<TR><TD class=tt11 vAlign=top colSpan=3>Too many things in life are fleeting, especially in this age of disposable everything: Income, clothing, celebrities, significant others, you name it. It's about time something lasted more than half a nanosecond, especially when it's your eyeshadow. Whether it creases, cakes, or just mysteriously disappears into thin air, the odds are your shadow doesn't make it past dusk. To the rescue: Eyeshadow primer. A perennial secret of makeup artists that's finally seeping into the mainstream, primers go on underneath shadow to prevent the skin's natural oils from turning your lids into a shadow slip'n slide, while keeping the color from creasing in the process. Added Bonus: "Primers prevent shadow shade changes, so your color stays true all day," says Sandy Hawes, director of sales and marketing for Amazing Cosmetics. Now if only they had primers for boyfriends.</TD></TR><TR><TD>
