I once did this with a new UDPP to save hassle with the applicator etc, I prefer jars. But it dried out in like a week. I do not recommend this until its on its last legs.

Maybe that's painstakingly obvious for most though.

A lot of people have said theirs dried out which is odd as I depotted mine when I had tonnes left in it (ie it wasn't on its last legs) and it hasn't dried out on me at all. I put it into an old face cream jar and it's stayed the same for me, it dried out a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiny bit but I didn't notice until I was being really fussy with it.

I quite like Painterly as a base, it acts as an excellent "eyeshadow brightener"

UDPP!!! I just wish it came in better packaging

I use Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance! Not only does it prevent creasing, but it makes my shadows last ALL DAY! A few nights I feel asleep in my makeup (I know, I know, big no-no!) and the next morning, woke up and my EOTD was still perfect!

My UDPP has started doing something very very strange to my eyemakeup... I'm not sure wtf I'm doing ;/ I use quite a lot of Fluidliner in my eyemakeup, and after about an hour of wear it just... cracks off o_o;;; any help??

Truthfully, I don't usually use a primer but I really need to start. I hate it when eyeshadow gets under my eyes. One of my friends SWEARS by Urban Decay primer though, and she's an expert

Hope this helps!

Too Faced.

I got a sample of UDPP but I'm almost scared to use it because Too Faced is sooo awesome.

Hi!

I discovered the Mac paint pots, and I love them as a primer

(I'm a new be with the Mac products)
they are great!

Too faced, used to use UDPP but it dies out incredibly quickly, that plus the packagin = not worth it at all IMO.

I would not recommend UDPP to anyone who has ever had any sort of sensitivity to makeup. I had a terrible allergic reaction to UDPP and I do not have very sensitive skin. Something in the UDPP made my eyes swell up so much that I could barely open my eyes for several days. My doctor actually had to prescribe me steroids to reduce the swelling! I could not wear any makeup near my eyes for over a week.

I do, however, use and love Mac's CCBs for shadow primer. I personally use Pearl. Nights that I have fallen asleep without taking my eye makeup off, I have woken up the next morning to near perfect eye makeup.

UDPP, But I want to try the Too Faced, just because I'm curious.

 

[sherby2722]

I love UDPP i jus wish it came in better packaging

 

[brihel769]

Two Faced Shadow Insurance is awesome, plus you get more product then UDPP.

 

[SmartnSexy2]

I use Mac Paint in Bamboom...

 

[Lauren1981]

i'm addicted to udpp. i'm using sin right now and have slowly come to love it but i still think i like the original better. and i agree with an earlier post; just wish the packaging was better

Yeah it dried on mine

Right now, I am using Elizabeth Arden Eye Primer and MAC Prep+Prime.
I still haven't seen a good e/s primer as good as UDPP.

I have to use TFSI and EL double wear shadow creme (something like paintpots) because everything creases on me really easily

But EL is awesome. I have 2 shades and want more. They are the best.

 

[Vixxen]

too faced shadow insurance! i like this so much better than udpp

 

[christinebezans]

Painterly paint pot, i have tried everything once trying this i will never go back, great base

Urban Decay Primer Potion.

I've got oily lids, and this keeps my shadows and liner from creasing, fading or smudging througout the day.

I just really really wish that they changed the packaging.

But here's a trick before you cut it open:
When you feel like you're running out, use a pair of scissors or tweezers, and tweeze off that top clear-ish plastic rim. Sure, that's the thing that squeezes all the excess primer off the wand when you pull it out, but once you get rid of that thing, you get access to much more of the product so that when you open it up, there isn't as much and it won't dry out as fast!
