silly question about UD primer
I`ve scored mine on ebay, and I wonder what color it should be? I have been expecting it to be clear, but it looks more like a light foundation .Is it right?  Thanks!

Re: silly question about UD primer
Mine is certainly not clear...kind of opaque white?

Re: silly question about UD primer
Yes, its like a light foundation. I wouldn't say opaque white, but more like a MAC NW15 or so. Hope that helps!

Re: silly question about UD primer
Agree with the above. ^ ^ Also, if you've ever seen MAC's paint in Bare Canvas, it resembles that also.

Re: silly question about UD primer
I don't think mine has an odor. Mine is the color of a very pale foundation, too.

Re: silly question about UD primer
Mine doesn't have an odor (I don't think -- or I haven't noticed it since I'm not paying much attention). On me it's a barely-there colour when I apply it (I am of a darker complexion, by the way). You're only supposed to use a little, little bit and it's true, a little really does goes a long way.
UDPP is my HG allover eyeshadow base. I don't know how I lived without it.

well, thanks firs of all and if you can`t live without, so I suppose you will use it soon, so just please smell it for me  . Mine doesn`t have a noticable odor when you open it or something, only when you smell it on purpose. I am just suspicious (maybe too much) because it`s from ebay. Thanks in advance.

Re: silly question about UD primer
I just opened mine and it does smell like mascara now that I think about it! lol.
It looks like a light foundation to me too. At first I put too much on, and it was noticably too light on me, then I used less and it blended in perfectly with my skin, but evened out my eyelid's skintone at the same time.
I got mine from Sephora months ago, and yours sounds 100% legit too. Enjoy!

Re: UD Primer Potion ROCKS!!!
This stuff is AMAZING. I'm 28 years old, and I despaired of ever keeping my eyeshadow on all day without having to reapply. Until now.

Re: UD Primer Potion ROCKS!!!
I am always shocked when someone says this doesn't work for them as I find it the most amazing product ever. It took me several months of using it nearly everyday, even without e/s to use up one tube.
For me the trick is using the wand to slather it all over the lids and under lid and then I gently rub it in. Some people say they let it dry for a while but I usually just start applying e/s and it seems to work fine.
Its excellent for days when you don't wear e/s but wear e/l to keep the liner from transfering to your eye crease.
Cons: If it dries on your lashes it can make mascara application difficult. If you make mistakes or smudge your mascara/el onto the UDPP accidently it can be hard to remove so quick attention is required and sometimes reapplication to fix these problems.

Re: UD Primer Potion ROCKS!!!
darn darn darn darn darn
I had a tube of this a while ago and stopped using it cos it made my left eye smart and water (just one eye, isn't that wierd?) - but felt it was an amazing product, nonetheless.....
About a week ago, I decided to give UDPP another go after a reasonable "break" (figuring I might have done something stupid, like been using too much, etc), and for the first few days I was fine, but now.... weepy left eye ahoy!!! Grrrrrr.....
Paints and fluidlines never do this to me....

Re: UD Primer Potion ROCKS!!!
I finally bought some of this after all the raves, and most of the times I've used it, it's worked GREAT! However, there have been a few times my eye shadow has creased - very shortly after application. Am I letting it dry TOO much?
Also - anyone have tips on BLENDING shadows with UDPP? This stuff works so well, it really makes blending difficult. LOL.
I'm interested in learning more about that Monistat stuff as a base, too. Is it true you can use it ALL over your face, as well? Are there any contraindications in regards to using it in your eye area?

Re: UD Primer Potion ROCKS!!!
Use very little of the UDPP. I've found that it creases immediately and makes blending a challenge if you use too much.

Re: UD Primer Potion ROCKS!!!
yes, yes, yes for UDPP!! i never put on my e/s without it . . . i crease like a &%^$# in no time flat without it . . . i can go to work, the club, fall asleep, and wake up in the morning with VIBRANT lasting color . . . amazing . . . i'm on my second bottle of potion . . . i was literally SCRAPING the other one
as for girls with darker skin tones . . . it works just as well on me, no chalky-beigy-ness
