Beauty Q: How to make eye make-up stay on, and revive greasy or limp hair

I'm 23 and I have a tear duct problem with my right eye. It causes tears to involuntarily seep out from the eye at random. I also have a pair of inner double eyelids (it is more than half). Combined with the tear duct issue, this causes the inner folds of my right eye to be very oily when I apply eye make-up. As such, it dissolves whatever make-up I put on, be it primer, powder, waterproof eyeliner or so-called oil-proof eyeshadow. It’s the same even with the more expensive brands, despite claims that they can resist oil. 

I’m at my wit's end. Usually, the make-up at the inner folds of the right eye tends to dissolve after 10 minutes, leaving my eyelid feeling sticky and highly uncomfortable, especially when I blink. I feel like wiping off the dissolved part, but this ruins the rest of the make-up. I become frustrated and end up redoing it, only to have the process repeat itself. I try to dab at the inner corner of the eye constantly when I have make-up on to absorb the tears, but it doesn’t seem to help either. – Alice
