What Can I Use On My Eyes To Make Eyeshadow Last Longer?

[Treacle71]

After 2-3 hours of putting on eyeshadow it comes off and all you can see is mascara left. You'd never think I had any on in the first place.

As I'm a guy, rapidly approaching the age of 70, you'll probably be unsurprised that I'm no expert when it comes to eyeshadow. (However, anything goes these days. Maybe I'll give it a try!)

That nice Mr Google though tells me that there are different types of eyeshadow:

So, if you've been sticking with the powder, perhaps it's time to try a different sort? With that in mind, this Cosmo link might be relevant:

I can't say I've had that problem. I use powder.

Use powder, or a primer

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion.
I've been using it for about 10 years and it was a miracle product when I first tried it. Oily eyelids meant makeup didn't last...powder, cream...any kind. It's pricey, but the travel size lasts ages. Can probably be found cheaper on eBay...I've got it there a few times.

if you go onto The tik n tok they will show you how to keep your shadow on - try primer,concealer, powder then shadow then set it with a water spray

I was having the same problem, Treacle but I've recently tried Maybelline Tattoo Eyeshadow. I'm really happy with it as it's still there when it's time to remove it.
Mixed reviews if you look but my ageing eyes are happy with it.

That sounds like too much hassle Rh.
