Applying an eyeshadow primer, using a sticky base like glitter glue or concealer and taping off excess eyeshadow from the brush before applying the eyeshadow can help the eyeshadow adhere better and reduce the risk of fallout. One may also apply eyeshadow before applying foundation to easily wipe away any fallout without ruining the foundation. When applying dark eyeshadows, one must always use a light hand and build up the intensity slowly and use a makeup shield or a tissue under the eyes to catch any fallout while applying eyeshadow.
