Favorite Eye shadow Primer

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

I am currently loving MAC paints, in bare canvas. I tried the Prep+Prime eye, and honestly i thought it was crap.
Unfoutunatly where i live, the closest sephora is about 3+ hours from me, and the nearest MAC is only 1 or less, so mac wins!

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

I've tried Paints, shade sticks, prep+prime, conc.,found. even creme color bases by MAC. It all depends on the look your going for. paints are the best for me but you have to work fast because when they fully dry it's harder to blend. shadesticks are a lil messy if you wanna mix it with pigments it's better for that. prep+prime can make your makeup look a lil cheap. concelar + foundations are cool like paints also. The creme color bases are good but just don't go too far up into crease when you put it on and it does fade so watch out your gonna end up having to touch up your make up. So what would I use. Mac paints what ever paint goes with your e/s.

I use MAC Prep and Prime, Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC Paint Tan Ray. My fav is Tan Ray, it is very sheer on my skin.

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

i just bought mac's eye base. the only reason i bought it was because all you girls talk about how much longer and better the e/s is with it. and i also went to the mac class in sac this past sat... and he said that its really good... [but we all know they're just trying to sell] but so far i like. no creasing in shadow so far, and the colors are more vibrant since they arent being sucked into my skin! i likey!

An eyelid primer for very humid weather?

So at the moment I'm just Bare Canvas as a base, however after some hours, my shadows will normally crease. There are a few instances where they haven't budged, but those days are one in a hundred. It also doesn't help that I have oily skin.
I have heard of the primer by Urban Decay, and I spotted one by L'oreal in a drug store...
Let me know what you'd reccommend! I want to be crease free!

Re: An eyelid primer for very humid weather?

You should definitely get the UDPP! It helped make my makeup last pretty much all day (think 6:30 am till 10 pm) and in warm weather. My eye makeup looked just as fresh as it did when I left the house. Good stuff!

Re: An eyelid primer for very humid weather?

how much Bare Canvas do you put on?

The reason I ask is because I'm in GA and that's very humid here- like horrifically humid sometimes- I've been to Hawaii and where I live it's just as humid it seems! (Or maybe I got Hawaii on a good day?) LOL

Either way- UDPP really dries my eyelids out badly, and the thing about the MAC Bare Canvas is you have to apply a VERY VERY VERY Small amount on the eyelid for it to actually act as a primer. If you apply too much it will crease but if you apply just a tiny bit it won't. It's crazy I know

Re: An eyelid primer for very humid weather?

Haha, it's quite possible.
Yep, I use a small amount of paint as well, but maybe I'll try it even lighter, hehe. I think I will check out UDPP, though. I gotta see what all the rave is all about.
Thanks so much, guys!

Don't laugh, but my favorite primer ever is Mary Kay's Triple Eye Enhancer, which is now discontinued. My eyeshadow lasts forever with this stuff

I'm not laughing at all. In fact, I'm going to dig this out and use it again!

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

For me, Urban Decay Primer Potion, but I really want to try Beige-ing shadestick!

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

I use UDPP then MAC's eye prep-n-prime on top and Im good to go...I found that using those two products in that order is best since UDPP alone make shadows hard to blend.

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

Do you need to use both - can you use prep & prime for eyes on its own as a primer?

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

I have a question, what primer would hold onto glitter the best? i mean like GLITTER! (make up not arts and crafts) hahahaha.

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

Right now it's UDPP, but I just placed an order for Senna's primer, since my eyelids get a little crepey in the corners and the UD can sometimes accentuate that. The Senna is supposed to be created just for that problem.

We'll see how it goes!

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer

UDPP! Although, I've been told Lumene's is the exact same... At least the same feel, payoff, etc. I do need to get my hands on more Shadesticks though!
