Ask Lisa + Liz

My eye shadow looks great for a couple of hours in the morning but becomes a creased mess by noon. How come?

By Lisa Tant

First published in Chatelaine.com's August 2003 issue.

Shadows easily crease in the summer when temperatures soar and you perspire--or if you apply too many products on your lids. To keep your lids streak free, avoid layering them with foundation, concealer, eye cream or moisturizer in the morning. Instead, dust lids with a translucent powder, then brush on a powder shadow. You may find that cream formulas crease too much in the summer. --Lisa Tant
