I've been OBSESSED with Two Faced Shadow Insurance! I've tried Urban Decay's Primer Potion but even with that my makeup creased terribly throughout the day. For some reason, Shadow Insurance and I are the perfect match!

I would have to say Benefit Stay don't Stray

Here are my Top 3 i use on all my clients:
Mac Paint Pot in Painterly - amazing for oily lids!
NYX HD Shadow Primer (NYX has shadow primer pots too, I use the White one for pin up clients)
Too Faced Shadow Insurance ( I just tend to use this more than UD but i do have both)

iv had that same issue and i relly like kat von ds nude primer. its super potient but your shadow will not move for sure!

I've tried Urban Decay's primer, that stuff is pretty good. I've tried the E.L.F. primer too, eh.. not as good, but you get what you pay for!

I really love Urban Decay's PP too!! But a lot of people swear by Too Faced Shadow Insurance, too! So I would try that one :)

If you can get your hands on Ruby Kisses, try their eye primer. In my opinion it works just the same as UD. & it's only $3.99.

Has anyone here tried the Lime Crime eyeshadow primer? I've heard super good things about it but I don't know.

UDPP and elf eye primers are the best in my opinion :) I've heard the elf mineral eyeshadow primer is better for oily lids :)

i like the elizabeth arden primer i purchased last summer for $5 at marshalls. I also really like the NYX hd primer. I think they both beat out the UD primer postion. My makeup always stays on because i use a primer AND a color or neutral cream base (depending upon the color the shadow). My favorites are the NYX jumbo eye pencils, la colors eye pencils, and the maybelinne color tattoos!

Urban Decay Primer Potion :)

Primer potion is pretty awesome..MAC's paint pots are comparative but the price is pretty similar.

As a makeup artist i LOVE mac paintpots as a primer! I like painterly as a skin color for pretty much everyone. It is bulletproof for all shadows. Another i have always liked was F. Y. Eye from Benefit. Never was a big fan of urban decays primer

Benefits Stay Don't Stray is the best by far for my skin.

I started out using UD but then I discovered MAC paint pots. UD is no longer my ultimate fave because the paint pots literally keep my color intact without creasing. Even in Florida humid heat my eyes look flawless for 8 hours.

I like Too Faced shadow insurance the best, and combined with Maybelle color Tattoo as a base nothing seems to move on me all day and I tend to have very oily lids too.

If I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance and MAC's Painterly Paint Pot together, my eyeshadow will stay the same and not crease for DAYS! :)
