I love paint pots for priming. I have UDPP but I find I just cnt blend my eyeshadows as well as I like when I use this.

I like Urban Decay Primer Potion. You can't buy it in stores in Australia (that I've seen) but it's on ebay and smartpoppy.com.au. It gives a great surface and colours really glide on beautifully.

I have tried Mac's Paints and although the colours are nice, they crease up on me! And my eyeshadows are not that bright looking!

Ever since I tried Urban Decay Primer Potion, I have not gone back to Mac's Paint! It goes on clear, and gives me no creases watsoever AND my eyeshadows look great! Its awesome! I say go to Sephora, ask them for a sample and try it urself!

I have good luck with paint pots. My shadow lasts for 16 hours+ with minimal fading and no creasing. I don't have a problem with oily lids, though. Some of my matte shadows were creasing without a base and this solved it. I like Painterly because it doesn't have shimmer and I can use it with close to anything.

... Painterly might be a m/u item I actually use up ... haha

My favorite eyeshadow primer is UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion).

UDPP, as long as it's not abused. Use too much and my eyes wrinkle much. A little goes a long way!

I've used Mary Kays eye shadow primer for as long as they've had it. Before that I used concealer on my lids and set it with powder. That still works when I forget my e/s/p when traveling, although I much prefer having my e/s/p. I did try UDPP... I didn't really see a difference as far as staying power but I did notice the "blending" issue that has been mentioned. I'll just keep my tube of MK e/s/p.

i just love too faced shadow insurance, although it sometimes separates a little and you have to shake it to even out the formula, but the packaging is great

I currently use UDPP...it works wondersss. My eyeshadow doesn't creasee & the colors stay vibrant and last!! The only thing I don't like too much about it is the packaging, the bottle is cute...but it's such a hassle to cut open since A LOT of the product gets stuck inside. =[

I've been meaning to try out too faced shadow insurance, i just haven't had a chance too. but i've heard good reveiws about that too. =]

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
And the fab Tan Ray Paint...RIP...lol I don't use it as much because I need to remember to pick a backup up at the CCO. I always forget, but when I go to reach for it i'm like

mac paint pot

hmm, i use a couple different primers for different purposes.
if i'm wearing a mac paint or paint pot, or cream colour base..i always put UDPP underneath OR too faced shadow insurance..
i just recently picked up shadow insurance and i LOVE it, i find it's similar to UDPP but it blends a LITTLE easier and of course, you don't have to cut open the tube to get your moneys worth... so personally i'd say too faced shadow insurance, or of course, a mac paint or paint pot..
i.e; mac paint in stilife or mac painterly or barestudy paint pot...

[sorry for the LONG reply]
