ITA, that's what I use. If it *ever* gets released, MAC is coming out with an eyeshadow primer as part of Prep & Prime.

MAC Paints are good, and clinique has bases that are pretty good too....

Until Prep & Prime will come out here, I use the Paint Bare Canvas, too!

Urban Decay Primer Potion is the best I've tried.

Unfortunately, it doesn't come with very much in that tube. So, I use UD's Cream e/s instead. I use Foxy & Midnight Cowboy the most. I apply a thin layer to the lid and apply any e/s over that.

Lasts all day long w/o creasing or fading!!

I agree with pnkcosmo

UD Primer Potion rocks

I also use shadesticks, depending on the color Im gonna use, or paints, or UD cream eye shadows..Or Lancome colour doses...

Gotta say I use my beloved shade sticks the most though. They're so damn pretty

I use some light foundation, then concealer where needed and a light dusting of cornstarch powder, and my shadows stay put better than any primer i've tried so far... ( i haven't tried many)

Prep and Prime is out here in England, unless they have it at the counter to test but not to buy.

I have to agree about the UD Primer Potion. It makes eyeshadows wear like iron. Great stuff!

RussianSexpot · 05-17-2005, 12:03 PM #13 (**permalink**)

Have they put a date yet on the release of prep & prime? So anxious for it to come out.....

I like UD's primer as well. But I also sometimes use mac paints or shadesticks instead. Liquid concealer can be a good shadow base, too.

On the UD primer potion if you will pull out the little plastic piece at the top of the tube you will be surprised how much more product there is in there.

devilzwind · 05-19-2005, 07:51 AM #16 (**permalink**)

i use almay amazing lasting concealer as my e/s base

calixto · 05-19-2005, 11:16 PM #17 (**permalink**)

i love the UD primer potion too, it lasts all day and doesnt crease and intensifies the colors IMO

I also like MAC Bare Canvas Paint as a e/s primer.

ive tried it all and for my oily eyelids only Lumene eyeshadow base works (and works and works and works!!!!) and shadesticks too...but I dont use those everyday
