How long does eyeshadow typically wear for you? Is that long enough?

It lasts around eight hours decently – that means a bit of fading or signs of wear but not to the casual viewer. I would definitely use a primer if I planned to leave the house as I prefer better wear overall. — Christine Join Discussion source https://www.temptalia.com/how-long-does-eyeshadow-typically-wear-for-you-is-that-long-enough/

Do you prefer translucent or colored eyeshadow primers/bases?

I prefer translucent because most of the eyeshadows I reach for are pigmented enough that I don’t need a colored primer to boost, and I definitely find translucent primers easier to build on top of than colored bases, which are often thicker. — Christine Join Discussion source https://www.temptalia.com/do-you-prefer-translucent-or-colored-eyeshadow-primers-bases/
