Try applying mascara to your upper lashes only, and forgetting about lower lashes entirely. Works like a charm! Also works well to sort of 'lift' your eyes a bit.
editing to add: Lancome brand Effacernes concealer makes the best 'primer' for eyes - no oily-ness and you don't need a separate eye primer. I used to use the Urban Decay brand Eye Potion Primer - but have found that this Lancome concealer does a much better job and does double/triple duty as a concealer in other areas as well. In any case, the Lancome Effacernes concealer will stop the oily-ness and help your eye makeup stay *on*.

You can apply this to the lids and under eye area. Makeup will stay in place. That said, might want to try mascara on upper lashes only - same with eyeliner too. Leave lower lashes bare. Your eyes will appear brighter.
editing to add: this concealer might seem expensive at first, but a little tube will last forever.
