e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I bought this as I know e.l.f is a reliable brand from what I have recently tried and the price is just too good to refuse! I have this in a pearly shade and it really does prolong the wear of my eyeshadow!

I have super super oily eyelids and have always had issues with my eyeshadow lasting all day or even on a night out. I tried multiple primers and eyeshadow bases and this one has been the most successful and I'm so happy it is! The formula is really easy to apply and work with, recommend it to anyone!

I bought up a stash of e.l.f products online a while ago including the Eyelid Primer and I'm really impressed! The packaging is basic and easy to use, no complaints there. The thing that makes this amazing though is the fact that it is really effective! For the cheap price I wasn't expecting it to be so good. I have it in Champagne which covers any colour on your eyelid and makes an even, smooth base for eyeshadow. Eye colour goes on really easily and then lasts all day without creasing or smudging. I would definitely recommend buying the eyelid primer - I will be repurchasing when it runs out!

Despite firmly believing that when it comes to my makeup not to prime is a crime, it wasn't until a few months ago I jumped on the eye primer band wagon. At first I really didn't expect too much, the packaging is very simplistic and the formula itself looks just like a white face cream but I was pleasantly surprised by it's performance.

I really like the doe-foot applicator which makes it so easy to apply the right amount of primer. I apply it after my face makeup e.g. foundation, powder, straight to my eyelid and blend it in, leaving it to set while I do my eyebrows. It leaves a white, shimmery cast to the lid which helps lighten the eye area and provides the perfect base for my eyeshadow.

I have oily skin so I'm used to eyeshadows disappearing on my eyelids but this really increases how vibrant and long-lasting my shadow is, stopping the colour from fading away or creasing.

I am so impressed by how well this performs I would happily pay much more than it's bargain price, and will definitely repurchase once this tube eventually runs dry.

Oh my...where have you been all my life Mr E.L.F eyelid primer???

I have hooded eyelids and find keeping eyeshadow on for anytime longer than a few hours a right hassle!

I purchased this little beauty off iherb.com for only $3.

The packaging is simple, a plastic clear tube with a doe foot applicator which I prefer to use.

You only need a very small amount which means that the product will last a long time, even though it is a small tube. To me it doesn't have a smell which I like.

It is so simple to use. Just apply over your eyelids and let it dry (which only takes a minute or less). It's not tacky which is a thumbs up and it's also not real thick.

Upon applying my eyeshadows, I notice straight away that my shadows aren't going to budge, it's like it's 'glued' to my eyelid.

Before I fell in love with Mr E.L.F, my eyeshadow would last up to four hours before it moved into the creases of my hooded eyelids. Now it last the whole day, I'm talking 7am-6pm when I'm home from work and washing my makeup off. Therefore it would most likely last a lot longer. I must comment how the eyeshadow never moves into my creases anymore and the eyelid primer washes off super easy too.

Am I happy you ask??? I think so. How could I not be....this is why the E.L.F eyelid primer is my new love affair. I cannot rave about it enough.

UPDATE : yesterday I worked a eleven hour shift so had my makeup on for around thirteen hours and I'm super happy to say that my eyeshadow didn't budge! :-) by the time I got home, only a tiny tiny amount had moved into the creases of my eyelids but it still looked 'fresh' after all that time :-)

Having hooded eyes has meant I;ve always had massive problems with the rubbing and wrinkles from my eye make up. SO after reading a few tips on here I decided to give this Elf Eyelid Primer a go.

What can I say, I LOVE IT!! I no longer have any problems with my make up leaving awful wrinkle lines, and my eyeline stays put much longer. The tube is small but economica, and the applicator brush can be a little irregular in the amount it puts out, but a quick rub with your finger evens it out. This is a great product I'd definitely recommend if you're having problems with make up rubbing. However I haven't tried many other Primers yet, so it will be interesting to see how it stacks up.

This primer is an absolute lifesaver. Being a student I have not been able to afford an eye primer, but when I saw this elf primer at Kmart, I thought, for $5, lets give this a go! And wow, this has got to be one of the best $5 I have spent! (I have the white eye primer)

Usually, my eye shadow wears off half way through the day (or sometimes even after a couple of hours) but with this primer, I get a super vibrant result with my eyeshadow, which lasts the entire day! It ends up looking the same from morning, until night.

The packaging is very basic and boring, and they could have put more product into the tube, as it only seemed to be about 3/4 full when I first brought it. I found myself having to dig the wand towards the sides of the container to pick up the product, however I am not complaining! I will be buying this primer from now on, as it does the trick, and is perfect for me.

I would definitely recommend trying this out, especially if you dont have any other primers :)

I have this primer in the tone 'Sheer' and after using Urban Decay's renowned original Primer Potion I actually prefer this one. I find it does the same job as my primer potion and at a fraction of the cost. The packaging is simple and makes it easy to apply. Just swipe the applicator over your lids, blend it in, wait for it to dry and you're ready to apply your eye shadow. I can't go without this product, it stops my shadows from creasing and helps my shadow colours and eye liner last all day. I like that it also makes the colours more opaque so I can use less and get the same colour pay-off. Can't beat it!

I have never used an eyelid primer before until I purchased the e.l.f. eyelid primer!!

Wow I never thought I had a problem with my shadows coming off during the day until I used the primer. My eye shadow does not move at all!! After 10-12 hours my eye shadow still looks like it has been just applied1!

it has basic packaging, with a doe foot applicator its light and unscented which is great as the eyes can tend to be more sensitive.

It applies very smoothly and dries very quickly I generally will run my finger over once applied just to smooth out a bit more.

I have the nude (sheer) and find it is great for enhancing most colours of eye shadow. I would suggest not to use a huge amount as you don't need it, and then you don't have to worry about unsmooth looking eye shadow.

I would recommend this product to others as its very reasonably priced, easy to apply and is a great enhancer .

This product is easy to remove at the end of the day.

I won't bother buying any more primers - this one does the job well, and it's very affordable! It has a slightly oily texture which is odd when you apply it considering you want oil free lids, but it dries down well. Makes my eyeshadow last all day, despite my naturally oily lids. Don't use too much, and blend it in well with your finger. I prefer the 'sheer' shade. I also have 'pearl', but I didn't find it as long lasting and it was too sparkly.
