My eyeshadow seems to fade away after an hour or two every time I use it. I'm not sure what brand it is, but I know its not a big brand name like mac, anyways, is there any tips or tricks to making it last longer? It would be a shame if another great smokey eye would fade away:(

You could use elf's primer. I use it, and in my opinion, it lasts a long time. Yesterday, I forgot to put it on, and I noticed some major creasing.. when I do use it, I haven't noticed any.. so I think that's a good sign? Haha

I just put a little extra foundation on my eyes and it seems to make my eye shadow last longer.

You could try Urban Decay primer potion, or maybe if you want to invest in a MAC paint pot.. That may work too. You could try maybelline color tattoos as a cheaper alternative. They have so many colors for just about any look.

Try using a very tacky primer. I really like the primer by Smashbox. The paint pots by MAC are also great. But if your eyeshadows aren't good quality, you'll be just wasting your money. It's better to invest money in good quality eyeshadows in the long run. Urban Decay makes really nice, creamy and pigmented shadows :)

You also could use the new type of eyeshadow, it's like a cream that stays on forever which you could use regular eyeshadow also but eye studio (I think) make this and has all different colors
