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.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion is THE most legendary primer in the beauty industry. Eyeshadow Primer Potion is coveted by makeup artists and makeup junkies alike because it guarantees more vibrant eyeshadow that lasts for 24 hours and NEVER CREASES!
Once you experience its powers (plus how smoothly it glides on – an added bonus) you'll never want to live without it. Original formula dries down invisibly, while Eden, Sin and Greed are shades that can also be worn as shadows or highlighters!

Tips: If you're using a shimmery shadow, apply it directly over the primer without setting it first - this reduces fallout and this way the shadow will really adhere to the lid and the colour will POP! If you're working with mattes, set the primer with a nude toned shadow first so it doesn't go patchy.
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.
Tips: Use your finger to put on it seems to go on nicer than a small brush. Also use a setting powder after the primer for a smoother shadow application :)
I've been wearing makeup every day, for years. In the last 6 months, I keep seeing girls around with the most vibrant, pigmented eyeshadow, and thinking to myself, "why isn't mine like that?". I prefer high end makeup brands with pigmented, buttery shadows. I have copious amounts of eye brushes, and endless techniques to apply it. What am I missing?
The answer? Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I purchased it on a whim, while shopping for skincare at Mecca Maxima. What a game changer! A little bit goes a long way. I apply my favourite shadows on top just as I usually would. But the difference is that when I get in the car after work and sneak a glance in the visor mirror, my eyeshadow still pops.
Thank you Urban Decay!
Tips: Try this in the mini first. It's 5.7g for almost half the price of the full. I've been using it every day for the last 3 months. There's still heaps in the tube.
If you are like me and you love using eyeshadow, any one of these babies will be a staple in your beauty toolkit. Eyeshadow can sometimes be super annoying and getting it to stick AND to have pigment is tough. Applying this primer before eyeshadow gets it sticking ALL DAY. I have never had something that works so well. Best invention ever. Definitely my go to.
Tips: Apply a small amount to eyelid and add more if needed. Put on eyeshadow straight away for extra sticking power.
This eyeshadow primer has been a staple of mine for many years for any eyeshadow look that I do not want to budge. This primer genuinely makes your eyemakeup cry proof, sweat proof, sleep proof and swimming proof. Plus as someone who always has their eyemakeup crease due to hooded oily eyes this is the perfect fix as the makeup stays perfectly all day.
Tips: Make sure to apply this before any other products it may touch as if you do your eyes after doing your face makeup it can cause the foundation ect to come off patchy when applied on top
This was recommended to me by the staff at mecca and it definitely helps eye shadow stick and stay. Unfortunately it is a MISSION to remove and the one that I got is a beige colour so sometimes hard to conceal completely with light colours or less pigmented formulas.
Tips: Colour-less version would be a better choice. But only use if you are prepared to SCRUB later.
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.
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.
Tips: Apply sparingly to the eye lid and pat with your ring finger to help smooth into place
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!
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!
