I also have oily eyelids. I've had great results with UDPP. I work all day as a manicurist, sometimes sweating and my eyeshadow looks the same at 10pm as it did at 8am. So, thumbs up to that one...

I bought a Paint from my CCO and tried it for the first time a couple days ago. Worked like a charm. Thumbs up, also.

ditto on UDPP AND your es lasting ALL DAY LONG.

I have super oily eyelids and until I discovered UDPP, i could not wear shadow w/o it severly creasing on me.

I use cream color bases (Shell, Pearl, Mid-tone sepia, bronze, etc.) for smooth eye shadow application. But UDPP by itself may be enough of a base for you. You don't have to use the two to stop the creasing. I just prefer using the CCBs as a base. I've also used paints and shadesticks after I've applied the UDPP.

But, I ALWAYS use UDPP -- wouldn't be able to wear ES w/o it.

CCB's = cream color bases. :]

 

[Hawkeye]

CCB's are worthless pieces of crap for primers on the eyelids (yeah im gonna get flack for that but
ANYWAY
MAC Paints I swear by them. UDPP Dried out my eyelids horrendously. I just use a very very very small amount of paints, wait a second or so and then I use a wash over it (Like MAC Shroom)and that helps out a lot to not let it crease.

I have oily eyelids and what I find that really helps is swiping my lids with a toner-soaked cotton pad before applying my base (I use paints) and it works great! It somehow absorbs the oils and since I put the paint on immediately it doesn't have time to crease.

 

[ebonyannette]

I prefer UDPP as well, its the only thing that works for me. Paints crease on me too. Sometimes I put them over my base to help brighten my eyeshadow.

ahh! i totally know what you mean about the CCB, i was so excited to use this as a base when i bought mine from the store. the artist actually suggested it to me and said it would work for all eyelids. and i did, which sucked. definetly NOT worth $16.

I have oily lids and like shadesticks and paints. Shadesticks because they are so easy to apply, paints b/c they last even longer than shadesticks! Mac prep +prime for eyes sucks! Have not tried UDPP yet.

 

[duch3ss25]

I have very oily lids and I found that using UDPP then shadestick create crease-less shadows all the day long! I swear by this. I also use CCB's but at extremely small amount and only right below my browbone or very close to lashline. HTH!

 

[amoona]

I don't use CCBs on my lids because they do crease I usually use my CCB as a highlight on my cheeks. I used to use Shadesticks but I decided to try paints because of all the rave. I have had a problem with some shadestick colors ... like Shark Skin ... but o Beig-in never gave me a problem. Now I'm using Bare Canvas paint and it works fine, sometimes if I'm using pigments I'll put a thin layer of CCB over the paint.

I did buy UDPP but I wasn't impressed. It doesn't crease but it doesn't hold pigments and it does nothing to intensify color. I just ran out of my UDPP but I'll probably never buy another bottle.

 

[MiCHiE]

The only thing I've found that holds pigments and gives you vibrant color is Mixing Medium.

For a base I highly recommend Urban Decay Primer Potion. Go get it now.
