Looking at your pix, I would say you def need a primer. UD Potion Primer is awesome as well as MAC's numerous primers. Paints, Shadesticks and even Fluidliners are awesome. But I'd agree with the other post that you should work with 3 e/s colors. A highlight, allover color for the lid (a lighter color than your crease), and a darker color for the crease. Good luck!
