e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I was given this product for a secret santa a while back and have used it quite a lot over a long period of time. The only other eye lid primer I have used was one by benefit which was more like a concealer and primer in one.

One of the things i really liked about this product is the tube and applicator, it makes applying to the eye lid really easy. I also liked the slightly pearly sheen it left on my eye lids.

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of staying power it provided for my eyeshadow. However, it extended the wear longer than I would have gotten without it, but didn't prevent creasing. Maybe I'm being fussy as my last primer did prevent creasing.

It is also slightly thicker and gluggier so it made blending a bit harder, although, if you spread it around with your finger tip to thin it out it seems to be easier.

Overall it's a reasonably good product for the price, and if anything, it provides a really nice pearlescent base for your eyeshadow.

I found this product to be pretty average, but for the price I really shouldn't complain, I think I picked it up for like $2 off iHerb or something.

I found the formula to be quite thin so it wasn't really tacky enough. I believe it comes in few different colors, but I don't think that would make any difference.

I didn't feel like this made any of my eyeshadows "pop" and definitely didn't help with the staying power.

I have not tried many primers especially for the eye so I do not have much to go on before this I tried putting foundation on my lids. This product I scored for $2 I have the pearl and the champagne types. I have not tried the gold version I tried last night when I put make up on before bed as a little pick me up and to impress my boyfriend I went all out on the eye make up and naughty me did not wash off till todays shower. I have to say some of my eye shadow stayed on and this was from using the pearl primer. The packaging is good with its little applicator how ever not to be confused with lip gloss... the product felt sort of silky going on my eye but I noticed the applicator did not pick up much and I felt I needed a little more than just one sweep / dip of product. I also noticed that the bottle was not full when I got it. The pearl has fine glitter in it so I think could be used as a high lighter too and turn a matte eye shadow shimmery or creamy. I would re buy.

This is the first eyelid primer I've tried and it was around $2 from iHerb. It was so cheap I thought I'd give it a go.

I have oily eyelids and when I've tried to wear eyeshadows or eyeliners in the past, they just wouldn't last on me. When I put this on before eyeshadow, I found that it lasts longer and it keeps the oil at bay.

I can't compare it to more expensive primers but for me this works. Unfortunately, my first one didn't last a long time and there wasn't a lot of product in the tube. I have repurchased it though because it's cheap anyway.

I think this is good for people like me who are just getting into wearing eyeshadows as it won't break the bank if it works on you or not.

I had seen people talking about this so i thought what the heck lets get it because it was so cheap anyway.

It did absolutely nothing! I tried it a few times before i gave it away but it was so bad - my eyeshadow was worse if anything.

I would not rebuy this - luckily it didn't cost much huh :)

Even the packaging was useless - the printing rubbed off straightaway.

I have very dry eyelids just for a reference.

Before I got this primer I was using my NYX HD Studio Primer on my eyelids (not the best, I know, but it was all I had. :D) and the difference is insane!

This eye primer solidified the fact that an eyelid primer is so important when it comes to creating eye looks that require very pigmented shadows.

I love how this primer makes literally all my eye make-up outlast the night, I come home and my make-up looks virtually untouched.

The price is a bonus too - recommend to everyone!

I bought this product after the endless comparison with the urban decay eye primer. My first mistake was buying Champagne - which is shimmery colour. It was not very clear that this was the case on the packaging at all. This is okay, it does make my eyeshadows last a bit longer but I don't think this was a standout product at all. The shimmer is annoying for daytime use as well.

This is the first specific eyelid primer iv used I used to just use my facial primer (eeek) so nothing to compare it to... I bought this at Kmart for $10. Not 100% happy with it but its not too bad and definitely not put me off eyelid specific primers. The packaging seems deceiving on how much you get, I hate the wand application I'd prefer to just use it like a cream with my fingers, it comes out quite thick so blending is a must and while I love shimmer the glitter in it is unnecessary I think especially if u didn't want to use shimmer eyeshadows.

However I did like how my eye-shadow stuck to it and they did last longer and stronger with this than my usual routine.

Iv bought two of these of far in the pearl primer and the champagne colour. The packaging for this product is pretty simple. I use these both and they are a very smooth formula. I wouldn't say it is 100% crease less but it does a good job. The lasting power of this is ok as well. I don't really like the applicator for these I always use a makeup brush to apply or my finger. It is abit greasy as well. Would buy again but not for the full RRP I was lucky to get these on special. If they weren't on special I properly wouldn't have bought it.

The packaging is the same as a lipgloss a tube with a wand that you have the product on to dab onto each eyelid,the consistency is not think but very sheer,I put a bit on each eyelid then rubbed it in gently,apon applying my eyeshadow I feel the primer made no difference to putting a concealer on your eyelids,I would not go out to buy ,I would rather use a small dab of concealer which also helps eyeshadow stick,
