Why does my eyeshadow disappear?

Eyeshadow can fade as a result of many things. Mainly oily eyelids, but also crying, rubbing eyes, coming in contact with water, excessive movement of eyelids, etc. The main thing to prevent fading is using a good primer. Also, high-quality eyeshadows or waterproof eyeshadows fade more slowly than others.

Just add water.

What do you use to wet eyeshadow?

You can use distilled or filtered water, makeup setting spray, or a makeup mixing medium. Avoid using tap water, as it tends to contain harmful bacteria. Also, do not dip the brush into the water, and don’t get the eyeshadow itself wet. You want the brush to be damp, not soaking wet.
