When you're cheap like me, you won't find any complaints with this product... other than they aren't selling it anymore. You're lucky if you can still find it on clearance! Anyway, my review..
I just apply this to my lids all over (I use my fingers to smooth it out) and make sure I blend it and smooth it out well. I say this because it is pink and shimmery; if you don't smooth it out, it will just look like pink eyeshadow, especially if you use too much! (By the way, it makes an awesome pink shimmer eyeshadow that lasts all day if you want to use it by itself.) On your lids, it will look pinkish, but once you apply your eyeshadow, you won't notice. I recommend applying a neutral, close-to-your-skin colored eyeshadow to cover up any excessive pinkness. Then apply your shadow as usual. And voila! You have beautiful eyelids with colors that are vibrant and will last all day!
This product is really a steal for $3.99, considering what it does. I've used UDPP and I personally prefer the Cupcake Cult primer. UDPP did make my shadows last somewhat, but the colors were dull by the end of the day. With the Cupcake Cult primer, my colors were vibrant from when I put them on at 6am until 9pm when I washed my makeup off. The only thing about the cupcake primer is that after a long day, you might notice a little creasing, but not much. Not enough to ruin your look! When I notice creasing, I just smooth it out with my finger. Tada! Its good as new. =) It just works better for my skin.
Now, its time to show this stuff in action. Below are photos I have taken throughout the day to show how well the primer works for me!
first applied at 9am
much later, at 8pm
into the early morning at 1am
