Creasing!!

I've heard so many times that maybelline color tattoo eyeshadows don't crease but guess what - they do on me!! After 8 hours or so. I don't use primer, I just use concealer and powder but this always prevented creasing with all shadows. Any tips?

Or maybe you need to use a primer under them.

I agree with Terra M., you're probably putting on too much at once. Try applying a little, letting it dry, and adding more as you need to get the color payoff you want. It may take a bit longer to do your makeup, but it's worth it if you want to prevent creasing and you're not gonna use a primer.

Have you set them with a translucent powder?

Putting concealer and powder underneath is unnecessary. You're just adding extra layers which increases the chance of your eyeshadow creasing. If you really need some coverage, try a really thin layer of concealer.

To all primer gals, I never use it and everything stays amazingly well on me.. Also the whole purpose of these is to have a quick thing that stays.. That's why I was disappointed. I obviously use powder shadow on top sometimes but it beats the purpose. Thanks for the tips

Concealing is probably the issue. Have you tried MAC paint pots? I use them to prime the eye then follow with powder shadow or cream. It does not move!

Use less product and use a primer. Primers don't just help the product last longer, they protect your skin from having too much of the product seep through. :)

The concealer and powder will just make the amount of makeup on your eye thicker and then there's more chance of creasing, I don't think you need to use less shadow, just drop the concealer and powder and it should be fine, use a primer aswell if you want to.

Are you setting the Color Tattoo with a matching colored eyeshadow? It'll reinforce the color and maybe stop the creasing?

try a primer, very lightly..if u still have the problem why not dust a little bit of eyeshadow thats as close to the colour tattoo (colour wise) on top with a very light hand.
