How To Apply Foundation Make Up to the Eyelids
Applying eye makeup is one of the trickiest parts in giving a decent look to a face. If you are good in applying eye makeup, then you are a good makeup artist for sure. In the meantime, if you apply a good eye makeup, but it becomes cracked in few hours, then you certainly need to know how you can hold the makeup for longer period of time.
For some, it may be appear really difficult to apply something that can hold the makeup. However, the reality is completely different. You can just apply the foundation before you apply the makeup on the eyelids, which will keep your eye makeup in place for hours.

Before you start applying foundation on your eyelids, you should make sure that eyelids are clean and moisturised. Moisturising the eye area will protect the delicate tissues, and will allow the foundation to be applied in a proper manner. To moisturise the eye area, take a cotton ball and moisten it before rubbing on the eye area. It will remove any dirt or oil from the skin. Then rub your eyelids gently with the help of your fingers, to blend in the moisturiser.
