So, get your eye-cream game on when you are keen to play with those beautiful eye-shadows.

2. Prime your lids:

3. Powder after you apply primer:

For that butter smooth transition of eye-shadow colors, you need to powder after you apply primer. First of all, it will set your primer in place and lock it for long.
