I always find that eyeshadow fades after about an hour, leaving my eyes looking really messy. I use /fairly/ good quality stuff - Barry M Dazzle Dust, Urban Decay and Pop, but nothing seems to really stay.
Any tips?

Also, I could really do with something you can just get from somewhere like Boots - I've never seen anywhere that sells this Benefit stuff... is it an online/US thing?

try a creamshadow, those tend to stay longer than powder

An eyeshadow primer may help. Benefit do one called FY...eye, I've never used it myself though but do use other Benefit products.
I brush over my eyelids with a spare blusher brush (no blusher on it though) or something before applying eye make up to get rid of any grease so my eyelids are nice and matte which I find helps.

In the olden days blah blah they used to use cream eye shadow and then put the powder shadow over the top.
Dont know if thats possible to do these day as have no idea what's in the market at present.
Over done and obvious is not the way to go tho and if you're clever no-one will know u r wearing both
Good luck!!!

Never use eye shadow on it's on. it fades too fast from all the blinking we do. Use a good eye shadow base before you make up your eyes. I use Benefit's FYeye. and my shadow looks "just put on" after a 12 hour day! You can use it for any shadow form, powder, cream or pencil.

I have found that the cream eye shadows work best for me. They blend easier using your fingertip for better control and the colors stay truer. They are also easier to remove. Try Revlon. I like it, but wish they wouldn't repeat the same colors mostly in the pallets. The price is pretty decent too.

Try using Clinique Touch Base for Eyes. It helps to "set" your eye makeup. Because I have oily skin, I've tried all different types of oil controllers, bases and powders. Touch Base also helps to keep your eyeliner from smudging.
Best wishes!

Dust translucent power over your eyes once finished (before mascara though), this will help set your makeup. It can be used all over your face to help seal foundation too.

try useing a cream or what i use "touch tint for eyes" like gold to put under your eye shadow then use your normal eye shadow. it gives it a little bit of glitter and it keeps your eye shadow on longer.
i got mine from CLINIQUE its worth every penny

I have heard to put foundation on your eyelid before you put the eyeshadow on because then it has something to stick on.
