Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

I hate to say I don't absolutely love this product as I know it is adored by many! I do like it but I have other eye primers that do help my eyeshadows stay longer. I do have quite oily eyelids so find that my eyeshadows do still crease (only a little) with this product. It is a great colour and I really like the consistency, but I reach for my others more (one being the essence I heart stage primer which is soooo affordable!)

I got the sample of all four of these primers with the Naked 2 palette. It does help eyeshadow stay on for a REALLY long time, and I noticed a lot less creasing while wearing this, but I found it next to impossible to blend out on my eyes. It got patchy and moved around so much on my lids at first, even when I don't have oily lids at all, but then it dries so fast that if I got any near my inner corner it just clumped up and looked horrible and I couldn't remove it without taking off all my eye makeup. It did do what it says it should but there were also a lot of negatives and I think there are better eye primers out there, so it was a bit disappointing.

This was my first ever Urban Decay product! I bought a deluxe mini size of this from Mecca. The primer itself is awesome! It works well with any brand of eyeshadow, making it last all day without fading or creasing. I got the anti-aging version which did seem to smooth my eyelids out whilst I was wearing it. What I don't like about it is the sponge tipped applicator. It doesn't pick up enough product which is quite thick. When I put the applicator back in the tube, a small amount is pushed over the neck of the tube, leading to mess as well as waste. I would prefer just a squeezy tube for hygiene's sake as well. I've tried just squeezing the product out but the neck of the tube is large and dispenses too much. I would like to try the coloured primers in the range but I'm put off by the packaging so I probably won't purchase.

I did like this primer, it does work and does make eyeshadow stay on longer, unlike concealer which I hate and will not use as primer. But I've found drugstore dupes which are way cheaper and do the same thing.

This was the first eye primer I ever tried and have repurchased this as it definitely works better than no primer to help blend and prolong your shadow. But on the occasion I've used concealer instead this seemed to work the same. If you can get a mini then I would recommend trying it but maybe not splurge on a full size. I will use it up but next time I'm wanting to try the Nars tinted eyeshadow base.

I read the hype and had to get my hands on this . I wear eye shadow daily to work so I need a good base. Finally I made my first Mecca order . I got the sample size just in case it’s not good. I’m glad I did .

Packaging beautiful aesthetically looking at it . But the applicator doe for it shaped weirdly not like most applicators .

Consistency is creamy ivory coloured beige . Seems quite thin compared to my other eye shadow primers .

Application seems annoying with this applicator .I seem to push the product back in to the container leaving me with a sparse amount of product to apply . I’d rather use my finger instead . Goes on thinly .

Results can hold my eye shadow for a good twelve hours wear time . Doesn’t seem to crease at all .

I was underwhelmed by this product . I would rather use my concealer I got from the beauty vault the l’oréal one . Way better at holding my eye shadow. Holds for more than 12 hours. I’d rather repurchase that than this. I wouldn’t buy it again . I know it’s a loved product but it just didn’t live up to what I’d hoped for .

Overrated , nothing mind blowing considering others on the market are often alot cheaper and being of similar quality. A cult classic I understand,but shop around if you are on a budget. Mini's are available though if you really do want to try it :)

This product was overhyped back then when it was first released! The product was okay for me. It made the colour of my eyeshadow to pop a lot more but the downside is that I did not like how it made the eyshadow powder look a bit creased when you tried blending it on top of the eye primer!

Definitely not worth your money. There are more much better eye primers out there that are much cheaper or you can use any concealer as an eye primer to save more money!
