Fabulous

I love the Australis Eyeshadow primer. My shadows tend to "travel" from my lid without a primer and this primer kept it in place all day. I loved the smooth velvety finish of this one. No creasing to be seen at all.

Another great australis product!

Tips: I loved using this under my eyes to help smooth fine lines,it worked!

meh

im going to be honest and there are way better out there, i find that this primer just doesn't benefit me at all , it doesn't help keep the eyeshadow on for very long.

Tips: my fave its jordana eyeshadow base , its amazing and its only around 4 dollars :)

Alright

This primer really wasn't great, It didn't keep my eyeshadows on for long at all. I agree how everybody else says bascially its a pretty package but doesn't really do much.

Tips: Maybe if you really need your eyeshadow to stay on if you have really oily eyelids etc, Splurge on something a bit more high end because it will be worth it in the long run!!!

Unsure

This was the first eye primer that I ever bought, so I didn't really know what to expect. My eyelids tend to crease throughout the day and my eye shadow likes to just disappear on its own, so I was really hoping this would work. It wasn't amazing. I feel like it only made a slight difference in how long my eyeshadow stayed on for. There was still a little bit of creasing (damn oily eyelids!). I'm not sure if I would repurchase this as using a concealer does the same as what this did, but I will definitely keep using this until the tube runs out :-)

Doesn't do it for me!

I found this primer congealed and clumped when it came into contact with any other cream product, including foundation, concealer and cream shadows. Not great! And even then, it didn't stop my eyeshadow from creasing. I have normal to oily eyelids.

I wonder why it clumped with other products? That defeats the purpose :( am glad I've read these reviews as I've been looking for a cheap alternative for UDs primer potion.

Outstanding

I have tried a few eyeshadow primers and this is one of the only primers that has worked for me. I have very combo eyelids sometimes oily sometimes dry and always a lot of creasing. When I wore this my eyeshadow lasted about 5 hours longer than it usually would without creasing.

Tips: Use only a small amount of primer as too much will cause creasing

Australis Eye Shadow Primer

I brought this product pretty much out of curiosity. Being a makeup artist primers are everything! But this primer didn't take my fancy. I tried it on myself and clients and found that it didn't hold pigmented colour on for more than 4 hours, and less than 3.5 hours on a hooded eye.

I also found that for ladies with sensitive skin like myself this product is a definite must not have! It's really harsh on the eye area, it's thick but you need a lot of product to do up to your brow bone.

The packaging is pretty, but the applicator not so great.

Tips: Primers are everything for a good face of makeup! Eye primers are not a 'necessity' for a flawless face. Instead of buying an expensive primer, invest in a good cream concealer that's a shade lighter or your exact skint one, work it in, let it set. A good concealer can hold the brightest to the darkest of pigments for a lot longer than a eye primer.

Just a pretty package

Hmmm I don't know where to start with this..I wanted to be convinced that you should use a primer on your eyes! NOT WITH THIS PRODUCT!

Packaging - Colour is pretty thats about where it stops for compliments. It comes in a sort of mascara type tube with a lip gloss style applicator, the product is invisible on the wand and the tube is opaque, it's really hard to see what's left, and how much you're using, and the applicator doesn't reach the bottom of the tube so you're wasting a lot of product. Also, the applicator's not a particularly helpful tool in getting this product on your eye - because it is so smooth and invisible, you really can only apply it with your fingers if you're going to know how much you've got on your eyelid. The applicator isn't well-shaped for covering an eyelid.

Now on to the product itself, I didn't really find it to be great.I put the primer on waited for it to dry then when i went to apply the eyeshadow it was really hard to put on and blend and to be honest putting it on in the morning it probably lasted til about 3pm, no different to me putting eyeshadow on its own!! It does make eyeshadow more vibrant but thats not what i was looking for in this product im looking for it to last a long time. I don't experience any eyeshadow creasing but then, eyeshadow doesnt crease on me YET!

Very disappointed in this product would not buy!

Tips: Cross it off your xmas list

Nice Primer..

I had no idea about primers before this trial, oh sure I'd heard of them but never used them. I was surprised that this one went on nice and smoothly and I couldn't see it at all! Applied eye shadow and then went out for the night. I have to say I was pleasantly surpised at the minimal creasing I had, Will definitely be using this product more in the future!!
