Need a new eyeshadow base - on a budget.

Hello hello!

I'm almost out of my trusty Lancôme eyeshadow base and I really need a new one (my oily lids make it a necessity!).

The point is I sadly can't afford to repurchase the Lancôme base :( Do you have suggestions that works and won't just crease on me??

What's your actual price range? I tend to use Urban Decay because it works for me, I need next to nothing to do both eyes and therefore go through a tube of it incredibly slowly.

What other primers have you tried, and what do you like so much about the Aquatique? That kind of info can help us suggest products with similar features, so to speak =)

NYX has many eyeshadow bases/primers! They all keep eyeshadow put and keeps them vibrant all day.

I tried the tarte one and it was good but dried out fast. I am now using the loreal million lashes base and its amazingggg and much cheaper.

The only primer that truly keeps me crease free all night is the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I've tried so many others that always creased up but this one holds my eye makeup in place all night.

I don't have oily lids but I like too faced shadow insurance and wet wild primer I can use them interchangeably without any difference for me.

is there a difference between primer and base?

if so I have no suggestions for a base I'm sorry

I really like the milani eye shadow primer. I have oily lids and this primer keeps my shadows from creasing.

Omg I totally got this wrong... I read eyelashes so I suggested eyelash primers LOL oops.

Milani. it's ridiculously cheap and works just as good as urban decay or too daced.

Wow thanks for all the idea! my price range is non existent haha so the cheaper the better buy I still want, something that works!
What I like about the Lancome: it neutralize the redness on my lid, doesn't stay sticky, makes sure my shadows don't crease (even if I use creamy shadows) and keeps them vibrant all day!
I'll look into the NYX ones, but since there are a few, do you recommend one in particular?
Tarte, Too faced and UD are sadly out of my budget and I don't have Milani here, is there a place I can buy this brand online??

I love using the maybelline instant age rewind concealer as an eyeshadow base!

I like ELF eye primer- the in a tube with doe foot applicator. It looks like a lip gloss tube (for reference). I love Nars primer but it has a steep price tag. I use the elf when I run out of my Nars and it's comparable.
