What is a good product to fix oily eyelids and to keep the eyeshadow from creasing. My bride in the wedding I have coming up has oily lids so I need something long lasting. Any suggestions?

Like an eye primer or something else? I have super oily lids, and the the Too faced shadow insurance really used to work for me. I don't know if they changed their formula recently, but it doesn't as well anymore. Surprisingly, the milani eye primer has been my go to. I haven't had any problems with creasing or anything. I tried the UD primer potion and that didn't work to well for me, but I know a lot of people love it. I've read that UD works better for dry lids but I could be totally wrong. Those are really the only eye primers I've tried though. Hope that helped.

I use the lorac primer and a base from either nyx or a mac paint pot. I can't just use one. I had a sample of the nars though and it was awesome lol but I already had all my other primers and bases so I didn't get a full one. Point being, just primer doesn't work for me.

Too faced shadow insurance is a amazing primer, also using a base like NYX milk helps but I would still recommend a primer.

Eyeshadow primers are awesome! If you've tried a primer and they are still to oily, try a matte concealer as a base.

Definitely moisturize moisturize moisturize that area! Then you can prime, or conceal the area and set it with translucent powder or a powder of your choice.

Primer is the best solution to stop your eyeshadow from creasing, smudging or fading away after a long period of time. it helps your eyeshadow to stay in place and it works

Day to day I use Too Face shadow insurance and a Mac paint pot over top. UD PP doesn't work well for me other than a primer for under the eyes.
For brides I like using MAC paint in bare canvas. It comes in a tube and is a pale shell/beige color so neutral for any eye look.

Definitely mac paint pots. I use urban decay's primer potion and the utterly becoming mac paint pot.

I HATE primer potion! It makes the shadow hard to blend.
Try MAC paint pot or a little concealer on your lids 1st
