I am really in the market for a new eyeshadow primer/base and a good setting powder for my makeup.
As far as eyeshadow primer, I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion. No longer of fan of it, considering trying out MAC Paint pots if anyone has any reviews on them.
For setting powder, it has to have a tint (can't be translucent) and MUST be long lasting. I need my makeup to be set and last from 5:30am to around 10pm with minimal touch ups. Thank you!

As far as drugstore, my favorite primer for the eye is Maybellines eye tattoo pots in Barely Branded. It's a gorgeous sandy beige with some sheen to it. When I wear it under shadow, I swear it could last for years! I love love love it. And cheap, hello!
For a setting powder I've been loving the Kardashian (If that's how you spell it?) Khroma pressed powder. It's an absolute match to my skin and works so well sometimes I don't even wear a foundation. And it smells good! Was skeptical about their line, but I'm loving everything so far.
For higher end, I love love Too Faced shadow insurance. Used it yesterday, slept in my makeup (I know I know.. shhhh!), and it looks like I still just did my eyeshadow. Impressive! I only use a tiny tiny amount as well, so it look like it will be cost efficient. The powder I love is a translucent, you might want to think about. It's the Make Up Forever HD powder and my god it feels like a dream. It's literally magical feeling and does wonders for setting my makeup and making it look.. Magical. Haha! Hope I helped!

Very helpful, thank you so much! I know that tattoo eye pots are really similar to the MAC Paint pots so I'll definitely check that out! And that Khroma Powder!

Too Faced Shadow assurance is my second favorite, and honestly I use MAC pots or NYX Milk pencils as a base over it.

Setting spray I love UD All Nighter spray with the Makeup Forver HD setting powder and my makeup is set from 11 am to midnight in Baltimore heat.
