    I also highly recommend a good make up primer. I want to try the Urban Decay brand everyone is recommending. I've never been a heavy user of eyeliner but could be awesome if pulled together right. I also love Sephora's brand of make up. Cheap but it works. :)

    You can use a makeup primer, or use dark eyeshadow as a sort of powder to 'set' your eyeliner, or buy a higher quality eyeliner. Oh, make sure its waterproof lol.

    This is what I do.... I first put eyeliner then put eye shadow over it, it seems to keep the eyeliner dry.

    This is what I do too. Eye liner, then the same color shadow over it. I sweat big time and I've never had a problem with doing it this way. 1) I'm cheap and 2) don't wear make-up but for a few times a year, so try to not buy a whole lot of extra make-up stuffs.

    I use cornstarch. It's weird, yes, but nothing has ever worked better for me.

    I usually put concealer on my eyelids and then some powder that way the eyeliner goes onto a dry surface. Gel seems to work the best for me. I love Physician's Formula for that.

    Fot the bottom, I line it with pencil or some type of cream eyeshadow, and then I top it with an eyeshadow that's close to the color of the pencil. It works wonders and it intensifies the cream shadow. You can also line it with white eyeliner and then put the color eye shadow over it. It works the same but does make the color 'pop' more.

    Everything the others said, but first use this as eyeshadow base. Urban Decay Primer Potion :love: ...it's worked for me for years. If you live in the US you can get it from Sephora & many online stores.

    I love Revlon's and Almay's eyeliner that's like a felt tip marker on the top lashes. Lasts through normal hot weather sweating, but not exercise sweating.

    On the bottom, I use a cheapo pencil (Wet & Wild or other $1 brands), with a little bit of powdered shadow smudged over it.

    Try a gel eyeliner, they are in a little pot container and come with an angled brush. There are a ton of different brands, but I get ELF at Target for 3.00, it stays on forever.

    This! I use Elf gel eyeliner and then run over it with eyeshadow and it lasts all day.

    I sometimes just put it on a couple hours in advance so that it will already have smudged down, and wipe that off. Maybe it's just my cheap brand of eyeliner but after the first time it never smudges at all.

    I use urban decay primer potion under my eye make up. After I use a pencil liner I go over it with a matching eyeshadow. I like the softer edges and I feel like it keeps it in place. My make up stays on through the sweatiest of all workouts too.

    Now getting blush to stay! Havent figured out that one yet lol

    i usually take a q-tip and run it acorss my waterline to remove any access water from my eyes. then you can either use a pencil or a gel eyeliner put it on your lower lids and set it with a black shadow. When I'm out of primer or good eyeliner this is usually what I do, its cheap and easy and lasts all night

    Use cream blush, then powder blush on top. After that you can also set it with loose or pressed powder and it should stay put. :wink:

    Waterproof, liquid eyeliner is the best. I used to only use liquid liner, but then my eyes couldn't tolerate it anymore and now I use pencil. Max Factor makes a great waterproof liner. You can sweat, cry, and it will still look like you just put it on..............

    revlon color stay eye liner & maybelline 12 hour carbon black eye liner work great on the water line and lash line for the most part. most staying eye liner i have come across in a drug store. the maybelline has more product than the revlon & has a built in sharpener & smudger on the bottom. .. i recommend that one.

    Hairspray works. I use MAC fluidline with an angled brush and then make sure the area around my eyes is well powdered
