Eyeshadow primer is the key to getting your shadow to last throughout the day without a smudge. However, we all know that it doesn’t make the cut of an average girl’s makeup kit.
Not to worry if you fall within this category, there are a few simple hacks that will ensure your eye makeup stays put.
Substitute With A Concealer
Adding concealer to your lid just before you apply your shadow is a pretty decent option. Because concealers are soft and blendable they are the perfect alternative to eyeshadow primer. They ensure your eyeshadow stay for longer.

Create An Eyeshadow Base
Creating a base is simply the art of layering colours until you achieve the desired one. This technique allows you to play with colours – preferably lighter ones depending on the kind of look you are trying to achieve.
Vaseline
This option is the ultimate hack if you are trying to achieve a pigmented look. The trick is to scoop a little bit of the product on your lid then apply the colour of your choice on it. You could also do a quick mix on your hand – whatever works best for you. You should, however, be careful of the product as it tends to get messy.

Rose Water/ Setting Spray
Spraying rose water or setting spray on your brush before applying the shadow creates a wet and dewy look. This option dilutes the texture of the shadow to create a long-lasting one.

White Pencil
Every girl probably has a white pencil she never uses. It, however, comes handy in a no primer case, all you have to do is apply it before the product. This option is perfect for ladies that are hesitant about mixing colours to get the perfect look.
The options are simple and they cost next to nothing. So be ready to get your shadow popping like never before on your next attempt. You are welcome!
