Blogger's choice: the best products for those with oily eyelid skin

Possible causes of the problem and how to deal with them

Here are some possible reasons why eye shadow creases:

1. Oily eyelid skin
2. Specific eye anatomy, such as drooping eyelids
3. You use low-quality cosmetics
4. Crazy summer heat)

Makeup artists give some tips on how to keep the shadows on your eyes looking great for as long as possible :

• Before applying eye shadow, use a special eyeshadow base.
• loose matte shadows with a dry texture will stay on your eyes longer than all other types of shadows, so for everyday makeup you should opt for them
• To apply shadows, it is better to use a brush, then the layer of cosmetics will be thinner and the likelihood that the shadows can roll off is reduced
• if you apply shadows with your fingers, their natural lipid layer will make your eyelids look oilier
• try to purchase eye cosmetics from trusted manufacturers

Let's start with shadow application errors

And this is the correct application

The greasy cream that was applied.

Or just eye cream that hasn’t had time to absorb. The first one is not suitable for eyelids, in the second case, let it absorb. Even after shrinking, the skin remains moist.

Don't apply foundation on your eyelids

: Shadows will move.

Shrinkage.

If you apply primer to your eyelids or fluid, BB cream, do not waste time on shrinkage - 5-10 minutes at least.

Let's degrease.

Before applying eye shadow, wipe your skin with an oil-free makeup remover or micellar to remove oiliness.

Subsequence.

Concealer first, then eye shadow. But it needs to be the other way around. The shadows will float, float and roll.

Exception

- black shadows, dark blue: they will crumble in any case, and under concealer they will give the effect of a bruise. Therefore, we paint the shadows last.

Most people apply shadow to the middle of the eyelid and blend it towards the edges. It is not right! You need to start from the outer corner, where the main amount of pigment is applied, and then shade it to the inner corner.

The final touches are to blend the shadows beyond the crease of the eyelid and upward to optically enlarge the eyes.

Oily eyelids

Let’s take a closer look at this variant of the problem with eye makeup. Oily skin around the eyes is rare, but it brings a lot of problems to its owners.

How to recognize that you have oily eyelids:

• shadows settle into the crease of the eyelid an hour or two after application
• makeup stains on eyelids
• the shadows don't blend well
• a few hours after application, you notice that the color of the shadows has become much less pigmented
• mascara imprints on the eyelids soon after application

Oily skin and eyelash extensions

In one of the previous articles, we promised to tell you about such a problem as “oily skin”. And also why, in this case, it is worth signing up for eyelash extensions after 15.00. It's no secret that oily skin is the worst enemy of eyelash extensions. But if suddenly someone doesn’t know, we’ll tell you in more detail. Any fatty creams and oils contain substances that destroy the glue, and after using them, the hairs may simply fall off. Therefore, you should put the jars dear to your heart in a distant drawer. But often the wear time is also affected by the fat that naturally appears on our skin. It has long been proven that eyelash extensions last much longer on dry skin than on oily skin. How can you increase the wear time with this feature by a month or more? Catch a life hack! - Watch the time! You will be surprised, but the sebaceous glands work like clockwork. Cosmetologists have found that 2-3 hours after waking up and in the next 4-5 hours, our sebaceous glands are most active, and it is at this moment that you should not sign up for the procedure. — Before the procedure (30 minutes) and after (after 2 hours) wipe your face with a low-fat lotion. — After extensions, use napkins. If you notice shine on your face, do not rush to use powder, because in this case our skin begins to work even more actively. It is best to gently “blot” oily areas with matting wipes. — The right foundation. Any foundation contains a greasy base, and as a result, it also affects the wear of artificial eyelashes. An excellent replacement option is a liquid foundation serum. This product is usually very light and “low-fat” - Wash your face no more than 3 times a day. The more you dry your skin with special foams and gels for washing, the faster and stronger it produces sebaceous secretions. Plus, don’t forget to wash your eyelashes properly! Wash your face with boiled water, because chlorine and other substances negatively affect artificial curls, do not rub your eyes or wipe with a hard towel, but rather replace it with paper napkins. By following these simple rules, you will not only extend the life of your eyelash extensions, but also make your skin healthier!

Also important is the qualification of the master and the materials and tools with which he works. In our network of professional eyelash extension studios, each master is able to extend eyelashes for any skin type, except for rare cases of allergies and increased sensitivity of the skin, and in these cases there is always a check for skin reaction. We have a large number of adhesives and special chemicals in our arsenal to ensure that the eyelashes last a long time; our record is 3 months without loss!

Therefore, carefully choose professionals and do not forget that this is a complex procedure that requires the hands of professionals and high-quality materials.

There are also shadow bases for oily eyelids. They are created specifically to prevent any type of eye shadow from rolling off on the eyelids if they are too oily.

Long-lasting eye makeup: secrets

What to do if your eyelids get oily: tips, solutions and expert opinion

I leave the house: there are a couple of good layers of mascara on my eyelashes, wide black wings and thickly smeared pink shadow on my eyelids. The shading and color are even, without gaps, everything looks neat. It’s not hot outside, it’s not raining, it would seem that nothing threatens my makeup (except that I rub my eyes). But after a couple of hours, all that remains is a dirty gray-brown stain. The shadows crept into the crease of the eyelid, mascara was imprinted somewhere under the eyebrow, and the arrows “flowed” under the eye. The time for micellar water is coming, there is no other salvation. This is how people with oily eyelids live.

It’s been five years now that a mirror, make-up remover wipes and a pack of cotton swabs fit into my backpack for permanent residence. It’s dangerous to leave the house without them: you never know how your eyelids will react today not only to new, but also to already traditional makeup. Yes, sometimes that happens. You finally find products that stay on your face all day, you’re happy, and the next time everything doesn’t go according to plan. This results in a constant “staff turnover” in the cosmetic bag: products replace each other at the speed of the Flash, because they simply don’t fit.

Blepharoplasty is the most effective way

The fastest and most effective method to remove sagging skin above the eyes is plastic surgery. Eyelid surgery is called blepharoplasty; it allows you to get long-lasting, sometimes permanent results.

The main indications for blepharoplasty (lower and upper) are:

• sagging skin of the upper eyelid;
• "aging eyelid";
• tired look (“heavy eyelids”);
• bags under the eyes;
• excess skin of the lower eyelids.

With the help of eyelid surgery, the following problems can be solved:

• get rid of excess skin and fat around the eyes;
• tighten the muscles in the area around the eye orbit;
• reduce the consequences of age-related changes;
• eliminate eyelid defects and change the shape and shape of the eyes.

Thus, upper eyelid blepharoplasty eliminates excess skin hanging over the eyes. This type of surgery is usually performed through a skin incision along the crease of the upper eyelid, through which excess fat and skin are removed.

Although the operation is quite simple for an experienced plastic surgeon, there are a number of contraindications and negative consequences that you should be aware of before removing drooping eyelids using surgery.

Blepharopoastics can remove drooping eyelids and change the shape and shape of the eyes.

Surgery is contraindicated for people with thyroid problems, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. They should consider options for how to remove drooping eyelids at home without surgery.

In addition, after blepharoplasty, the shape of the eyes may look unnatural due to the effect of stretched skin.
