I know a lot of people swear my this primer. For me it didn't do anything. I bought it and after 2 months in using it, the consistency suddenly changed to watery. I didn't find any difference in my eyeshadow wear on using this product.
Simply doesn't work... not much else to say about this product. I have dry skin but really oily lids. The only eye primer I can get 24-hour wear out of is the MAC Paint Pot. The second runner up would be UD Primer potion.
I received a sample of this with an order from Sephora.
This primer came with a ton of very bold claims on the back, including the very boldest of all -- that 9/10 women said that this was their favourite eyeshadow primer. I had heard many great things about it, and after reading those claims, I was certainly expecting great things.
I have to say, I don't really get the hype. The texture of this is very strange. It's almost...foamy. I can think of no other way to describe it. It's feels like a foamy, souffle-like texture. As I tried to spread it around my eyelid, it took forever for it to blend in. It just kept slipping and sliding around, and I wasn't using too much. Additionally, this isn't the type of primer to add any coverage to the eyelids, which I personally prefer due to my translucent skin -- but this is something I could look past if the primer actually performed.
When I finally got it in place and set it with a powder -- which I do with all of my primers -- I noticed that my eyeshadows didn't blend very well on top. It's almost like the primer was still too tacky, even after setting it with a powder. When applying my eyeshadows, they just kind of stuck down in one place and muddied up, instead of blending out seamlessly.
The best thing I can say about this primer is that it definitely kept my eyeshadow in place. As in, I literally had trouble removing my eyeshadow at the end of the day when typically I don't. I don't like having to rub at my eyes that hard, so this actually turned into another negative for me, not a positive.
Maybe this didn't work for me because of my particular skin type -- I'm not really sure. All I know is I get way better results from the drugstore, and I won't be purchasing a full size of this.
I personally am not a big fan of this primer...I feel like there are better...I like the urban decay ones better. For me even after putting the primer on my eyeshadow still creases and moves... feel like keeps my eye lids more oily then without it.
