I always pat a little foundation on my eyelids before applying eyeshadow.  It acts as a primer and stops my powder shadows going patchy and my cream shadows from creasing.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful tip. I could use some.

So that I would not be bothered at retouching every so often!

I also use foundation and apply it over my eyelids, I then apply eye shadow when I wear it as I dont too often.  I have never tried applying powder though so I may have to try that one.
