worked great and didn't feel strange or heavy – my eyeshadow stayed in place all evening long. Holly Thomas: Thanks for sharing! A good eyeshadow primer is a must-have – I'm a fan of Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion, but there are tons of good ones on the market - check out Smashbox, Benefit, Too Faced, and Clarins for additional options.
