Urban Decay Primer Potion Discussion

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

Has anyone even tried the new "design"?

Because im sick of people complaining about it lol, yeah the bottle isnt that user freindly, butthink about how much makeup youu own that you have hardly even touched and is collecting dust, to me that seems like a waste of money, not UDPP.

But thats just my 2 cents

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

The bent foot is actually helpful. It lets you get to the primer potion that is stuck to the sides and can't be reached by the non-bent foot.

I'm guessing that they will never change the bottle because the shape and color is extremely recognizable, and they might even have it trademarked. It can be design suicide to change something as recognizable as the design of the UDPP bottle, and I would think that their packaging design department knows that. I work in packaging design for a food company, and that's sort of the #1 rule of packaging design. If it sells, don't change it so much that people can't identify the new packaging. The bent foot is helpful enough to call it an improvement (it really is, don't knock it till you try it), but doesn't mess with the shape of the bottle at all.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I thought UUPP would be my favourite product ever, but after approximately a year, it has stopped working the way it used to. It creases after a few hours, when it used to stay on for more than 20 hours. What do you think is at fault? The only thing that changed from my routine is putting on eye-cream. (Clinique moisture rich) Do you think putting cream on the lids have made them oily? I've stopped using the cream on the lids, out of fear this might be the reason, but I'm afraid my lids have become incredibly oily. How can someone have such oily lids when nowhere else in my face am I oily? This is getting really frustrating. I used to be able to get away with concealer and powder, and my shadows would stay, and now not even UDPP works! And I also have Shadow Insurance and ArtDeco eyebase, but they're not as good as UDPP.

Any advice on how to go back to the lids I had last year? Why has the product stopped working on me? I want to do looks with really defined creases and I can't, because it's going to be a mess there in two hours.

I have used Clinique Moisture Rich and it could be the fact that it is too rich for your eye area that the excess oils sit on your lid and adds to the normal production of oil.

my Advice to you is, put the cream on at night and then just add your moisturizer in the morning without the eyecream. See if that makes a difference.
If you prefer still using the Moisture Rich in the morning, after you place UDPP, try putting a blottig powder or a translucent powder to absorb the oils already present so that it doesnt cause the primer to crease.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

That's a good idea, thanks! I'll try a little bit of powder after the UDPP and see how it goes. I'll also limit eye-cream to nights. (And next time I'm buying the all about eyes gel cream).

Yes, let it dry completely, or you will not get the right effect. Also, a little goes a long way. I have olive skin, and althought the UDPP is much lighter, it doesn't show up that way on me. Hope this helps.

Re: GOOD NEWS! Re: UDPP

I got a new bottle of the PP, I had finally run out! In the past, I have always taken the little plastic stopper out of the top. It was easy to do with a pair of pliers. Now, I can't get it out of the new bottle! The little stopper just tears as i try to pull it out and now it is all chewed up, but still in place. I am very frustrated with it. They changed that as well, and not for the better.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

Hi all, I have a similar question to the ones above: what order to you put everything on in? I use eye cream, foundation, concealer, and now I use UDPP--which I could not LOVE more than I do. It's one of the best beauty products I've ever bought in my life! But-- am I doing it right? I put it on after I do the rest of my routine, including concealer-- should I put it on before all of that? Is there a right or wrong way??

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

Love UDPP. I was skeptical at first. It seemed too good to be true. I'm glad I finally tried it. Been using it for over 1.5 years and couldn't be happier!

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

i finally bought my very first udpp and i dont even know how i ever lived without it!!! lol i just dread the day that i have to depott it!

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

i bought my first udpp in the summer last year so it's nearly a year old. i then got a second one at xmas because it came free with a palette (full sized not mini) so used both at once! now my first one that's a year old i thought was finally used up. and i know i'd seen loads of videos showing how much extra product was left but i thought after a year mine really must be empty. but i decided to rip the baby open anyways and oh my! i filled a whole entire mac 5gram jar with the stuff! i've closed the lid super tighth so hopefully it should last a while.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I can't imagine to use any eyeshadow without this primer.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I use UDPP every single time I put on make on my eyes!!! It is the BEST product I have EVER tired to keep my shadows in place. I depotted my UDPP that came with my UD deluxe palette. I put the UDPP in a MAC sample jar. It's been over 6 months and it has not dried up! Once that is gone I have my back up from ULTA, they had an XL sized bottle for $22 a few months ago. I still use paintpots and shadesticks but you can be sure under all of that there is some UDPP.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr whats happened to my UDPP

Ive used the primer potion like forever and the tube Im on at the moment Ive been using for a month or so but for some reason my eyeshadow creases all the time now - I just dont get it and its really starting to frustrate me as Im not using anything else different on my eyes either

Re: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr whats happened to my UDPP

hmmm interesting, I wonder if its just the heat and humidity of summer? even the best primers can't stand up against hot and sweaty!!! I swear by UDPP, but if I'm going to be out in the heat I know not to expect too much from it. Other than that theory, I have no idea!

Re: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr whats happened to my UDPP

mine has gone kinda weird lately too! it doesn't crease but it seems to go a little orange on me!! and i have to rub it off.... only does it in the outer corners of my eyes though so i wonder if it is reacting to foundation....

Re: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr whats happened to my UDPP

I stopped using my UDPP a month ago because I thought at the time it might be causing me to get tiny bumps on my eyelids. I cannot be sure though, although not using UDPP has helped or not in getting rid of the bumps. I am not using LM eye primer in the blue.. and that is working well also
