My biggest makeup struggle is I always end up with black under my eyes after about 2 hours. Even if I'm not wearing eyeliner, and I'm wearing waterproof mascara. My face just does not like to keep makeup on itself.

I used to struggle so much with eyeliner transferring onto the hood of my eye (#HoodedEyeProblems) and no matter liner I used and no matter what I did, priming, setting the primer, setting the liner, it would ALWAYS transfer. I had completely given up on liner until last month when I decided to try out the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner and it's literally the only liner I've ever used that doesn't transfer to the hood of my eye and it lasts all day long (as the name implies). So to all my hooded eyed friends out there, try out the Stila liner. You can thank me later.

Hi Karima! I am a Long time admirer of your mad makeup skills and viewer of your videos! Thanks for this video, the issues with eye makeup can be such a struggle, especially eyeliner and all these tips are so helpful. I literally have all the eyeliner ailments you mentioned so you really helped me with this video. All us winged eyeliner wearers will be sending you love!

Lately, my biggest makeup struggle has been my dry, flaky patches AND oily skin. They both just happen all over my face and sometimes in the same area, so I'll be greasy, cakey, and flaky all in one spot. No foundation, powder, primer, ANYTHING seems to be helping that lately - hence, I've been going without any of that all together :)

I‘ve been thinking about this problem for the longest time and clicked on this so fast haha! Literally never had an eyeliner or mascara that doesn't smudge on me. Hooded eyelid+oily complexion problem. But these tricks definitely do help!

I second the next tips vid about picking colours to suit skintone! Maybe a collab idea with other beauty youtubers?

This video is exactly what I NEED! Best tip was putting primer under the eye and on the outer part of the eye, I never did that and here I am wondering why it's smudging UNDER my eye. Duh! Thank you SO much for this video, ridiculously helpful!

one of the most helpful videos EVER. thank you for always being so insightful.

This is so helpful!! Can't wait to try it. I think the full application of primer and setting with powder is really going to do the trick! THANKS

Love this! I'm one with watery tearducts, and sometimes I do just give up and avoid using eyeliner in the middle third of my eye. My number one makeup struggle is my foundation caking and rubbing off on the bridge of my nose where my glasses sit.

loving the idea of a miniseries! my biggest make up struggle is definitely getting enough coverage with my foundation without it getting cakey once I apply powder and my foundation wearing off around the chin and nose throughout the day... I feel like I've tried everything from changing my skincare, to not using powder, to primers... it's a struggle for sure

my worst makeup struggle is that my base makeup doesn't stay on those crusty blemishes that i try to conceal

THANK YOU!! I have extremely hooded eyes, and using the setting method and priming method has actually helped a lot with transferring and smudging. So, thank you!

Your video production is flawless 👏🏼

yesssss this was so helpful! I'm an eyeliner girl and I always prime my eyelids and around, don't put eyeliner in the inner thirds, set my eyeliner, and just recently started powdering around the eye area. BUT, I still have a few struggles. I could NEVER find a good eyeliner for the waterline. tried a few gel eyeliners, urban decay's, rimmel scandaleyes, maybeline masterdrama, etc, and I've just accepted that black on the waterline doesn't work for me, which is such a shame because smokey lower lashlines can be so sultry! as another tip/problem, I sometimes notice little bits of eyeliner flaking off and then leaving smears on my face due to oiliness throughout the day, which can be pretty embarrassing. this is usually a hint that the eyeliner is drying out!

Thank you for this video, it's the one thing that really messes with my makeup routine. I own so many eyeliners and am currently using a Mac one that still smudges. Can't wait to try these tips, thank you!

Its important to note that setting under the eye with any powder is not recommended if you are getting age related creasing as it amplifies the wrinkles.

SHRIEK thank you soooooo much for making this vid! The struggle is real! My biggest problem is not wee pines/watering at the inner corner, but at the outer corner, and always the left eye, sometimes both. Not a single liner I have tried has been able to withstand the tears, and it's INCREDIBLY frustrating to have a big black blob above my eye and no wing on one side by the time I get to work. Grrrrrrr!!! I'm going to try your tips on priming & setting again, and see if they help...love you. That lippie suits you so well, btw.

This video was highly helpful! I can't wait to test these tips. thank you!!!

My biggest makeup struggle (aside from the ones you mentioned here...weepy eyes/tearduct mess...holla!) is with my eyeshadow. I have hooded lids and, typically, by lunchtime my eyeshadow is just a mottled, splotchy, all-blended-into-one-shade mess. I've tried so many different primers (including the one you used in this video) but haven't tried setting the primer. That may be the missing step I've been looking for, but I was wondering if you had any primer recommendations specifically for hooded lids since that does bring an added degree of difficulty to the whole smudge prevention thing. Thanks!!

Not sure where you live and if you can get it, but I've heard that the Wet n Wild Fergie one is good for hooded and/or oily lids. A lot of people think it's better than the Nars Pro Prime which is a popular one. And it's super affordable too!

Thank you for awesome tips. I learn something new, as always. Creasing or disappearing my undereye concealer is my big struggle. I can´t set it with a powder because my undereye area is too dry and powder always shows all my wrinkles there.

Hi Karima, what a great idea for a series. My biggest struggle is colour correction - either on rosacea or on blemishes. I've tried using green-hued concealers underneath my foundation/normal concealer and the area always ends up looking really ashy (or dead!).

I'm horrible at using eyeliner, because I just can't get the line right. Maybe it's the shape of my eye, I don't know. Eyeliner, specifically cat eye just doesn't suit me. But my biggest struggle is actually with mascara. I can't use waterproof mascara, so I have to do with a regular one. The thing is no matter what mascara I use, every time I use it on my lower lashes and then go outside (which I do, because I don't wear makeup at home :D), my eyes just get very watery (is that a word?) and my mascara smudges every time in the outer corners of my eyes. If I go outside and don't have mascara on, my eyes act normal, but with mascara on... horrible. I really enjoy your videos, Karima!

As usual great tips and tricks, thanks a lot Makeup struggle: creasing concealer (sigh) powdering too much highlights fine lines and gives a "cakey" look...

My biggest struggle is making sure my eyeshadow does not fade. Everything else on my face hangs tough, but my eyeshadow fades and all my placement/blending turns into one smoosh of a collection of all the colors I have placed on my eyes. Keep in mind I prime and set my eyes first, and still I get the Big Fade.

Great tips Karima. My struggles are dark under eyes and finding a concealer pigmented enough to attempt to cover them but without major creasing and my lipstick not lasting...I've tried the whole filling lips in first with liner, blotting, translucent powder then reapplying but within minutes it's all off again! So annoying!
