I need a new eyelid primer, BAD. I need something that'll resist sweat and smudges and last all day. I've tried Smashbox Photo Finish lid primer and the NARS Smudge Proof eyeshadow base. I'm thinking of getting the UD primer potion. Please help :(

I highly recommend the UD primer potion. My makeup stays on allllllllllllll day and doesn't crease or budge. It's perfect.

I also like Urban Decay. I like the EDEN version that covers discoloration too. Also like Mac Paint Pots in either PAINTERLY (cool toned) or Soft Ochre (warm toned)

I truly love the Urban Decay Primer Potion. I understand that it doesn't work for everyone, but for me it creates a nice, smooth, tacky surface for my eyeshadow to stick to, and honestly keeps my makeup on for entire days, which for me can be anywhere from 14-19 hours. I really, really love this product. I also happen to have the "professional size" which is discontinued, so I've had it for probably around 3 years now, and it still works, smells, and looks like new. It's completely fantastic.

I like the UD primer potion but more specifically if you use the UD eyeshadow then it really works well n helps all the colors stand out n easy to blend.

I have really oily lids and I actually only found the NARS one to make my eyeshadow last for ages. The UD one is still good but for me the NARS is the best I've tried.

UD Primer Potion and if you like a silky primer TFSI. I really like the LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer that comes in their shadow kits.

I use 2 MAC Paint Pots. Soft Ochre and Painterly. Serves me well! They aren't technically primers but I don't get creases no matter how long I wear my eyes, sweat resistant, easy to build on. I'm not sure if this works for everyone, probably not, but it works like magic for me.

I usually use nars but I would like to try something better, my eyelids are unusually oily for someone with normal-dry skin. That limecrime one sounds nice though, might have to check it out!

Honestly URBAN DECAY is sooooooo hyped up and it does not work well for oily lids. AFTER MANY YEARS (and I mean yearrrrsssss) of trying every brand I've finally found 2 primers that work amazingly for my oily lids. 1. Milani eyeshadow primer 2. Hardcandy 'eyes the limit' eyeshadow primer (the newest one)
These two are AMAZING! And work way better than the high end ones and are half of the price!
