Primer will keep makeup in place and keep it from running throughout the day.
2. Use Waterproof Liner

If your skin is a bit oily, or if you're expecting to shed a tear throughout the day, use waterproof liner to keep your makeup from smudging.
3. Further Set Your Liner with Eye Shadow

"After applying your eyeliner, take an eye shadow shade that closely matches it, and lightly apply it directly over the line."
***
Using a small angled brush, gently pat the eyeshadow on top of the liner, rather than dragging it across. This helps to seal the liner in place and prevent smudging. The powder also soaks up any oils that might cause the liner to budge, keeping your look sharp and defined all day. Opt for a matte formula which lends extra staying power; shimmer or glitter eyeshadows can alter the overall finish of your eyeliner, although they can be used for a special pop when the occasion calls for it.
4. Use Eyeliner on Your Waterline and Shadow under Your Lower Lashes

It's easier for your liner to smudge when it's on your lower lash line. That's why you should use shadow there instead.
"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."
5. Add a Finishing Powder under Your Eyes

This will "create a barrier between the makeup under your eyes and the makeup on your lids." That way, "the surface is no longer slick enough to grab onto eyeliner pigments and drag them under your eyes."
