e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I found that this didnt really work for me, it creased my eyeshadow, and did not make it stand out as well as i had expected. I would tell my friends to try it and see if they like it.

I got this off iherb and it was only a few dollars. I really like it I do see my shadows lasting longer with it than without it. I have the shade sheer and it is great for any coloured eyeshadow.

It is nothing amazing but worth it for the price.

My only problem is that it can dry out in the tube quite fast considering I don't wear eyeshadow alot.

I really like the elf eyelid primer. It works really well to hold my eyeshadow in place all day without it creasing. I like that it absorbs into my eyelids and doesn't go tacky so eyeshadow can be applied smoothly and be blended, it also makes colours stand out more. There isn't a huge amount of product in each tube but it is very affordable so that isn't really a big deal for me. I definitely think it's worth investing in.

This was the first eyeshadow primer I had ever tried, ever! I wasn't highly impressed or anything. I am a huge fan of ELF products, but this just didn't really float my boat. I didn't find there was much product in the tube and I didn't notice a difference with the wear of my eyeshadow. However, other people really talk this product up. But personally, I wouldn't recommend it <3

I have this in the white shade, and I use it everyday. I got it on sale for $3 at KMART and it was so worth it. It really does increase the longevity, but perhaps not for as long as I would like it to. If you want to invest in an eyeshadow primer but don't want to splash out this is the one for you

I bought this of iHerb rather cheap, so I can't say I was overly disappointed in the product. This product was my introduction to eyelid primers.

It sat nicely under eyeshadow's and I did find my eye makeup didn't smudge quite as easily as it does without it. I am not a huge fan of the wand applicator - don't ask me why, I just found it kind of awkward and always ended up using my fingers to apply it easier.

Despite this, I can't say I would buy it again. Simply because, as this introduce me to eyelid primers, after this product I tried the Jordana equivalent - same price just a thicker, creamier product in a small tub that just seems to work on my skin better.

This is not a bad product, I just prefer another. It is a great product to try for the price.

This product is a great value for money but doesn't exactly tick all the boxes for me. It applies nicely, not took thick and cakey looking but I found when applying eyeshadow onto it, it was slightly more difficult than without the primer. This primer definitely made my eyeshadow last longer than it would have without the primer, but after a full day of wearing make up, it still did not prevent my eyeshadow from creasing.

Overall a good product and would buy again if on a budget.

works really well, eye shadow is definitely more vibrant and lasts longer when used underneath. and also good price.

e.l.f Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer is available in 4 colours: Sheer, Champagne, Pearl & Golden. I wanted to try "Sheer" but the Kmart I went to was out of stock so I had to settle for "Pearl".

e.l.f. Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer provides a silky smooth foundation for your eye make-up and helps ordinary eye shadows to last longer and helps prevent them from creasing. The primer is packaged in a white plastic tube with silver writing and a black lid (similar in size to a slim tube of mascara) and has a colts-foot applicator.

I’ve found that for best results, the primer needs to be applied very thinly. To do this, remove the colts-foot applicator and either place a small dot of primer on each eyelid, or transfer some of the primer from the applicator and onto a finger before spreading the primer over the entire eye area (from lash line to eyebrow).

Personally, I prefer to place some of the primer on my ring finger, then gently rub my two ring fingers together to get a small amount on each before applying this to my eyelids. This ensures that a thin coat is applied and its easier to blend and quicker to dry. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying any eye shadow.

The lightweight creamy formula has a silicone-smooth feel with a soft, almost matte finish on the skin. "Pearl" comes out of the tube as a white primer with a slight shimmer but once it's blended and a light coloured eye shadow is applied over the entire area, the shimmer becomes much less noticeable.

Eye shadow definitely glides on a lot more smoothly than without a primer and eye shadow colours become more vibrant. I usually find that cheaper eye shadows collect in the crease of my (sometimes oily) eyelids but even these become longer-lasting, more intense and don't crease as much.

For a budget brand, this eye shadow primer works well and is definitely value for money.

$1 at Kmart the other week because a new formula is coming out, so I got two, gold and champagne. So my review is of the old formula.

I guess you get what you pay for, the lid of one broke as I tried to open it the first time-it split up the side but still totally usable as it's just the outer cap. The other one was fine.

They have a lip gloss type wand for application, I would prefer a little squeeze tube personally. There doesn't seem to be much product in the tube either.

The gold was too gold and shimmery for me to use as a primer- I don't usually cover my lid in such a vibrant gold colour. The champagne is a muted grey/mauve matte colour which is good as a base colour- a bit smokey, and also good on its own.

As a primer i didn't notice my eyeshadow staying on any better than without using it so I'd say it was a fail as a primer. I like the grey one colour wise so I'll probably keep using it and then keep an eye out for a nice shadow in a similar colour.

Hope the new formula is much improved on the old.
