Hello ladies!
My problem is that my eyelids and face is kinda oily, so everytime I put a black eyepen on (or any other color) it smudges badly. I've tried to use a eyeprimer but it doesn't help, and I've tried a couple of different eyepens, one of them is Too faced.
Help! 💄✏️

Try another primer. Missglamorazzi on YouTube has the same problem and she uses the Nars eyeshadow primer and loves it!

Dust powder underneath your eye to help 'set' the eyeliner.

You're welcome. What eyeliner are you using too? I used to have the same issue and tried tons of different liners before finding the right one.

I'm using a Isadora black twist up eyepencil, and a too faced black eyepencil perfect eyes, for primer I use Too Faced Anti Crease Eye Shadow Primer. :)

I use L'Oreal Infallible Twist Up Liner and Kat Von D Liquid Liner (absolutely ❤️ this stuff, its super black and doesn't move at all until you remove it at night).

Also just applying primer (alone) makes mine come off easier, so I apply the primer and then a eyeshadow (you could just use a neutral color if you don't want color) and then your liner.

Aha okay, but I don't use a real eyeliner, I'm bad at it. So I'm just using a eyepencil in my upper waterline, I don't know why it smudges that bad.. :/

Well the L'Oreal I use is a pencil but it just twist up... Anyways I'm sure its because of what you are using. I had the same issue and it took me years to find the right product (even if it is high end, doesn't always mean its the best. I looked up the pencil you use and I think the problem is that it is mainly meant for smudging... Gel can actually be a good option too, I recommend Gel Eyeliner or Inglot.
