UD Primer Potion ROCKS!!!

[LionQueen]

I put mine in two fluidline jars and have had no problems whatsoever - no drying out at all.

I can't live without UDPP. I'd like to try Shadow Insurance sometime though.

[Septemba]

How do cream eyeshadows fare with UDPP? Does it limit their creasing, too?

[bernabeu]

I have very oily eye lids, and other things never worked for me. UDPP is my love.

Great product

[BitBitBabiGirl]

I love this primer! It is my HG of eye primers and i've tried my share.

[pmjc69]

[breakablewoman]

I thought UUPP would be my favourite product ever, but after approximately a year, it has stopped working the way it used to. It creases after a few hours, when it used to stay on for more than 20 hours. What do you think is at fault? The only thing that changed from my routine is putting on eye-cream. (Clinique moisture rich) Do you think putting cream on the lids have made them oily? I've stopped using the cream on the lids, out of fear this might be the reason, but I'm afraid my lids have become incredibly oily. How can someone have such oily lids when nowhere else in my face am I oily? This is getting really frustrating. I used to be able to get away with concealer and powder, and my shadows would stay, and now not even UDPP works! And I also have Shadow Insurance and ArtDeco eyebase, but they're not as good as UDPP.

Any advice on how to go back to the lids I had last year? Why has the product stopped working on me? I want to do looks with really defined creases and I can't, because it's going to be a mess there in two hours.

I have used Clinique Moisture Rich and it could be the fact that it is too rich for your eye area that the excess oils sit on your lid and adds to the normal production of oil.

my Advice to you is, put the cream on at night and then just add your moisturizer in the morning without the eyecream. See if that makes a difference.
If you prefer still using the Moisture Rich in the morning, after you place UDPP, try putting a blottig powder or a translucent powder to absorb the oils already present so that it doesnt cause the primer to crease.

[kerasaki]

That's a good idea, thanks! I'll try a little bit of powder after the UDPP and see how it goes. I'll also limit eye-cream to nights. (And next time I'm buying the all about eyes gel cream).

Yes, let it dry completely, or you will not get the right effect. Also, a little goes a long way. I have olive skin, and althought the UDPP is much lighter, it doesn't show up that way on me. Hope this helps.

Hi all, I have a similar question to the ones above: what order to you put everything on in? I use eye cream, foundation, concealer, and now I use UDPP--which I could not LOVE more than I do. It's one of the best beauty products I've ever bought in my life! But-- am I doing it right? I put it on after I do the rest of my routine, including concealer-- should I put it on before all of that? Is there a right or wrong way??

[L1LMAMAJ]

Love UDPP. I was skeptical at first. It seemed too good to be true. I'm glad I finally tried it. Been using it for over 1.5 years and couldn't be happier!

[:+:Karolina:+:]

i finally bought my very first udpp and i dont even know how i ever lived without it!!! lol i just dread the day that i have to depott it!

[LMD84]

i bought my first udpp in the summer last year so it's nearly a year old. i then got a second one at xmas because it came free with a palette (full sized not mini) so used both at once! now my first one that's a year old i thought was finally used up. and i know i'd seen loads of videos showing how much extra product was left but i thought after a year mine really must be empty. but i decided to rip the baby open anyways and oh my! i filled a whole entire mac 5gram jar with the stuff! i've closed the lid super tighth so hopefully it should last a while.

[amabel]

I can't imagine to use any eyeshadow without this primer.

[DILLIGAF]

I use UDPP every single time I put on make on my eyes!!! It is the BEST product I have EVER tired to keep my shadows in place. I depotted my UDPP that came with my UD deluxe palette. I put the UDPP in a MAC sample jar. It's been over 6 months and it has not dried up! Once that is gone I have my back up from ULTA, they had an XL sized bottle for $22 a few months ago. I still use paintpots and shadesticks but you can be sure under all of that there is some UDPP.

How did you go about asking them for the sample jar? Or rather, what did you request to be put in it? Just wondering, thanks!

[zosojacks]

It's life-changing! I used to not bother doing eye makeup because it would always seem to fade after 1-2 hours. But since I tried UDPP I am CRAZY for eyeshadow! Colours are more vibrant and last the whole day. I definitely hacked into the bottle and scooped out the goods into a sample jar.

I haven't tried TFSI, but I don't really feel the need to since UDPP works so well for me. You know what they say: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I've been wondering the same thing! I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. But here's what I do - face primer (I'm using one from Smashbox right now, it's fine, I like it), foundation, concealer, powder. I don't put any of those things on my eyelids though. Then after all that I put the UDPP on my lids and a little bit under on the bottom lashes.

...I also always have a problem with the UDPP getting on my lashes no matter how careful I am. Oh well, I just put mascara on afterwards.

[gigiopolis]

I use eye cream first, but not on the upper lid.

Then UDPP is ALWAYS the first 'makeup' product I put on my eyes...heck, it's the first thing I use period. Even if I'm not using any eyeshadows, I will use UDPP. I am insanely paranoid about creasing, so I make sure UDPP is the first layer on and will subsequently prevent creasing no matter what I throw at it. Now I can apply concealer, powder, eyeshadows, cream eyeshadows, liners...everything is good!

I'm sure I wouldn't crease if I did powder/concealer before UDPP, but I'm still worried. I don't even want to risk it, so UDPP first it is!

[wovendream]

I bought the new Book of Shadows a few days ago. In it was a trial bottle of PP. The samples I've had before have all been in little straight sided bottles and I know a lot of people prefer these to standard size due to the depotting issues with the bottle shape. But, when I opened the bottle the applicator was different to the standard ones supplied. It''s slightly longer and angled so that it reaches most of the product in the bottle, even in the bulb and the base!

Has anybody bought a new PP lately. Was the applicator bent/angled in the standard size bottle too??? Have UD really solved the packaging issues so simply??? Fingers crossed and awaiting everyones findings and comments

[theheidis]

i have both the new curved wand and the old one - I think the new wand will still miss a lot, but it should help get more out. I tried too faced shadow insurance, and it came out all gross every time - watery - as if you have to shake it up every time - returned it....thanks to the boards and youtube I found UDPP - the only urban decay product I'll keep buying

[TrusyMyEyes]

This is already a very long thread. But, I felt it necessary to add that this base is the truth. I am oily...and I have very oily lids. This is the ONLY thing that works. It stops creasing, keeps my look from being oily, and I won't even wear eyeshadow with out it..(Unless, I must wear makeup that day).

[thiscarmen]

UDPP is honestly the best thing ever invented.
I've got extremely oily lids, and this keeps creasing and fading at bay.

I even wear this when I wear eyeliner too. And mascara, so that my lids don't oil up and make my mascara smudgy.
