My makeup, esp my eye makeup, (shadow, liner, mascara) comes off 20 minutes after I put it on. I've tried different brads, with no difference. Also I have smashbox primer and medi-matte mostiurer. Can i use the smashbox on eyes? How can I keep my mascara from disapearing?

How long do you leave between putting your moisturiser on and then your make up. May be you are not giving them enough time to "set" and therefore your skin is consuming it like your moisturiser.

another possiblity is that you are using the wrong brand for your skin type. I have found that some times when my skin is particulary dry my skin is a night mare and make up never stays and is gone within a few hours. In my opinion, our skin changes from dry to oily at different times of the year, so may be you need to look at the brands that oyu are using.

Regarding your eye make up and mascara - try benefit lemon aid prior to putting your eyeliner and make up on. I had the same problem as you until I found this little miracle in a pot. Also, It may be your mascara itself, What brand do you use? what colour also - you may just need to go a shade darker than you natural lash.

Smashbox has an awesome primer that should help but if your skin is dry, it will soak up any moisture it can get. Check to see if your moisturizer is the problem. For your eyes, I've found that MAC's paint pots are a big help in keeping the eyeshadow from disappearing. I use the color painterly, which matches my skin tone perfectly. Alls your skin might need is a good dose of hydration before you apply any color products. As for your lashes, I use invisibands false eyelashes so I do not need mascara.

I am using Laura Geller's Spackle trio. In one jar, there is separate primer for eyes, lips and face. Despite the summer humidity, my make up stays PUT, with no touch ups necessary, accept lipstick.
I recommend it highly!

I just bought this product that I have been raving to all my friends about for my eyes, because I have the same prob you do with fading. It is made by Too Faced Shadow Insurance (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P202625&searchString=Too%20Faced%20Shadow%20Insurance). My shadow at the end of the day is the exact same to the start of the day. Awesome.
