So here's a picture of my eye. My crease looks really weird and everytime I try to apply eyeshadow on my crease for the transition color it always disappears because of my crease...help? Also ignore the smudginess of my eye I just removed my eyeliner.

Are you applying your transition color slightly "above" your crease like this?

Generally, the transition shadow is applied to the crease and slightly above it. It is the shade that will help your actual "crease" shadow blend into or transition into your lighter brow bone shadow without any obvious line of demarcation. Each color, generally (depending on the look you're going for) should fade into each other.

@Lara no I don't use primers as I never found it necessary. Instead, I use a light concealer

@Marleen, I apply it on my crease, but my crease is so weird, it just makes it look so weird. Also if you notice I have very little space between my crease and eyebrow bone

There's a YouTube girl, with almost the exact same eye shape as you, her name is miss Jessica Harlow on YouTube. You could look at how she does her eyeshadow.

Maybe you should try using one, since it helps with the satying power of the eyeshadow. I have hooded eyes so I understand that makeup "disappears" on the crease. My favorite primer is Too Faced Shadow Insurance, literally it makes my eyeshadow last all day, and paired with the suggestions done by the other girls it should work ;)
