Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

I've been using Mac paint pot for years but had picked up a tube of this recently. Unfortunately it was as good as not priming at all for me, my eyeshadow faded and creased after only a matter of hours. Granted I do have particularly oily lids (which is why I always prime in the first place!) So if that's not an issue for you then this may be fine. For me however I'll be going back to Mac paint pot as this is super effective for me.

I am someone who has really bad oiliness on my eye lids and this helped me a lot to make my eye shadow stay in place. Back in the days when this product didn't exist, my eye shadow just doesn't stay in place and it's just so bad. I am happy to be using this product with whatever eye shadow brand I use it just works well.

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.

A sample of this was included when I bought the original naked palette and I've been using it since. I find it works best when I apply a little bit at a time and pat it onto my eyelid until it starts feeling a little tacky. I have super oily eyelids (and deep-set eyes) and my eyeshadow lasts all day without fading or creasing.

I got this primer as a sample in my beauty loop box from Meccca and it is amazing! I love the texture and it goes on nicer than my morphe eyeshadow primer. I intend on switching to this one for when my Morphe one runs out.

I got a mini of this in my Mecca Beauty Loop Box and I really like it. Prior to using it, I didn't use any sort of eyeshadow primer (sometimes a bit of concealer) but it definitely helped keep my shadow in place.

I have hooded eyes so creasing is an issue especially when I do more editorial or bold looks and I found this primer to keep it from creasing for the whole day of wear.

It's quite hard to remove in my opinion, it takes me a lot longer than when I don't wear primer and it's hard not to pull my eyelid when removing.

I do think that the full size is quite pricey, so I don't use it for everyday simple looks, it feels like a waste. I'd still like to find a cheaper alternative to compare and I'm sure there's many out there, but overall I do think this is a very good primer.

this product is a staple in my collection, i do a lot of colourful eye looks and this helps create a nice base for my eyeshadow. i have noticed that pairing it with high quality shadows help the performance however, would recommend this product.
