I have never used an eyeshadow primer before, so I didn't know what to expect. I was gifted Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, Original.
I love the packaging. The Primer Potion comes in an eye catching, metalic lavender tube with an exotic shaped silver lid. The lid is easy to unscrew and then there is a long beak applicator with a pin head size opening. You do not need to squeeze the tube very hard and only a tiny amount of primer is required per eye.
I do no apply with a brush. I apply primer to my finger and it glides across my eyelid. Make sure you have clean hands. You can see where you have applied the primer and it drys very fast. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion is light beige in colour and very thick but soft and creamy.
You can feel feel the difference once primer is on your eyelid. It's not heavy but you are aware there is a coating. And once primer is applied, your eyelids feel very smooth. Eyeshadow glides on like magic.
For me, the difference of wearing a primer and not wearing a primer is my makeup sits in place all day. My eyeshadow has not bled, faded or entirely disappeared. There is nothing more I would require from a primer.
I've always had quite oily eyelids and could never find any type of eyeshadow that would last the day. I was then given a sample of this wonderful product....
I had the shade Eden, which is a nice creamy pale beige. This product makes made my eyeshadow look freshly applied all day. I just apply it with my finger to my eyelid and it sets quickly so there is no waiting around to put your eyeshadow on. I feel like the eyeshadow colours really pop with this as the base.
Tips: You only need to use the smallest amount.
