e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I love the elf eyelid primer because it's quite cheap, it doesn't feel heavy or irritating and it's skin-coloured so removes discolouration from your eyelids.

I don't like it because it makes my eyeshadow crease a little and can look a bit powdery/dry.

I recommend trying it if you can't afford anything else, but I like my lid primer by The Balm a lot more :)

i got a mini one of these with one of my eye shadow purcheses with them, so i really cant complain about a free primer! however my eyelid does get a little oily during the day so found the crease proof quote coming into question as it did with me, either then that i do like this primer and do find i get a better colour payoff with my shadows when using this as apposed to using nothing

I have repurchased this primer about 3 times, but I'm still not sure about it. I've never used another lid primer so I don't have anything to really compare it to, but my current one is almost dry and I will be trying something else to see. It's just a fine product. It does make my eye makeup last a wee bit longer, but not enough for me to rave about. Has a velvety texture once applied to the lid. Good if you want something inexpensive and not much of a loss if it doesn't work out.

I dont hate it, but its not really my favourite. BUT for the price $3 on iherb you cant complain and it does stop creasing so thats a plus. On a down note, its quite thin and didnt effect the actual look/out come of my eyeshadow aplication, which is why I brought it. But its good to make the shadow last longer, I do however like the more expensive primers over this but its to be expected as you get what you pay for in most cases.

I was given this product for a secret santa a while back and have used it quite a lot over a long period of time. The only other eye lid primer I have used was one by benefit which was more like a concealer and primer in one.

One of the things i really liked about this product is the tube and applicator, it makes applying to the eye lid really easy. I also liked the slightly pearly sheen it left on my eye lids.

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of staying power it provided for my eyeshadow. However, it extended the wear longer than I would have gotten without it, but didn't prevent creasing. Maybe I'm being fussy as my last primer did prevent creasing.

It is also slightly thicker and gluggier so it made blending a bit harder, although, if you spread it around with your finger tip to thin it out it seems to be easier.

Overall it's a reasonably good product for the price, and if anything, it provides a really nice pearlescent base for your eyeshadow.

I bought this product after the endless comparison with the urban decay eye primer. My first mistake was buying Champagne - which is shimmery colour. It was not very clear that this was the case on the packaging at all. This is okay, it does make my eyeshadows last a bit longer but I don't think this was a standout product at all. The shimmer is annoying for daytime use as well.

The packaging is the same as a lipgloss a tube with a wand that you have the product on to dab onto each eyelid,the consistency is not think but very sheer,I put a bit on each eyelid then rubbed it in gently,apon applying my eyeshadow I feel the primer made no difference to putting a concealer on your eyelids,I would not go out to buy ,I would rather use a small dab of concealer which also helps eyeshadow stick,

I bought this of iHerb rather cheap, so I can't say I was overly disappointed in the product. This product was my introduction to eyelid primers.

It sat nicely under eyeshadow's and I did find my eye makeup didn't smudge quite as easily as it does without it. I am not a huge fan of the wand applicator - don't ask me why, I just found it kind of awkward and always ended up using my fingers to apply it easier.

Despite this, I can't say I would buy it again. Simply because, as this introduce me to eyelid primers, after this product I tried the Jordana equivalent - same price just a thicker, creamier product in a small tub that just seems to work on my skin better.

This is not a bad product, I just prefer another. It is a great product to try for the price.

This eye primer provides a smooth base for eye makeup. Has some coverage but very little. Will not cover up very apparent veins or discoloured eyelids. You don't get much in the tube, but it is only a few dollars. It definitely needs to be set, does not dry on its own. I like to use this for a more simple look. For more dramatic looks i would use something with better coverage and lasting power.

Another iherb purchase for me, not one I will bother with again. The primer is thin and blends easily on the eyelids, shadow adheres well to it and I feel that it did help my eyeshadow to last well through the day. However it did nothing to make my shadow pop as other primers, paint pots or grease stocks do. I realise elf is a cheap and cheerful brand it the chemical smell of their products is a real turnoff for me. Will be sticking with my other primers from now on.
