Urban Decay Primer Potion is my fave. I also like Paula Dorf eye primer.

I use Mary Kay's signature primer. As much as I truly despise MK, I really do love this stuff because it dries clear and doesn't alter the color of my shadows.

I did a side-by-side with PP on one eye and Lumene on the other, and the lasting power was virtually identical. However, I haven't subjected Lumene to the swim test. One day I went swimming with PP on both eyes as well as WP mascara, finished swimming and went home, and shadow and mascara were still intact! If Lumene holds up that well, it will be my new HG eye primer :-)

I have been having problems with fading/creasing eyeshadows and was looking into getting a primer. What do you guys think is the best one? I was planning on getting the MAC one but wanted opinions on others. Should I get a shade that matches my lid, or slightly lighter? And final question, for those of you who use the MAC primer, how long has it lasted you? Thanks ladies (and gents!)!

i like Benefit Lemon Aid or MAC paint in Bare Canvas.

I second MAC's Bare Canvas paint. It's super light beige, so it depends on your skincolor. I like getting one close to my skincolor so I can use it with all my shadows.

MAC's eye primer worked great on me when a makeup artist applied it on me. but then a friend told me about urban decay's primer potion- trust me, that is the best eye shadow primer out there- no fading, no creases, just beautiful eyeshawdow that stays put all day!!!!

Urban Decay Primer Potion is the BEST thing I've ever used.

A very very close second is MAC paint in Bare Canvas.

I like UD's Primer Potion too. Another good one is Paula Dorf's eye primer. I've used both, and they help my eyeshadows last a full work day and then some.

Get Urban Decay Primer Potion then whatever paint/ shadestick/ fluidline/ whatever that you want to use. It makes stuff seriously last forever plus it basically has no color so you can use it with everything - I even just use it by itself when I do powder/ mascara only since I have the greasiest eyelids in the world and even powder creases.

Mary Kay makes an OK primer. I like the MAC primer, but you have to apply it thinly and let it "set". UD makes the best primer!

i use stiffle paint- that's quite a good base for eyeshadows but can be messy...

UD Primer Potion is best eye shadow primer I've ever used. Lancome's Colour Dose also wasn't bad. Unfortunately the MAC products didn't quite work for me here.

I just got UDPP and it's amazing!

LunaY · 10-16-2005, 12:31 PM #40 (**permalink**)

Wow so many great reviews for UD. I went to UD.com and Sephora.com and both were OUT! Now I'm fixated on having it. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

As other ladies have stated, Urban Decay's Primer Potion is the BEST eyeshadow primer. I used to really like Benefit FYEye but UD's is so much better. Even the cheapest eyeshadows don't budge when I used Primer Potion.

i love MAC's Bare Canvas paint. it's a nude color with no shimmer...if you want something shimmery, then get Stilife paint.

i also recommend Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

Well I went on a wild goose chase to find UDPP yesterday, every website was out and Sephora stores were out too. To spare myself from paying double on eBay, I heard the Lumene Eye Makeup Base from CVS was just as good for many people, except those with extremely oily lids, and even they liked it up until 7+ hours or so.

L'Oreal has one that's good, but I agree with the MAC Paint & there's several great neutral colors there, Bare Canvas, Stillife, and another one similar to Stillife that I can't remember now!
