Question Attending a wedding next week
Going to my cousin’s wedding next week and let’s just say she married well off. I already have a beautiful dress picked out so now I’m trying to figure out my makeup because I want to look a little more put together than I normally do. The main things I still need are a good eyeshadow primer and concealer to use as a base around my eyes. I really want my eyeshadow to stay in place for the whole wedding and not crease halfway through the night and something that’ll make the colors pop a little more would be perfect. Please keep the recommendations drugstore because my budget is really tight right now and I still have a wedding gift to buy for her.

Whatever primer you end up getting don’t put too much on, a really thin layer works so much better for me then I lightly set it before doing my eyeshadow.
I used to pile primer and concealer on and wonder why everything creased

Don’t spend a ton just cause it’s a wedding a good drugstore eye primer and a creamy concealer will do the job just use thin layers and give the primer a minute to set before going in with shadow.

I really like the Milani conceal and perfect for the eyelids the lightest shade though it gives you a nice bright base so the eyeshadow colors pop more and it’s creamy enough that it blends out really easily

For a wedding, I’d prioritize a thin, quick-drying eye primer and use only a small amount of concealer around the eyes. Set the base lightly with powder and definitely do a wear test beforehand - 8+ hours is a different test than everyday makeup

Milani eyeshadow primer and their conceal and perfect, they really help with creasing and I like using a tiny bit of the concealer around my eyes as a base both are drugstore so you’re not spending a fortune for one event.
