Once completely dry, try to remove smudges with a dry finger or q-tip first and if necessary, use a very small amount of remover/makeup wipe to the affected area. Let dry then lightly reapply makeup until it is back to normal. If you don’t have anything with you, don’t let it dry. Immediately treat your finger like a sponge and dab the area around what is missing to reblend.

If you’re going for a soft, blended look, like a smoky eye, a fluffy blending brush is your best friend. It helps you diffuse the color and create that seamless, smudged effect. On the other hand, if you’re aiming for a more intense, pigmented look, you’ll want a dense, flat brush that packs the color onto your lid. The key is matching the brush to the job. Using a fan or fluffy brush for bold color might leave you disappointed because it spreads the shadow too thinly. Similarly, trying to blend with a dense brush can make things look patchy. When you have the right tools, start with a light base color all over your lid, add a medium shade to your crease for depth, and finish with a darker shade on the outer corners for dimension. And don't forget to blend, smooth transitions are what make eyeshadow look polished.
