Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

In my world of greasy eyelids there is just no comparison to primer potion! My eyelids are so greasy I simply can't get by with out it! It not only prevents my shadows from creasing it gives me a great base to work with. I usually use original (and I couldn't tell you how many tubes I've been through) but it is worth every cent. For me nothing even comes close to matching the quality of this product. And it makes even the cheapest bad quality eye shadows work like a dream.

I LOVE this product! My aunty brought it for me for my birthday and it is the best eye primer I have ever used! I went swimming, rubbed my eyes and my eyeshadow was still going strong :D LOVE IT! The first time I used it, it came out very watery so I recommend each time using it to give it a squeeze and shake around to get the product ready. Also a little goes a long way in this case and using too much will mean the excessive product needs to be wiped off. If I was to describe the consistency it is quite watery at first then it comes out as creamy. I found this didn't have a fragrance to it which is nice! This prodct, although in a small tube, goes a very long way! My sample lasted around 10 usages. I would recommend this to all my friends and when it finally finishes I will rebuy :)

I have gone through a few of these in my time! I love the formula. I even had one of the old packaging when it was in a tube. This is my fav product for making sure that my eyeshadow doesn't budge all day.

The packaging is really good. A small squeezy tube with a funky lid. Once you take the lid off there is a small opening which is great so that you don't push out too much product at a time.

The product itself is a cream, it is a bit thicker than other primers that I have used which I like, it makes it feel more substantial when you are putting it on. It has a bit of a light skin colour to it. I think that is silly as it probably limits the amount of people that can use it. When you smooth it on your eyelid it doesn't show up too much of a shade but I can definitely see that it is there, I imagine that it shows up a lot more if you aren't quite light skinned. When it dries down you can tell that it makes a much smoother surface on your skin. You also only need a tiny amount which is great, it means it lasts a long time. Also because it is in a squeezy tube it doesn't get too much air in there so it doesn't dry out.

Do make sure when you are using this that you use a small amount as I have found when I use too much it creases itself then it is of no use to anyone.

I think that this product does exactly what I expect it to. It says it makes eyeshadow last 24hrs which I don't believe for a second. But it does make my shadows last my working day which is all I expect.

I first tried this primer over a year ago. A friend sent me what was left of hers and there were a few applications left in the tube. I enjoyed using it but then started using an elf primer once it had finished and I thought that was a really good dupe. Anyway, this summer has been so hot and the elf just wasn't cutting it anymore. My lids seemed to be getting really oily in the heat and my eyeshadow that I was so carefully applying in the morning was creasing on me by lunchtime.

I bought a smoked palette and this tube came with it. I will never, again use another type of eye primer. Even on the hottest days, my eyeshadow stays put!

I have the original shade, it's a skin coloured formula that sort of dries invisible-well I can't see it on my lids and I'm reasonably pale. You only need the tiniest amount for both lids so even though it is kind of expensive, it will last a long time. The tube is really easy to squeeze product out and the opening is really small so as long as you don't squeeze super hard, you will get the right amount. The packaging is pretty cool too with a nice purple tube and cute silver lid. I put some on and then let it dry a bit while I do my brows, so maybe 3 minutes or so. I don't notice if eyeshadows are more vibrant with this then compared to other primers but it so lasts the distance. I get no creasing until I wash it off at night.

This is quite a hyped up product but believe me, it does live up to that hype.I'm more of a drugstore/dupe person so if another primer was working for me and was cheaper than I would use that instead, which is why I was using the elf up till now.

I received a mini bottle of this in a set and loved it so much I bought a full-sized.

This primer is a must-have when creating dramatic eye looks, or even if you just want that bit of reassurance that your eye makeup will last all day.

A little goes a long way and it is very easy to blend. Eyeshadows are more vibrant and last the whole day without creasing.

You need to use mascara after using this though, as it turns your eyelashes white if it gets on them, which is hard to avoid.

This was my first eyeshadow primer, and I have to say it has sold me. I would not do my make up for nights out without it. It makes my eye makeup stay literally until the next day (when I'm too lazy to remove it). Could probably go out the next night without even fixing anything! The only issue I had with it was that Urban Decay isn't for sale in New Zealand, that I know of. But it's definitely worth the effort of purchasing.

I love to wear eyeshadow but I have to fix it every hour due to it all moving into my crease. I started using this product and I don't think I will ever not use it again! It hold it's perfectly, it doesn't budge. I no longer need to make a conscious effort to remember to keep an eye on my eyes when I go out because I know they'll be looking good all day/night

This eye primer is amazing! Your eye shadows will last all day and then into the night. The only let down for me is that if you get and primer on your foundation eg. Under your eyes I find it really hard to get off it sort of drys and stays there. I have just learnt to apply it with a small brush and not my finger to get a nice clean application

I love my primer potion! I have the original one and use it all the time. It comes out as a thick but light nude cream and disappears on the lid.

You can really tell the difference when you use primer potion as a base, the eyeshadow sticks more meaning less fall out. Over time there's less or no creasing on the lid and the colour stays more vibrant. I find this so handy as it means I can use the eyeshadows I have that don't have great longitivity on their own.

I recieved a tube of the original formula with the Ammo pallete and was a bit wary as I hadn't used eyeshadow primer before and didn't really know what I was doing. I don't know what I was worried about. This stuff is great. It's a bit thinner than concealers that I have but is slightly opaque so that you can tell you have it on before you apply your shadow. It dries quite quickly so pays to not muck around when you're applying it. I use either my fingertips or a brush, I'm not sure which I prefer yet. But its very lightweight, so you don't feel as though you have masses of products on your eyelids, which is good. Once it's dry and you've applied your shadow, it really helps the colours to stand out and stay where they are. I really notice on the days that I forget to use primer in the morning, my eye colours arent as poppy and they tend to wear off a lot quicker than they do when I have it on. Will definitely be repurchasing this.
