Struggling with eyeliner in Singapore? Let’s face it; applying eyeliner is a process that is particularly challenging for those of us with oily eyelids. Add Singapore’s humidity to the mix and chances are that your eyeliner is faded, or worse, smudged by the end of the day. Fortunately, there is still hope! With the right products and techniques, you can achieve that long-lasting, smudge-proof eye makeup look – yes, even in Singapore’s heat!
Read on to find our tried-and-tested favourites that will help you master your eyeliner game without losing out to oily lids.
How to Make Eyeliner Last on Oily Lids
When shopping for eyeliners for oily skin, try to shortlist those that say water-proof, smudge-proof and long-lasting. It is also helpful to apply eye primer to create a smooth base that helps your eyeliner stay on for longer. Some brands will even suggest setting your eyeliner with transparent power or matching eyeshadow to ensure it does not budge. Finally, keep your hands to yourself! Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes to keep that perfect cateye or double wing intact throughout the day.
