Or urban decay eyeshadow primer

After foundation and concealer, if you are using them, use loose powder before you apply your eyeshadow. Make sure it isn't a HD type though as other products won't adhere to it.

Finishing powder?

Or you could try a matte eyeshadow in a neutral shade and see if you like it?

I have shiny eyelids and use Urban Decay primer or Mac used to do a paint called Untitled which worked for me.

In that case I'd just use pressed powder as eyeshadow.

You don’t need to put powder over it

Do you want to know a secret 🤫

Nars smudge proof. That is all. It will change your life

MAC paint pots won’t do the trick

The NARS primer works because it basically acts as a barrier and prevents excess oil production. Mac paint pots are essentially a layer of oily product on top, so eventually it will crease. It’s not a primer, more of a coloured base so eyeshadows are more pigmented. It also imparts a colour, whereas the NARS primer is clear
