I've also never tried UDPP, but I have seen a lot of posts on MUA about how drying it is, so i never bothered to try it. I've never found fy eye to be drying, but definitely helps shadows stay put better. Only problem is that it doesn't make shadows 'pop', which is why i also use a SS. I have been using fy eye now for literally a decade, because I started using it when DH and I were dating and in 10 days, we will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary!!! I can't think of any other product that I have used for that amount of time.

I tried the Artdeco primer as well, but found it really difficult to blend some of my drier shadows over it. But it did make things last and 'pop' more.

I don't like UDPP at all. I use too faced shadow insurance and I love it. When I tried urban decay, I found it was hard to blend shadows over. Shadows stick too it a bit TOO much. I even tried the shimmery colored one on it's on, but I don't care the texture and it made my lids feel heavy/dry. It's funny that I love the funky little bottle while most girls hate it. Too faced is perfect and it lasts ALL day. I will never use another primer.

And captodometer, I love that you rock the shadows with your glasses. I wear glasses, too, as you can see and I love rocking funky colors. I always read girls with glasses shouldn't wear shadow, or they should keep it neutral or whatever. I don't think that's fair. My glasses are funky so why can't my makeup be funky? Girls with glasses are hot so we should be able to wear shadow,too!

This made me laugh because I wear my glasses 90% of the time and I would never think not to wear shadow. It's too silly to even consider.

I wear glasses too and people can always see my eyeshadow behind my glasses!

 

[banana1234]

i only have to wear glasses for the tv/reading etc
but it i get a migrane i have to wear them for anything that requires concentrating
i have black and purple prada ones, i love wearing a contrasting/complimentary shade, i love my glasses

if anything i think make up under glasses should be a little more wild, cos it has to be seen under them

 

[TISH1124]

I wear my prescription glasses that have no prescription so I can look smart yet sexy when I meet with clients LOL ......Glasses are just HOT!! Just because I don't need them does not mean I can't have some too!! Same with e/s....wear what YOU like

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I don't like glasses on me so I just wear contacts all the time. Plus I hate how glasses get foggy when it's cold out...and in Canada most of the time it is, hehe!

 

[shontay07108]

I have orange and black prada frames. I need my glasses to see from a distance, but I can read books and tiny prints without them perfectly. I've thought about contacts, but my glasses feel like a part of me. I still get people noticing and commenting on my shadow.

 

[clslvr6spd]

I love wearing my Chanel eyeglasses. They are sexy...

You'd be surprised boo. Years ago when I was looking to get into makeup, I went online to learn how to apply shadow and I came across several articles saying it's not a good idea to wear shadow with glasses. Then, the ones that did recommend shadow only recommended neutral shades. I just decided to do what I wanted to do and not only did I like it, but so did MA's and people I work with. It goes right up there with women of color being told they can't wear red lips. Complete BS!

Allison, You know we are twins in that I have the e/g and the same shades in Chanel that you have ....I want a pair of Dior e/g too

yes you had them on on one of your Fotd's and I was like those are my shades!! Mine are Tortoise though ...I think yours may have been black Maybe

 

[shontay07108]

I want some Chanel frames so bad. When I get my money right, I want to find a pair. The only downside to glasses is wearing them in the winter. NJ winters are killer and there's nothing worse than stepping up on the bus and all that heat hits your glasses and fogs them up. I have to immediately take them off or risk looking crazy when I face everyone to take a seat (if I can see, that is).
