Favorite Eye shadow Primer

[Cool Kitten]

L'Oreal makes a primer called Decrease, but it's not that great and its regular price is over $7. You can probably get a MAC paint here in the sale forum for the same price.

 

[Life In Return]

I have paints, fluidlines and shadesticks

I wanted an actual thing like the UDPP... but thank you guys for the help and the link

yeah udpp works really well, and i think its only like 14 bucks? i dont remember too well, but its worth it

urban decay primer potion is only $14 or $16. save your money on the cheaper ones, and just wait until you can afford the UDPP. ulta's primer is a piece of shit, IMO, i ended up returning it, and l'oreal de-crease was similarly disappointing. it gets to a point where you waste so much money trying to find cheaper alternatives, and not succeeding, that you might as well have bought the original product in the first place. plus, UDPP lasts a loooooong time, because you use so little on each lid.

For eyeshadow primer I have found some really good, cheaper things. I like to use Almay Bright Eyes or Wet N Wild MegaEyes. They both make my shadows last all day without creasing (but I don't really have oily lids).

the NYC conceler stick

and its super cheap

u might think im crazy but i use E.L.F Shimmering Facial whip for $1. it works like wonders for me. even better than my DHC velvet skin coat.

Stilife paint

a tip from a MAC artist that has worked fabulous

UDPP and/or Tan Ray Paint

I am on my 3rd tube of urban decay primer potion. Before i started uding this stuff, my lids would be oily and seriously creased by lunchtime at work. I would have to wipe the eyeshadow off and have bare lids for the rest of the day. granted, i used cheaper eyeshadow during this time too. I would like to try something new though since there isn't too much product in the tube.

i've been using paints but would like to find something that makes the colors more vibrant.

I can't live without UDPP, if its going to be a real long day, I will put paints over the UDPP and this works well for me!

I love using bare canvas in the paints, but its not suitable for all skin tones, F.Y..EYE by Benefit Cosmetics is really good for the job, but is a little pricey

I just bought Stilife paint for a base... but find that I'm using it on my entire lid. It's beautiful. I wanted to try the UDPP, but I didn't even make it to Sephora after the MAC counter.

UDPP..hands down.

UD Primer Potion & Eyeshadows

Problem - UDPP grabs the color (I know that's what it's supposed to do

) But when I try to blend the color down it doesn't budge. (Ex. Nocturnelle used in the crease this morning and I looked like I had major purple eyes

)

Question - Is there an eyeshadow that works well as an all over to help with the blending of other (darker) colors?

My eye routine - blotting sheet swipped over eye lids (very oily), UDPP, and then eye colors (as basic as you get)


All advice and/or suggestions are ALWAYS greatly appreciated!!!

 

[User67]

I have this problem sometimes too & I use my fingers to blend colors that don't want to budge, it works much better than a brush sometimes.

 

[malvidia]

i use another e/s base (artdeco) but i have the same problem... i solved it by putting base first and then lancome color dose which is creamy and helps the blending

HTH!
