I've been wanting this for a while and when I saw it on special at makeup.Co.nz I snapped it up quick smart. packaging : A fluro mettalic, pink fuchsia tube with a black lid that is a doe foot applicator. Contents: white watery fluid, is thin re watery. Is quite hard to dispense no matter how much I try to pump just a small amount comes out on the applicator. The amount that is on there is watery which is surprising that it doesn't dispense easier. Effects: The primer smooths onto the lids and is sheer not at all opaque it's white but dries out clear. It's a bit worrying being watery that it may not have any adherence but it dries out matte like. However I found it really takes a while for it to dry which is ok but very different in comparison to other eyeshadow primers, which I've used. I didn't see any cons for the use whilst on the skin it did keep the shadow to stay on without creasing. However I did prefer to have more product to come out & for it to be opaque aswell as less dry time. For this reason I don't think the product is worth repeating a purchase there was just not enough of it being dispensed, it was so fiddley & just didn't give me what I was after. I did have high hopes for this product alas it didn't meet them. Nobody wants extra time added into their daily makeup routine & I found this product did this. It was a case of I got what I paid for.

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!!!
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
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.
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.
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 :)
i tried this product and wasnt very impressed i get oily eyelids and when i used this product my eyelids only seemed to get oilier i also noticed that my eyeliner and mascara were smudging very easily and would end up on my eyelids. overall really didnt like the product and would not re purchase
I wanted to love this eye shadow primer as a friend recommended it and raved about it however I did not love this primer and I tried many times to get it to work for me. It didn't make my eyeshadow last any longer than if I didn't use it and it had hardly any product in it, by about the 5th use I noticed it was already getting hard to get out of the bottle. It also made my eyeshadow crease which I've never had a problem with before. I even tried to apply my eyeshadow in a pressing/patting motion rather than sweeping it on but found I got a lot of fall out and it wouldn't blend nicely. Overall I would not recommend this primer and wouldn't use it again
I bought this years ago when i saw Chloe Morello rave about it, bought and when i opened it i was straight away dissapointed, there was hardly any product in there, felt like i was robbed of product and, quite handy having the applicator but so hard to get any product out of the tube. I used it for months and every time it would crease so bad. Kept it for times in need but ended up throwing it away as never reached for it, and it wasn't that cheap for what you got
