e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I had honestly never even heard of eyelid primer but it looked something like liquid eyeshadow and I need to add a few extra $$ to my order to get a first-buyer discount so, hey! Haha.

The packaging is just as you see above. Fairly simple but I wouldn't expect anything amazing from such a cheap product and it's easy enough to hold and use.

The tip often gets a lot of product on it so I just dab it on my eyelids and then rub it in/ around with my finger. Haha. Hopefully that's not a no-no.

I've really enjoyed using this product because (as long as you wait for it to set for a little bit) it holds all of your eye makeup in place, which is especially exciting if you have done some eyeshadow masterpiece. Haha. I'll be using this product every time I want my eye makeup to hold for the whole day or night. :)

What can I say, other than BUY IT AND TRY IT!

This eye primer is soft and a light thin consistency, which blends effortlessly, it has a dofa applicator which gives you a good amount of product.

No fragrance which is perfect for the eyes, as other products can cause irritation. Also it last all day without creasing on my eyes which get really oily!

The packaging is very basic and cheap, and it isn't particularly large bottle, but for the price of $1.99 its amazing and so worth the price!

I have been on the hunt for an affordable eyelid primer for ages so was so stoked to pick this up for so cheap on iherb. I have quite oily skin on and around my eyes so was finding that eyelid products would only last an hour or so on me before fading away and/or migrating into my eye creases. This really helps to give my eye shadows something to grab on to, and has meant that I am able to dig out some of the eyeshadow palettes which I had previously given up on due to how poorly they lasted, as this really keeps them going for longer. Will definitely repurchase.

I purchased this in 3 different shades and found it to work great for me. I am partial to an oily eyelid part way through the day, so found this is great for helping to minimise that and to keep my eyeshadow in place all day.

One thing I did find was that the applicator, although good does make it a bit difficult to grab all the product from the tube.

I have this in the white shade, and I use it everyday. I got it on sale for $3 at KMART and it was so worth it. It really does increase the longevity, but perhaps not for as long as I would like it to. If you want to invest in an eyeshadow primer but don't want to splash out this is the one for you

I'd gotten this via iHerb - it was very reasonably priced at $3 US. I've never used an eyelid primer before and I thought this would be a good, inexpensive way to see if it was something I'd need.

It comes in a tube with a sponge applicator, which makes it quite handy - no separate brush required.

I found it went on a bit thicker than what I was expecting - I thought it would be almost transparent, but it goes on a bit pink. It doesn't show through or dull the color of the eye shadow at all - it acts really well as a base.

After using it a few times I discovered that I actually like the pink shade of the base, and I've worn it on my lids without applying eye shadow on top - it looks quite pretty and matte.

I'd say that this is a great product, and if you're thinking of trying an eyelid primer this is a pretty good one to start with.

I had read that this primer was a good alternative to Urban Decay eye primers, and at such an affordable price on iHerb I saw no reason not to try it.

I have huge trouble with my shadow slipping into my creases, which is awful as I love creating eye shadow masterpieces! I've tried loads of other more expensive eye primers and have been getting a bit fatigued with them not working but costing a lot!

This primer comes in a handy little tube, I like the small size as it fits easily into my little makeup bag. The applicator is like a lip gloss applicator, and easily dots product onto the eyelid and below the eye.

I have a light shade which gives an even base to hold pigment and show its true colour.

Typically I would smooth out onto clean skin using my fingers, then apply shadow. Initially I thought the product was a miracle, as after several hours my shadow was still in place (it normally moves within half an hour). I have found though that if I get warmer, the shadow does still tend to move unfortunately.

Next I'll try varying more or less product, and applying my shadow while the primer is still damp. I'll also experiment with different application brushes to smooth out the product.

I would recommend this primer, it's the best I've tried so far even though it's not perfect for me, I think I'm an extreme case and it would be great for most people at a very very good price. Worth a try!

I have never tried an eyelid primer, but I saw shaaanxo - my ultimate go-to beauty guru - raving on about it in some of her tutorials so I bought one! Such a good price, and it does exacly what it says it will, my eye shadow doesn't want to slip and slide and fade off anymore, and I still look fabulous at 2am after a rough night out ;)

I got this off iherb and it was only a few dollars. I really like it I do see my shadows lasting longer with it than without it. I have the shade sheer and it is great for any coloured eyeshadow.

It is nothing amazing but worth it for the price.

My only problem is that it can dry out in the tube quite fast considering I don't wear eyeshadow alot.

This is the first eye primer i ever tried and it is so good! I got it for about $3 off iHerb.

Its got quiet a thin consistency and blends very well. It helps my eyeshadow stay on for much longer than usual and helps prevent creasing.

It doesnt really help too much with the pigmentation of my shadows. My eye makeup doesnt always last an entire day with this either.

Is it as good as my too faced or benefit eye primers? no... but it does an amazing job for a fraction of the price.

I would definitely recommend this for anyone on a budget or just starting out
