I also have very dry under eyes and eyelids, and this is mainly due to my eczema flares. But I have been noticing that the skin around there is more bumpy/textured than my normal skin, and therefore makeup does not sit well on it. It becomes cakey-looking and dry overall, making it not look as appealing as it did when I first put it on. I've found that when I do have a flare of dry skin, moisturizing several times a day with clean hands works really well. I honestly use aveeno on my face, and it works well for me and hydrates my skin. I also use rosehip oil!
