I'm looking for an eye primer that will work amazingly but won't cost me a lot of money.

I was looking at MACs paint pot. I saw many reviews on it saying it was good as a primer.

Any good suggestions?

Personally I don't like the paint pots because they don't dry clear. Urban Decay, Too Faced, Sephora, Nyx...all of them do clear-dry primers which I prefer. Nyx is cheap, as well.

Paint points are more of a base than a primer, I would recommend Lorac and NARS but they're pretty pricey, you can try the NYX Hd primer, it's actually comparable to NARS when it comes to staying power, I'll try to find the picture of the swatch, but here are a few primers. Left to right: (control, elf, urban decay, NARS, Lorac)

From left to right: Control, ELF Sheer Eyelid Primer, Wet'n'Wild, Prestige, Elf Mineral Eyeshadow Primer, NYX, Elf Eye Primer and Liner Sealer, Almay, L'Oreal, Hard Candy, Revlon, and (behind the line) LORAC.

ELF, Rimmel, and Smashbox have really good eyelid primers. I've used all 3 and highly recommend them. I've also heard good things about Urban Decay's primer too.

Urban decay...I've used it for years. it seems expensive but a tube will last a solid 9 months. You don't need a lot...just a dot on each lid. It's never let me down.

I like loreal color tattoo cream shadows in the jars. I use them all the time.
