Affordable

So I was given this primer to try out from a friend and I must admit I actually like it! A little goes a long way (it is more of a slicker formula) I would recommend not taking the doe foot applicator and rubbing it all over the eyelids but do rub a little on your ring finger and apply it that way. Before I apply my eye shadow I do have to rub it out one more time as it creases in my lids but as for staying power and brightness of the eye shadows it defiantly does the trick! I still love my go to ELF eyelid primer but as a back up this is great to have in your collection :)

Nice Primer

I really like this primer. I put it on this morning and my shadow is still looking good! I even took a nap and it stayed on nice. :) It's easy to apply and it made the color of the shadow stand out a bit.

Ugh not anything like the NYX base in the jars

I use the NYX base in the jars and I love that, and it lasted through many many many applications but I am beginning to get to the point I am running a little low, so I bought a tube of this because I thought the benefit of having an applicator (the little jars don't) was worth paying a little bit more its like $1 and change difference in price. I hated it. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FORMULA- The feeling is much more fluid than the jars and it has a very greasy feel it is sticky and hard to apply shadow over it, and it gets all in my eye shadow brushes. I will definitely go back to the product in the jars.

This product is awesome. Not only does it make my eye shadow "pop" but it also makes it last all day. Usually my eyeshadow tends to clump and rub out by the end of the day. This primer makes the color last all day. The only downside is that it takes a while to dry but I use it before it dries anyway. I bought it at the beauty supply store for maybe $6 or $7. Very inexpensive!!!! I would definitely recommend this product!

Better than Urban Decay

This hasn't creased on me and I use it every time I put on eyeshadow (which is frequently) I don't put on eye makeup unless I'm using this product. However, I found that if I put a lot of primer on my eye, I noticed it take a while for the primer to dry/set so I can start applying shadow etc. So, what I did was, I put just a little and I found that a little goes a long way with this too. A little can cover my entire lid and it takes less time to dry/set. Very satisfied with this product.

Better than UDPP for me!

I have oily lids and everything has creased for me whether it be the Urban Decay Primer Potion or the normal NYX eyeshadow base. But this is amazing, it comes with a doe-foot applicator, which pulls out just enough for me. It's very similar to the Urban Decay Primer Potion, it comes in this "universal" shade that blends into transparent basically and the consistency a little thicker than the primer potion. I use this product everyday and I just love it. I'm definitely going to repurchase. One thing to not is that there can be some product buildup around the cap area which can get messy if not careful.

I absolutely love this product. It does not crease at all! It makes the eyeshadow stay and you never have to reapply it. I usually have a hard time applying makeup because it creases or becomes dull. This eyeshadow base eliminates all of the problems I had before using the NYX Cosmetics HD Eyeshadow Base.

For the price that you are paying, I must say I am impressed. I didn't expect a lot from this eyeshadow primer, but turns out I am loving this product. Am I going to repurchase this? Yes.

Amazing Quality!

I've never used any expensive eye shadow primer like the one from Urban Decay or Paint Pot, but why would I when I have this? I got this for maybe $3 at Ulta online, maybe a little more than 3? I typically have slightly oily eyelids, so my eye shadow would always crease in the middle of the day, so I would have to reapply it. But not with this! Not only does this keep it perfect all day, even in the central Florida humid weather, but it even makes the colors POP! I did a simple test at home on a day I knew I wasn't going to go anyways, and I put NYX HD Eye Shadow Base and eye shadow on one side, and just eye shadow on the other, and I noticed a difference right away! He side with the primer looked more bright and shimmery, while the other side did not. I went through the whole day and even took a nap for a while, (I know it’s a no-no to sleep with make-up on, but I was just very sleepy!) and when I woke up, the side with primer was still fine while the other was not. This primer is amazing! It even makes my eye liner and mascara last a lot longer! It uses a wand applicator, put I usually just do a dot or 2 on my eyes and then rub it in with my fingers, and it’s more of a very like tanish color than a white. A must have!

Great Quality

This base can make even the cheapest of eye shadows really pop and last for hours upon hours. Really cheap! Only costs around 6 dollars. No creasing. A must have.
