Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

I love these primers! They all serve their individual purposes. Sin is amazing, actually on its own. If I’m not wearing eyeshadow I will just wear this one on its own. It’s a beautiful bronzy goldish color that looks amazing on the eyelid. The original is a must have for normal eye looks and Eden is great for very matte eyes when you need a nice light colored base. Original is translucent and the Eden one is a matte creamy beige color. The anti wrinkle one, I didn’t really see as effective at in that regard so I never use it on my clients. The packaging is very cool and stylish. Looks great on a vanity!

I purchased this a few days ago at Mecca in a trial size (they stock heaps of mini’s so you can try them at a fraction of the price). I thought I would put it to the and use it before applying my least long lasting eye shadow. It was applied about 8 hours ago and although my shadow is starting to slide now it has lasted double the time it normally does. I love that it comes with an applicator wand as theres no wastage. I will definitely be buying this again(and again) as its the best eye primer I’ve tried.

I loved the primer that i had it had a nice creamy formula offered full coverage whilst remaining light and it dried to a nice smooth finish. it is definitely a nice product and i will be purchasing another one in the future if not the same one then definitely from their range!

Best eyelid primer I have tried. Originally saw this on ShaanXO so got a sample size from mecca and was hooked from there. The primer itself is so pretty that you could do without the shadow and just have the gorgeous primer! Otherwise it is a great base for shadow, with it staying put for a much longer time than other primers I have tried so I agree with the all day wear for sure. Sin and minor sin definite favourites. Although the price does seem up there it is definitely worth it for the quality of this product.

I have the Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original. The potion itself comes with a wand and the formula is of a light nude shade. When I apply it, I just put 2 small dots on my lid and blend with my pinky finger. The formula is thin which makes it easy to blend. With this primer on my lid, eyeshadow application is easy and smooth, the colors are even, and it never creases. The last part is really important for me because I've always had issues with creasing on my lid.

The only issue I had with this primer is that I had to be extra careful in applying it only on my eyelid and not have it touch my under eye area. I remember noticing these light clumpy spots on my inner eye and under eye area as if the concealer had solidified. I thought it was my concealer at that time (I believe I was using the Tarte creaseless concealer), until I noticed one day while blending the primer potion that I accidentally dab a little bit of the primer on to my undereye area and these are the spots that get clumpy. I’m not sure if it was because of the thick consistency of the concealer that I was using, but it was really hassle to remove that I had to redo my whole look.

Other than that, I was very happy with this purchase. Mind you, I haven’t tried a lot of eyeshadow primers in the market. However it is very affordable, of good quality, and lasted me more than a year so it’s worth the purchase for me!

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 brought this eyeshadow primer in the original eyeshadow version.

Its a reasonable thick formula but is creamy and glides on my eyelids easily. It looks just like a concealer. It can take a minute or so to dry properly, so to save time I usually apply the primer after doing my foundation and then move onto applying something else before doing my eyeshadow.

The sponge applicator is reasonably flexible but I find to much comes out of the tube and when you wipe off the excess it ends up going everywhere, wasting some primer.

It does an excellent job of helping prep your eyelids for eyeshadow. It doesnt crease and helps my eyeshadow stay on longer. I highly recommend this and look forward to trying the other versions.

I have gone through several sample pods of this eye primer and my favourite one is the shade "Eden" which is a nude matte and matches my skin tone perfectly. This primer dries down quickly, makes my eyelids look smooth and really helps to make my shadow last the whole day. It even lasts through a gym session! The only reason I haven't bought the full size product yet is because I've heard the doe foot applicator is difficult to work with and I prefer primers that come in squeezy tubes.
