Can you use vaseline as an eye make up primer?

and what's the best affordable under eye concealer and how do you determine the right shade?Can you use vaseline as an eye make up primer?
Vaseline would definitely help the pigments stick but I wouldn't recommend it for long-wear...if you have even the slightest bit of oil on your lids or if it gets that way during the day, it'll crease.





When you do use it, use it VERY sparingly...and make sure it blends out nicely. Using a liquid foundation or a concealer would work as a primer, too. Just use everything mentioned very sparingly.





As far as undereye concealer goes, find a shade that's a couple of tones lighter than your normal foundation shade and make sure it has a yellow tint to it. That will cancel out the blue undertone underneath your eyes. I really like Physician's Formula for concealers, they have sticks and wands that you can choose from to fit your need. (I recommend their Twin Concealers in fair and green, the green being used for the redness, if you have any of that.)





Best of luck!Can you use vaseline as an eye make up primer?
I've never heard using vaseline as a eye makeup primer.





I have heard of using vaseline as a make up remover, and a mixing medium.





A mixing medium is something you mix with pigments or loose shadows to create a paste of sorts. You can use this 'paste' as an eyeshadow or eyeliner.





Generally for concealers you choose one shade lighter than your foundation or skintone. If you need to conceal dark undereye circles choose a concealer that has more yellow undertones. If you need to conceal redness choose a green concealer.


There is a lot of concealers out there, right now I'm using Clinique's Undereye Corrector.
I use vaseline to remove eye makeup. I don't think it would make a good primer--whatever you put on it would just slide right off.





The right shade of concealer is supposed to be one shade lighter than your foundation/skintone. Some lines, like L'Oreal, have a wider range of shades, divided into cool, warm, and neutral--you just do a little questionnaire and find out which category is yours. You can go on just about cosmetic website and take an online questionnaire to determine your right shade.





Can't help you on the best affordable undereye concealer. I'm still looking for one myself. Right now I'm using Revlon's Age Defying cream stuff, because the skin under my eyes is dry. It's okay; better than anything else I've tried at the drugstore.
NEVER EVER USE VASELINE ON YOUR FACE ESPECIALLY THE EYES THEY ARE THE MOST SENSETIVE PART OF US.





There is a gorgeous eye make-up primer by URBAN DECAY it works really well 10000000 better than vaseline.





Maybelline has a very nice line of concealers, and the only way to know if it works is to try it on with the help of a make-up artist.
No. Vaseline can block your eyelids and you will find you will suffer from persistent itch eyes, brittle eyelashes that break and don't always grow back.





Either buy a good primer like Urban Decay Primer Potion which is the daddy of them all but a bit pricey.





Alternatively, use foundation on your eyelids.
I recently went o my dermatogist and i told him that i use vaseline on my face bcos' i see like dry spots, he said dnt ever use vaseline bcos' its like to thick of a paste to apply on your skin and give you white heads.
Vaseline will continue to move, and take your eyeshadow with it.


Try a creamy eyeshadow, or even your concealer, and you will get much better results.
no i wouldnt use vaseline


you can use it on your eyes by itself to make them shiny but if you put makeup over it .. it will most likely melt away or smear everywhere





for the under eye concealer use powder thats like 3 shades lighter then your skin tone
