UDPP rocks and all...but i'm allergic to it!

[eowyn797]

so i have an allergy to Urban Decay Primer Potion. makes my eyelids itchy, red and rashy LIKE WHOA. MAC paints & CCBs have this same effect.

Shadesticks only last a couple hours before creasing and Mary Kay Primer does the same...i get three hours tops before the dreaded crease sets in...

second best guesses anyone? i have very oily eyelids.

thanks so much for any help you guys can give because this just sucks! i'm glad i'm not working tomorrow because there's no way i can put eyeshadow over this inflamation

I don't know if they sell it in the states but Artdeco makes the best eyeshadow base, imo.

Loose powder on my lids usually works decently.

^ I agree. My eyelids are very oily as well and on days when I feel like keeping it simple I use Mac's Blot Powder on my eyelids to help absorb the oil and it really works for me.

HTH and good luck!

It's a powder from MAC made to absorb oil. They have it in a compact or loose powder and have a few different shades to choose from. I loveee this stuff! I have oily skin and it woks wonders for me! This is the only thing I put on my face cause I hate the cakey feeling. Blot powder is really light and sheer.

i still want to try the Blot Powder everyone recommended, but i did procure myself some ArtDeco Eyshadow Base and THIS STUFF IS THE BEST! as an added bonus i am not at all in any way whatsoever allergic to it. it actually seems to calm my eyes down if they're itchy at all!

thank you guys for all your help. i really appreciate it
