Applying eyeliner has always required a certain amount of focus and skill—the efforts of which become futile the moment an oily lid causes your cat eye to run. The trick to keeping eye makeup in place in spite of a heat wave or high humidity index, says editorial makeup artist Daniel Martin, lies in layering the right primer, liner, and powder. “If you take the time to [apply] those three things, it won’t budge.”
Martin starts with a base of Smashbox Photo Finish 24 Hour Shadow Primer to create an invisible magnet-like effect from the lashline to the eye crease for any makeup to follow. “It doesn’t have any color, but it’s like an adhesive for whatever you put on top of it.” Next, a gel-based eyeliner like Dior’s Diorshow Pro Liner is “perfect for humidity” because it will dry quickly after application and “lock down.” But to secure a truly smudge-proof day or night, Martin says you should trace over the gel line with a powder in a matching shade of pigment. For a black line with depth, he likes By Terry Eye Powder Kajal, though he notes almost any matte powder eye shadow will perform just as well. It’s a beauty equation guaranteed to beat the heat.
