I do this so I can see the colors in the drawer.

Man, I have UDPP and I hardly use it b/c it makes blending soooo difficult. Any suggestions t0 help fix that? I like the staying power, but hate the excess effort I have to put in. Let me know if anyone else has this problem.

you're not alone. i had the same moment when i first got it. i was like "man this stuff is nice but it's a b*tch to blend in!!"
basically all i do is just use my mac 224 brush and just brush a little more than i did when i wasn't using it or i use this little small blending brush from sonia kashuk that works pretty well. i do think it's harder to blend but with the little sonia brush i can blend a little better

it's a little harder to blend but i still love the stuff. no creasing and my e/s looks brand new all day

Try using a little bit and rub it all the way in.

i'm about 90% sure. lol!
i went and added stuff to my shopping cart and acted like i wanted to check out and one of the options for the shipping address was to put which country i was in and some of the options were europe, and the arab emerite (i think i spelled that way wrong AND said it backwards but you know what i mean

)

try it out and see what happens

i switch back and forth between mac p&p and UDPP. i've never had a creasing problem so both of them work fine for me and they both make my eyeshadow stay on longer =] i've tried the face p&p but i just hate all the glitter in it! it's always sunny out here and it looks weird when you're face is glittery at 10am!!

I have never tried the Primer by MAC but I do love the UDPP. Now, sometimes I will use a paint pot, it is similar. It just doesn't outlast the UDPP. IMO

They don't ship to internationally. I've just read it on their website...

Try Beauty Cosmetics & Fragrances : HQhair.com Hair & Skin Care Products : Hair & Beauty. I've never bought from this website before but I found them on this forum. They're shipping from the UK. HTH

I have actually put the MAC paint pots to the test vs. UDPP and MAC cannot hold up. I begin to show creases after 8 hours, but the UDPP last a lot longer.

I like UDPP but I hate the color. I'm an NC45 and it looks a little ashy on my lids. I actually use UDPP and then a paint pot on top, no problems with creasing then.

I havent tried P+P and just bought some UDPP based on all the reviews at makeupalley. but I will say that my HG for eye primers is this:

CHANEL : BASE OMBRE A PAUPIÈRES PROFESSIONAL EYE SHADOW BASE - MAKEUP

Chanel Eye shadow base in Bright. Its pricey though at $30 but omg it works wonders. Ive gone out to parties, had too much to drink, and puked my brains out, but through it all my eye makeup stays flawless! lol

I hope to replace the chanel with UDPP because of the pricey so I hope its worth all the hype.
