re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I am always shocked when someone says this doesn't work for them as I find it the most amazing product ever. It took me several months of using it nearly everyday, even without e/s to use up one tube.

For me the trick is using the wand to slather it all over the lids and under lid and then I gently rub it in. Some people say they let it dry for a while but I usually just start applying e/s and it seems to work fine.

Its excellent for days when you don't wear e/s but wear e/l to keep the liner from transfering to your eye crease.

Cons: If it dries on your lashes it can make mascara application difficult. If you make mistakes or smudge your mascara/el onto the UDPP accidently it can be hard to remove so quick attention is required and sometimes reapplication to fix these problems.

darn darn darn darn darn

I had a tube of this a while ago and stopped using it cos it made my left eye smart and water (just one eye, isn't that wierd?) - but felt it was an amazing product, nonetheless.....

About a week ago, I decided to give UDPP another go after a reasonable "break" (figuring I might have done something stupid, like been using too much, etc), and for the first few days I was fine, but now.... weepy left eye ahoy!!! Grrrrrr.....

Paints and fluidlines never do this to me....

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I finally bought some of this after all the raves, and most of the times I've used it, it's worked GREAT! However, there have been a few times my eye shadow has creased - very shortly after application. Am I letting it dry TOO much?

Also - anyone have tips on BLENDING shadows with UDPP? This stuff works so well, it really makes blending difficult. LOL.

I'm interested in learning more about that Monistat stuff as a base, too. Is it true you can use it ALL over your face, as well? Are there any contraindications in regards to using it in your eye area?

ME TOO! Omg i am so happy i finially bought this. I tried it today with some cheap eyeshadows and they honestly did not budge ALL day long. I can get away without buying the best eyeshadows now!

It'll end up saving me a lot of money hahahahaha

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

i love the primer too, i switch off between it and the paints, but overall the primer wins.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

Use very little of the UDPP. I've found that it creases immediately and makes blending a challenge if you use too much.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

yes, yes, yes for UDPP!! i never put on my e/s without it . . . i crease like a &%^$# in no time flat without it . . . i can go to work, the club, fall asleep, and wake up in the morning with VIBRANT lasting color . . . amazing . . . i'm on my second bottle of potion . . . i was literally SCRAPING the other one

as for girls with darker skin tones . . . it works just as well on me, no chalky-beigy-ness

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

i love UDPP. sometimes i use UDPP and then Beige-ing shadestick over it, and then put on my e/s, and IT DOES NOT BUDGE. at all. if i wear UDPP or Beige-ing alone, occasionally i get a little creasing b/c my eyelid are expecially oily.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I love this stuff. It is the best primer ever. My mu comes out so vibrant and never moves.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

Thanks to this thread, I jumped on the band wagon. I'm so happy I did!!! I was having trouble with NARS cream shadows, and this made creases a thing of the past for me. So much love!

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

OMG YES! I bought the primer this past weekend. I had a HUGE problem with creasing and fading, my eyeshadows would turn different colors, and my eyeliner would paint my eyelids black...etc...so I finally used it on Monday and my eyeshadow and eyeliner stayed on ALL day and even through the night to this morning! I love it! I have to say it was a good investment.

Urban Decay is now selling it in a 2pack for $25. Not bad, but it took me a year to get thru one.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I swear by mine. I use it every day... my eye makeup never lasts without this stuff.

re: UD Primer Potion Discussion

I just got a CP for this from one of the gorgeous gals here on Specktra and it arrived the other day! I LOVE it, will NEVER use anything else again. Forget paints, CCB, shadesticks or whatever else is being used for a base, this stuff rocks! I can go for over 12 hours and still not have ANY creasing at all - it just doesnt budge, even after a sleep!! I have never seen it for sale here in AU though, so when I run out I will be chasing another CP again...LOL!!!
