This product is another one from the ELF range that I purchased from I herb. It’s only about $3 USD, so I had nothing to lose.
The primer comes in a cylinder plastic tube and it about the length of a pencil, and the width of your finger. The lid of this product is black and pulls out to reveal a wand attached to it, which is used for application. Prior to this product, I had never used an eyelid primer so can’t compare the application or design to anything else I’ve used but I personally found this product easy to use and apply. Although I question how much wastage there would be with this sort of design. Plus the packaging does make this product feel cheap (which it is so I guess that’s fair enough).
I actually got my primer in the wrong colour. I simply chose the first on I saw, and had no idea that they come in other varieties as well. The colour I choose was a nude, skin colour one. Only problem is, my skin colour is a bit .. no a lot darker than that. This primer has quite a thin consistency, but it seems this consistency is perfect for the delicate eye area, and dries quite quickly after application.
I found the eye primers worked really well. Not only did it reduce the fall out of my eye shadows, it also made my eye shadows last longer. Additionally, with some eye shadows (but not all), it also made the eye shadows look more pigmented, and just gave them that extra pop.
I have to admit, for $3 I’m really impressed with this eye primer. It does a great job of keeping eye shadows looking great for longer, and adding the special pop of pigmentation. I would recommend everyone try this, and get it off I herb because it’s cheap as chips. I would buy this again, but in a different shade.
This is a cheap eyelid primer, so you're getting what you paid for. It does basically do what it's supposed to, but I find that, for me, it doesn't absorb as well as other primers so if I'm not careful it can be visible.
I cant say that I've noticed less creasing from my eyeshadows. so I'm not totally impressed with this primer. Wasn't really expecting much from it because of the price, but I do admit that I use it from time to time when I cant find my other preferred primer and am in too much of a rush to find it.
