Before you use a good eyeshadow primer, its easy to question if you really need one (or thats what i thought anyway). My eyeshadow seemed to last most the day. Yes it would fade slightly, but that was normal. Or so i thought.
I picked up this product when beauty.com was having a 20% sale and that was something i really could not resist.
This eye primer comes in a small plastic tube, and on the lid there is a jewel shaped dome. Honestly, i hate this dome. I think it looks really tacky, but that's just a personal opinion and its whats on the inside that counts anyway.
Attached to the jewel lid is a wand with a doe foot applicator which was something that I wasn't expecting. I actually love this, because it makes application a breeze, and lets you put primer exactly where you need it.
The primer is a peachy colour, and has a thinish consistency. I believe it suits all skintones because it blends in seamlessly, and if can be worn on my skin tone, I'm sure it will be fine on everyone.
Now the big question. Does it work? Yes, yes and yes. It makes my eyeshadows bright and they last all day. My eye shadow looks as good when i get home, as it did when i left the house. This primer is a game changer and puts all my other eye primers to shame. If you love your eyeshadow, you need this in your life.
Urban Decay is a quality brand & I'm finding it hard to sort out the cons.
This primer is appealing it comes in a cute foil type tube with a twist lid although the new version has a doe foot applicator attached to the lid. I didn't get that tube. Contents: A flesh coloured cream silicon type almost like a concealer but thinner.it is opaque & smooths out over the lid but does dry almost instantly so you have only moments to spread over the lid. Effects : This gives a great base being opaque and flesh tone it evens out any discoloration & can be worn just by itself naked on the lid. But once applying shadows to this base it dramatically enhances the shadows pigmentation, I find its like a glue the shadows cling to the primer & I like this effect it gives less fall out & packs a punch for colour show. Also you need to apply evenly as it can cause creasing if you've applied unevenly. Once you've mastered application this performs to your lids favour. Show casing your shadows also helps when blending out the shadows. This keeps the intensity for 12 hours the colour doesn't fade it just stays as bright as when first applied. No slipping of your shadows. In all I can say this is a worthwhile product that does as it says. A hassle that it didn't have a applicator but can't wait to buy the new style of packaging that includes the applicator.
Tips: Spread out evenly to avoid creasing. Be fast with application as it can set quite fast.
