I use Urban Decay Eyshadow Primer Potion. I love it. I worked retrofit at Sephora (9pm-7am) and my eyeshadow looked just as good as it did when I put it on before work. I love it.

Bare Canvas all the way for me. I used to use Sea Me s/s when working with blues and greens and my eyeshadow would always be creased by lunchtime. But I've slept in bare canvas (not on purpose, to tired to remove my makeup one night) and my eyeshadow didn't crease until lunchtime the next day.

Urban Decay Primer Potion!
LOVE IT!
I tried MAC Bare Canvas Paint, and was really disappointed. But the Urban Decay Primer Potion works so good!
I couldn't ask for more!

ArtDeco Eyeshadow Base!!!
ArtDeco Eyeshadow Base hands down!!!!I haven't tried UDPP,but ArtDeco Eyeshadow Base keeps my eyeshadow and eyeliner in TOP condition for 8 hours and even in 10 hours my eyemakeup looks ok!I have VERY oily lids though,so having my eye makeup on in top condition for 8 hours is a miracle!And it costs only around $7-8!!
I also like its jar packaging better than the tube packaging of UDPP!

I agree with this. I use the Mac's bare canvas every day before putting on my shadow. It holds for the whole work day. I heart it...

I too am another UDPP lover!!!!
I use Bare Canvas by MAC as well, but I'll use that as my everyday primer when I'm just going to the mall or under everyday type eyeshadow.
For big occassions or when I'm applying my shadow more creatively or with greater intensity I'll use UDPP.
My personal experiment: Wearing bare canvas under one eye, then UDPP under the other eye, applying eyeshadow to both eyes (same colour/shade...think it was trax or something), then going to sleep (ewwww I know a very big NO-NO in my world but the makeup up was just on my eyes, and it was in the name of science and makeup,
). The next morning traces of the shadow applied over the MAC paint eye remained, whereas full shadow of the UDPP eye remained.
HTH!

I actually just went through the whole ordeal of trying to pick an eyeshadow primer here: http://community.livejournal.com/mac....html#comments
I ended up choosing UD Primer Potion. I hope it works out well!

I want to thank you guys! I'm so glad I found Spektra. I have never been able to get my eye shadow to stop creasing and completely wearing off about 3 hours into the day. Because of your tips I tried out the UD Primer Potion and it rocks!!!!!!
Excellent product. I may have to buy several back-ups cause I would cry if they stopped making it.

I use bare canvas.. paints as a primer for shadow, and sometimes cant help using a little concealer as a primer as well, however I don't know if this happens for everyone but the pigments in the concealer sometimes change the shadow colors especially with darker colors like carbon and club. I'd stick to paints until the official P&P primer comes..

I use Chanel eyeshadow base (Base Ombre A Paupieres) in beige and I really like it. Since it's was a gift (and a little to expensive to repeat purchase) I only use it for crazy eyeshadow days. Most other days I use my my MAC Studio Finish Conceler (NW20) like I do on the rest of my eye for conclement purposes but it kinda dries me out and makes my shadow crease. (I have dry eyelids)
My next primer purchase will be UDPP. Thanks for all the imput.

E/s Primers ?? Help!
Are there any good primers out that are inexpensive, but good quality? I know a lot of you guys use MAC and Urban Decay, but my money is limited on makeup for now... so...
LOL, any recommendations ?

i really don't know of any inexpensive brands, but when you think about it, MAC paints really aren't that pricey b/c you only need such a small amount for each application. i've had my bare canvas for over a year and a half. and until a few months ago when i got untitled it was my one and only primer. are there any cco's near you? mine always has paints and they are about $5 off regular price. also, fluidlines are amazing bases, frostlite is a great one, i love it!
sorry i wasn't much help.
i know loreal has a drugstore shadow primer but i've never tried it. you can probably check makeupalley for reviews.
good luck!

Ulta has a shadow base for 6.50 or so I think and they often have sales for the Ulta line so if you catch it when it's 50% off or BOGOF then it would only be 3.25 or so for each! I havn't tried it before though...
It's on sale for 50% off right now! Yup, 3.25 each
http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~product_id=2103200
There's also a coupon for $3.50 off a $10.00 purchase so you can either print it for instore use or use coupon code 58198 for online use. HTH!
