1. Don't apply facial oils or moisturizers that aren't oil-free over your eyelids.

Your eyelids get oily on their own.If you add more oil and moisture to your eyelids, your eye makeup will certainly slip off before you're ready for it to.

If you want to use an eye cream and have makeup that doesn't crease, use the cream before you go to bed.

Make sure to wash it off in the morning so you start with a clean eyelid slate.

2. Don't prime your eyelids with concealer or foundation.

This is the biggest misconception when it comes to makeup.

While it might provide grip momentarily, both formulas usually contain oils that cause your eye makeup to move around on your eye, which is what you're trying to avoid."

3. Look for long-wearing properties when shopping for eye makeup.

You need to think like a swimmer if you want a budge-proof effect.

If the makeup you're mulling over says "long-lasting," "water-resistant," or "waterproof," chances are it won't transfer, lift, or crease.

4. Use a primer if you need 24-hour color lock.

If you need your makeup to stay put from morning until way into the night, Sir John suggests using an oil-free primer or patting a pressed powder on your lid before applying makeup.

5. Scribble a gel liner over your eyelid and blend as the base for your eye shadow.

Really! After applying your eyeliner over your lash line, take a gel liner that matches your eye shadow and apply it haphazardly where you'll be applying your shadow.

Then blend it around with your ring finger or brush so it doesn't look like random streaks.
