Q: I'm looking for an eyeshadow base that keeps my shadows/liner from getting creased, shiny and gross 2 hours after I apply... but also something I can wear by itself during the day. Any recommendations? Thanks!

A: I love wearing lots of eye makeup—smoky eyes are for day, in my book—and my favorite product for keeping it in place is Benefit Lemon Aid, a yellow cream actually meant more for concealing and neutralizing eyelid discoloration—but I didn't know that until just now. It's so good at keeping shadow, liner and even under-eye concealer in place that I just assumed that was its primary function.

A while back I used it in a smoky eye tutorial video—if you're interested, watch it here.

THIS OTHER PRIMER FROM BENEFIT ALSO WORKS-F.Y..EYE NUDE PRIMER. I JUST BOUGHT IT LAST NIGHT AND TESTED IT OUT TODAY-MY SHADOW IS STILL THERE WITH NO CREASES. ANOTHER ONE I LOVE IS THE EYE PRIMER BY MARY KAY. IT IS WHITE IN COLOR SO IT DOESNT REALLY CONCEAL ANY DISCOLORATION ON YOUR EYELIDS, BUT IT WORKS GREAT FOR KEEPING EYE SHADOW PUT.
