re: UD Primer Potion Discussion
It's life-changing! I used to not bother doing eye makeup because it would always seem to fade after 1-2 hours. But since I tried UDPP I am CRAZY for eyeshadow! Colours are more vibrant and last the whole day. I definitely hacked into the bottle and scooped out the goods into a sample jar.
I haven't tried TFSI, but I don't really feel the need to since UDPP works so well for me. You know what they say: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I've been wondering the same thing! I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. But here's what I do - face primer (I'm using one from Smashbox right now, it's fine, I like it), foundation, concealer, powder. I don't put any of those things on my eyelids though. Then after all that I put the UDPP on my lids and a little bit under on the bottom lashes.
...I also always have a problem with the UDPP getting on my lashes no matter how careful I am. Oh well, I just put mascara on afterwards.

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
I use eye cream first, but not on the upper lid.
Then UDPP is ALWAYS the first 'makeup' product I put on my eyes...heck, it's the first thing I use period. Even if I'm not using any eyeshadows, I will use UDPP. I am insanely paranoid about creasing, so I make sure UDPP is the first layer on and will subsequently prevent creasing no matter what I throw at it. Now I can apply concealer, powder, eyeshadows, cream eyeshadows, liners...everything is good!
I'm sure I wouldn't crease if I did powder/concealer before UDPP, but I'm still worried. I don't even want to risk it, so UDPP first it is!

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion
I bought the new Book of Shadows a few days ago. In it was a trial bottle of PP. The samples I've had before have all been in little straight sided bottles and I know a lot of people prefer these to standard size due to the depotting issues with the bottle shape. But, when I opened the bottle the applicator was different to the standard ones supplied. It''s slightly longer and angled so that it reaches most of the product in the bottle, even in the bulb and the base!
Has anybody bought a new PP lately. Was the applicator bent/angled in the standard size bottle too??? Have UD really solved the packaging issues so simply??? Fingers crossed and awaiting everyones findings and comments

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion
i have both the new curved wand and the old one - I think the new wand will still miss a lot, but it should help get more out. I tried too faced shadow insurance, and it came out all gross every time - watery - as if you have to shake it up every time - returned it....thanks to the boards and youtube I found UDPP - the only urban decay product I'll keep buying

This is already a very long thread. But, I felt it necessary to add that this base is the truth. I am oily...and I have very oily lids. This is the ONLY thing that works. It stops creasing, keeps my look from being oily, and I won't even wear eyeshadow with out it..(Unless, I must wear makeup that day).

UDPP is honestly the best thing ever invented.
I've got extremely oily lids, and this keeps creasing and fading at bay.
I even wear this when I wear eyeliner too. And mascara, so that my lids don't oil up and make my mascara smudgy.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion
I am somewhat new to the UDPP I've had mine for about two weeks now and I have to say although it makes my eye shadows last longer than anything I've ever used before with no creasing
(Which is very important to me) I find it extremely hard to blend!! For me since I'm not so good at blending eye shadow to begin with >>>> (Newbie still learning) using the primer makes it worse for me. Also it sticks on my lids like GLUE! It's very hard for me to get the shadow off at the end of the day because it's like glued to my lids I have to rub very hard with a rag or a piece of toilet paper to try getting it off but because it's on there so good I have to rub, and rub and rub to get it off which in the end my lids end up red and sore
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem too? and also any recs to help the shadows to blend a little easier??

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion
I purchased the primer potion last week and it has changed my life. It seriously makes my eyemakeup last all day and night. First day I tried it I tried it alone under my shadow and I felt it made my lids look sort of dry, so the next day I put a paintpot on top of it and it is perfection. Thanks everyone for recommending this product! I went back and bought another one to put in my kit.

Eden Primer?
Has anyone tried this yet? I'm tempted to get it, since I love Sin but I hate the fact that regular UDPP almost has no colour whatsoever to it. I couldn't find any pictures of anyone actually wearing it though, just swatches on hands, so I'm kind of skeptical of whether it actually creates this "naked, no makeup look" that UD says it does.

Re: Eden Primer?
I am tempted to but the only thing that keeps me from buying it is
when I use too thick of a layer in UDPP original my eyeshadow looks cakey and not smooth. takes more blending. I am thinking the new eden since it is not sheer would have that problem. would love to hear input too of someone who has tried it.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion
I do like this product, and it does make my shadows last longer, but it isnt fully standing the distance at the moment. I also HATE the packaging. It's such a con. I think that Urban Decay could have done a lot better with the packaging, but while we still buy it they aint gonna change it! Yes the Genie bottle looks cute, but the wastage... I'm getting ready to slice my hand off while trying to open the packaging out for more product!!!

Re: Eden Primer?
I am SO in love with this stuff! I have purple veins on my lids and I feel like that causes my shadows to not be true-to-color. When I opened the tube, I thought, "no way, this is going to be way too yellow for me," but actually that worked in my favor! Here is a pic of with vs without.

Re: Eden Primer?
I just got an email from Sephora about this and wish I would have known before I just bought a king-size bottle of regular UDPP from Urban Decay last week! They also gave me a free sample of Sin with my order. So I might wait until those run out before ordering Eden. My first original UDPP dried out because I didn't use it up fast enough so I don't want that to happen again

Re: Eden Primer?
I have this, and actually really like it. I like it much more then the original, the consistency and color just work better for me. I like Sin a lot, but use it like a shadow wash, when I'm lazy, it's not really something that I like as a primer. Eden is my go to primer now!
