Use a makeup setting spray called Model in a Bottle. Just spray this on after you've applied all of your makeup for long lasting all day wear. It also helps to apply a powder primer base before eye shadow/foundation application. Use Mattify Loose Powder to absorb excess oil and help cosmetics bond to your skin for longer wear.
