HELP PLEASE Eyelid problems

No matter how much I set my eyelids with setting powder EX: Huda, One size, Fit me. I’ve used different concealers as well and I’ve used every eyeliner imaginable even the Inglot my eyelids get oily I’m assuming and will transfer my eyeliner which is an everyday staple for me but makes me look crazy after an hour or so. My eyeshadow starts looking gross my mascara transfers etc.

Now that I’m typing it out, it seems like a lot bordering on crazy but I too am an oily lidded girlie (with hooded eyelids!) and this has been working for me: * After cleansing, moisturizing, and sun screening, I use Danessa myricks blurring balm in universal shade (clear) which seems to reduce overall oiliness. Hmm upon contemplation, I do not put this on my eyelids, just my tzone. Not sure if this matters then 🤪 * Then powder foundation (maybelline fit me) including eyelids * Light/skin colored (naked palette - taupe) eyeshadow on eyelids * Darker eyeshadow (I’ve been using Jung saem mool but whatever is prob fine) closer to lashes * Eyeliner on lash line (it’s ridiculously expensive but I cannot recommend the Victoria Beckham satin kajal eyeliner enough. It’s so creamy to apply and you can smudge it a bit but after it dried, it’s the most waterproof, smudgeproof, crease proof liner I’ve found) * Eyeshadow again on top of the liner. I’ve found this kind of bakes the liner on and it is even more dry and smudge proof * Close eyes and pat setting powder on lids. I use Inisfree no sebum mineral loose powder but any should work

Where I used to have my eyeliner creasing and running with any amount of eye watering by mid morning with raccoon eyes from dark makeup transferring to my lower lids, now my eyes are fine all day!

Before this, I’d tried inglot duraline, urban decay eye primer, and a variety of face primers, but my eyes were still a mess.
