I'd return/exchange my Prep+Prime Eye, but I do not have my receipt and don't have my box. Maybe I can use it as a flying disc. Or a Mini Hockey puck. Or, possibly a jaunty mini hat of awesome.

...a large pog? Remember Pogs? OK I'm a goof.

i'm too nervous to use any of this stuff, i have milia around my eyelids from using products that were too rich for my sensitive eyes =\

i LOVE loreal decrease shadow base. i've used UDPP before and i've experienced a major caking feeling. loreal shadow base is so smooth and creamy. i LOVE it!

I think blending is a little easier with the De-Crease as compared to UDPP. I also think the UDPP seems to pick up and show off the pigmentation of the shadows a tiny bit better, but the De-Crease has worked awesome for me and I have very oily eyelids and deep creases.

im a Two-Faced Shadow Insurance convert from UDPP. and the packaging doesnt waste product!

I bought this stuff at CVS and it was buy one get one half off! I really really like it! the only thing is u have to spread around quickly before it dries. and to make sure there isnt any creases u have to pat it evenly all around and ur good!

Hi

I have this but havent tried it yet. The saleslady mentioned you have to put it on but not to blend it in so you have a layer on your eyelind. Is that correct?

i'm wondering this too. i just bought some, but the one i have is kinda dry in the tube. i don't know if it's supposed to be like that. is it?

I dunno... I tried De-Crease and it didn't stand up to my lids... UDPP (now that I don't use so much) has been working WAAAAAY better....

I'll put on the "De-Crease", and by the time I finish my face makeup, it's already "Be-Creased"... Annoys/frustrates me to the point I just use it when I'm experimenting with looks at home...

To answer KellyBean and sofabean. It's almost similar to UDPP, but like you said, drier (mine at least.) It doesn't run to the lid when you flip it over, but the shape of the bottle does let you get to the sides to get product out. Maybe you could flip it over and like whip it in the air. That may force the stuff to the lid... hmmm...

Why wouldn't you blend it in on your eye? Cuz I'm thinking if you don't blend it in, then you don't have an even application, and your eyeshadow wouldn't be fluid looking. The result could look blotchy (if that makes sense).

I've wanted to try this for the longest but I can't seem to run out of UDPP :/

Mine was drying out, so I bought a back up; THEN...I learned about the UDPP packaging outrage. So I cut it open, and guess what???

THERE'S LOADS OF PRODUCT IN THERE! I filled a whole jar with it. And I thought the damn thing was empty :/

Anyways, sorry for hijacking your thread

I think I may just go ahead and try the decrease anyway.

Thats what I thought! How much do you use? I end up with creases on my eyelid and I dont know why!

My friends in Europe are using art deco, I heard it's cheaper but I have no idea by how much. It's a German cosmetics line..

 

[NotteRequiem]

I've been using this for a month or so, and it works wonders for me. I wore my makeup for 12+ hours yesterday --- No creasing!

I just use it like UDPP is used, put some onto the lid and blend it in so there's even coverage. You don't need to overdo it (meaning use too much product) , because that will probably make more creasing occur.

I recommend this highly.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

A lil goes a longggg way folks. Its like a paint mixed with a paintpot imo. And smooth it out for an even application.

I tried the Loreal de-crease a few years ago and didn't care for it much. I remember it creased and I was like, "wtf...hence the name...".

I am the same. I wonder if they reformulated? I dont think I will try. I have a pot of udpp and a tube of too faced waiting in the wings
