Hi everyone! I'm really curious as to what you all think... I'm trying to help suggest just ONE to my sister, but I've only really used UD for eva, so I am not the pro on this debate. (I recently got Too Faced Shadow Insurance and immediately noticed it turned matte very well and thought it looked amazing) BTW, I have to say also, that I have the smashbox Photofinish Lid Primer and I hate it.
So.... thoughts between these 2??
THANKS!

I like the Too Faced shadow insurance better - I like the squeeze bottle better because you can get all of the product out. I don't like UD's bottle very much, I can't tell how much is left and I don't think I can get all of it out. I think they both work just as well though.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance for me. UD made my shadows harder to put on and blend.

UDPP comes in a tube now so the bottle isn't an issue anymore.
Depends on your eyelids. In my experience; TFSI's texture is dry, so it's better for oilier lids, the original UDPP is not as dry is great for dryer lids. However, UDPP in Eden is very dry and chalky, which is great for oily lids.
I can use both without seeing a difference because my lids are neither dry or oily.

Both of them are pretty good! PP works better for me because my lids are oily

Well, between the two, I'd say UD Primer Potion. But these aren't the best in my opinion. Though they're the most popular. My favorite primer is actually Lime Crime! Here's the link! ^.^ http://www.limecrimemakeup.com/products/EYESHADOW-HELPER-waterproof-eyeshadow-primer.html Seriously, I can not explain in words how amazing this formulation is! Even the packaging! I love primers in jars a lot more than in tubes or with wands because all you have to do is swipe your finger over it and put it on your lid even coverage, no mess... Yeah, this is perfection.

I have to go with too faced. I used urban religiously for a long time before I tried out shadow insurance, and now i've totally switched

For me personally, I use UDPP when my lids are more oily (summer) and TFSI when my lids are more dry (winter). For some reason that's just how it works for my skin. I know though that for both the results are very similar for shadow pigmentation and staying power. It kind of just depends on how your sister's skin is.

I've always used UDPP. The new packaging now a days is really good, and I use a little dot, so I have a lot primer left.
Although, after I finish this one, I'm going to try Too Face next. =)

For me, UDPP is perfect because my lids are oily (weird on my dry skin) and it's more of a silky finish primer. TFSI felt way too greasy on me and took too long to dry, but it all depends on your skin type. :)

I actually did a video on this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya5lmGyM-tY&feature=plcp&context=C313df65UDOEgsToPDskJRmbongzQhbe8sRhxQzwjY
Long story short... They work about the same for me. And now that they both have a squeezy tube it doesn't make a difference. Just go with the one you like the packaging for most. :)

I like Too Faced personally. Use it everyday before doing my make-up and it really keeps the shadow in place.

Wow, thank you so much everyone for these awesome responses!!! I actually did an eye "test" and wore one on each eyelid the other day. I had on dark brown eyeshadow and liner, and at the end of the day both were the EXACT same for me. And I will add to that that I had zero creasing so both were fantastic! lol!

i really do prefer shadow insurance i find it to be more moisturizing on the eye lids, when it comes to staying power and longevity of eyeshadows i find both udpp and shadow insurance do the same job but my eyelids get dry when using udpp.

I feel UDPP is too greasy and slippery. Also I find that my shadows do crease with UDPP. I like Shadow Insurance 100% better. It is matte and isn't greasy feeling. Also it keeps my eyeshadows on decently well

I felt like UDPP wasn't as good. It was okay, but I heard it wasn't good for oily lids. It still creased on me. Also don't like how i can't necessarily get all of the product out.
The Too Faced shadow insurance is defos my favorite type of primer, no creasing and amazing application. I LOVE it. and i like the tube because you can get all of the product out.
though my tube busted open so i can't use it the same .-.

I personally prefer UDPP over too faced eye shadow insurance. I have hooded double eyelid and transferring is pretty much inevitable. At the end of the day the bottom corner of my eyes would get smudged. I just find that UDPP has less smudging than shadow insurance for my eyes.

I like the texture of Too Faced Shadow Insurance, but I get much better wear time from Urban Decay Primer Potion. Also, the last time I used TFSS I had a really bad reaction. Tried it a few more times after my lids cleared up and had the same reaction, so I don't use it anymore.
My favourite though, has to be Bamboom Paint from MAC. If you can find one that works with your skin tone, I recommend it highly. Fantastic packaging and the texture is consistent. I've had the same tube (which is coming to an end) for years and it performs exactly the same as it did on the day that I got it.
