Eyeshadow Base!
When clients ask me how to make their eyeshadow last, I always recommend them to use an eyeshadow base. Using a base will not only increase the lasting power of your eyeshadow, but it will also help your eyeshadow appear more vibrant and opaque. It also helps create a nice smooth surface for your eyeshadow, and it will make blending easier as well. In my personal experience I prefer a base over a primer. My FAVORITE is MAC paint pot in "Painterly" and "Soft Ochre". These products make eyeshadow application and blending a breeze. Your eyeshadow will look so much more opaque!
You can purchace MAC paint pots from your local MAC counter, or online at www.maccosmetics.com

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
I love MSF's! This is a great product to set your face makeup with, and it looks so natural. If you need a new setting powder that isn't translucent you should try this out!

Setting Spray!
I get asked all the time how to make your makeup last longer, and my answer is always use a primer and a setting spray! Setting sprays help keep your makeup looking fresh, last all night, and prevent your makeup settling into fine lines and wrinkles. One of my favorite setting sprays has always been Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray. All you do is spray it a few times all over your face when your done with you makeup. It really makes a difference!
You can purchase Urban Decay All Nighter at Ulta, Sephora, or www.urbandecay.com
MAC Fix +
Mac Fix + is similar to a setting spray, but not quite. This is a refreshing spray. I use this during the day if my face needs to be refreshed or feels dry, it's very soothing. I use this all the time if I over powder my face and need to bring it back to life! There are so many more uses for this product, and I think it's so versatile that everyone should own it!
