e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I bought this on a whim after seeing it was only one dollar, and it has amazed me with its quality. I have fairly oily eyelids and I'm used to my eyeshadow creasing and my eyeliner smudging everywhere. When I use this, it holds everything in place for hours and I don't have to worry about looking like a raccoon.

This is my first ever primer of any sort, and I really wanted to invest in an eyelid one since my lids get quite oily throughout the day and need something to keep the eyeshadow at bay.

This product is pretty average. I think it does a decent job at prolonging eyeshadow visibleness, but by the time you get home at night, it will definitely have dulled and faded (but this also could be contributed to my oily lids).

Another downside is the lack of actual formula in the tube. Literally not much inside, so for the normal retail price, I think it's a 50/50 on purchasing. If it's on sale, definitely get one for on the go.

Other than that, you probably might want to skip on this and find a more high quality primer, if it's within your price range.

I decided to buy an eyelid primer to see if it helped my eyeshadows stand out more, last longer and have less fall out. And with this product only being $2 at Kmart, I couldn't lose.

On opening the eyelid primer, the first thing I was really disappointed to see is that there isn't really that much product in there. There is a wand for application in there that is like a lipgloss wand, but not the ton of product you see in a lipgloss.

To test if this product worked I've done one eye with eyelid primer and one without. The results were that the eye with the eyelid primer retained slightly more of the shadow over the day making that eye slightly more pigmented. Other than that I did not notice any significant differences.

I probably wouldn't bother buying this product again but might look at another primer. But I am still undecided.

I was really excited to try this as I hadn't tried an eyelid primer before and this one had good reviews. However when I went to use it for the first time I was disappointed. The tube had a very minimal amount of product in it. After swirling it around in the tube I managed to get some. I had the shade pearl, which I thought would give a nice sheen. Unfortunately it was very glittery and didn't seem to make my eyeshadow last longer or prevent it getting creased. Still wanting to try the other shades.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
