Great for the price!

I loved this primer, I used the shade sheer, I apply it under my concealer under my eyes and under my eyeshadow. I feel like it helps my concealer not crease and last through the day. I definitely think it helped my shadow last and look better.

Tips: I just applied it with my fingers.

Primed for E.L.F eyelid primer

I have to admit I was apprehensive about what this product would actually deliver but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. My make up routine has been made even easier. No more faux pas with my shadow or liner. Just no fuss shadow perfection.

Tips: Always always use this product. Its a must for your eye shadow art.

E.L.F Eyelid Primer

I bought this from Iherb for around $1. I had never used one before so thought I may aswell give it a go. I was pretty impressed. I dabbed a little on my eyelids and then blended it out.It didn't cake which was great. I waited a minute before applying my eyeshadow and it seemed to help keep my eyeshadow stay vibrant and non creasing throughout the day. Would definitely recommend it to lady's with oily eyelids, especially for the price!

Tips: you may as well try it, for the price what have you got to lose!

Fantastic!

This was the first eye primer I ever brought and tried, I honestly wasn't expecting much as it's only $1 but I had heard/read some pretty good reviews on it so I thought "why not". I was utterly impressed with this little tube of goodness, it's affordable and it does the job! What more could you want? I have oily eyelids and this works perfectly on them, it keeps my shadow in place and doesn't crease or fade. The only thing is that this doesn't last more than 5 hours on my oil slick lids so I tend to only wear this if I'm going to course or out shopping, for dinner - somewhere I know I won't be at for a long period of time.

Tips: Don't apply more than one swipe on each eyelid, you can over apply this product which makes the eyeshadow sit unevenly on top of it, it will look dry and cakey too. Let the formula sit for about 30 seconds before blending it out and then let it dry completely before applying shadow otherwise you won't be able to blend anything.

e.l.f Eyelid Primer

I bought this item from the states so it only cost 1.00 or $3.00, I can't remember but I am super glad I didn't buy it for 10.00 as I would have been extremely disappointed.

I'm not a huge eyelid primer person as I don't get oily lids and products seem to go on my lids fine without it, maybe thats why I didn't think too much of this product..

I find this to be a very basic product. I notice no difference in my eyeshadow pigment when I am wearing it. I also don't notice any difference with it increasing the longevity of my eyeshadows.

I own the Urban Decay primer and that one is amazing and brings out the shadow pigments. The ELF primer personally does nothing for me.

Oh and it's also cheaply made my lid broke the first day I got it.

Favourite primer

This is the first eye primer I have ever used, and I have repurchased once already. I love that this comes in a slim case, and I keep it next my eyeshadow palettes so that I remember to use it before applying eyeshadow. This primer is very creamy, but has a thin consistency. It is easy to apply and you only need a small amount. I find the best way is to dot this on the eyes using the applicator, then use your finger to blend in. This eyelid primer helps your eyeshadow stay in place all day, and is especially good if you have oily skin as it helps the eyeshadow stay put. I recommend this to anyone who has not tried an eye primer before, or is looking for a cheaper alternative. This tube will last you a long time and after using this you will not go back to eyeshadow without primer!

Impressive!

This primer is fantastic value for money. I purchased mine for (US )$3 on iherb and am nothing but impressed. Primers seem to last forever also and this one is no exception!

The packaging is very simple and contains a doe-foot applicator (which I prefer over a tube from which you have to use your finger) making application easy. A little of this goes a long way too, so your $3 is very well spent.

I find this helps my shadow stay vibrant throughout the day (not fade) and stay crease free and exactly where I placed it.

You just can't beat a primer this affordable that actually performs (I have other high end primers, but, this is honestly just as good as those). I will be repurchasing this when my tube finally runs out and would recommend to all.

Tips: Let the primer set for a minute or so before applying your eye shadow.

YES!

this stuff not is super cheap but looks very pretty makes your eye shadow last all day and I can wake up and still have on my eye shadow. It lasts forever on your face and through the bottle. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this! SHOCK HORROR

Tips: Don't apply to much and blend with a fine foundation brush or finger. Put the primer onto the finger so no contaminants go onto the brush of the primer and back into the bottle

Fantastic at first

I have (sheer) has a light fleshy pinky nude tone which neutralizes the eyelids and prepares them for the shadows to come. Also spreads on nicely without caking up. Really love this cheap little primer, definitely comparable to high end brands I have tried. The downfall is after a couple of uses this becomes a tad oily on me and no-longer holds my eyeshadow. After 3 uses it is now creasing terribly so it's not the primer for me and not worth repurchasing even if it's so cheap just as it's a waste of money to have to keep throwing them out.

Horrible stuff

If you ever get eczema avoid this like the plague. I wore this for one day and as a result had an eczema flare up on my eyelids which was incredibly painful. I felt like my eyelids had been papercut. Even if I didn't react to this I still wouldn't recommend it. It still creases and is the product is thin and watery. I prefer the jordana eye primer 100%

Tips: Buy off iherb for $2. Don't buy it at kmart for $10 as its certainly not worth it.

I couldn't agree more!! $10.00 is such a rip off for an awful product. The Jordana eye primer is awesome, though I can't find it anywhere anymore :(
