Re: eye primers.. I get confused.. "hush" cream colour base or "bare canvas" or "perk

^^^

Hush is not a good base for oily lids. You can use it as a highlighter instead.

I also like Paint Pots as a base - Painterly is a great neutral color. I also like Delft, Greenstroke or Rollickin'.

Re: eye primers.. I get confused.. "hush" cream colour base or "bare canvas" or "perk

Yep - I tried hush a few weeks back, and it did crease on me, and i have super dry skin and lids...
Paint pots are magic, as is bare canvas.
Lately ive been using bare canvas and bare study paint pot over, for some extra glimmer, and the staying power is fantastic.
Also Rubenesque is a lovely colour if your looking for peachy coloured bases.
Try the ccb - maybe it will work for you, but not much creases on me, and this did...

i like to use Two Face Shadow Insurance in conjunction with paint pots or a cream eyeshadow. i find using the primer helps make a seal against the oil from the skin and the base makes the colors more vivid and really pop and both make the shadow stick like crazy. and maybe im crazy but i swear Shadow Insurance makes mine waterproof too.

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

Without a doubt, I'd totally recommend Urban Decay Primer Potion.
It really works for me, and I have very oily lids.

It keeps my colour on all day without creasing

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

I have been using Clinique Touch Tint for Eyes in Natural Suede ever since I began using MU. It lasts forever and I have never had any creasing.

A lot of people highly recommend UDPP, and for a while I considered it. Then I realized that there is no need to shell out extra money when I am in love with the primer I already have!

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

I love Urban Decays Primer Potion. I've tried the paints and they were okay- but UDPP is amazing.

I've heard Too Faced's new Make-up insurance is just like UDPP.

It is. The only difference I've found is TF's is not as ashy on darker skin. It rubs in cleaner.

Then I have to buy this- it's so much more sanitary to use on another people since it's in a squeezey tube.

Thanks!

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

I used to use Benefit's FY... Eye! but my pot is getting old and starting to separate so I need to toss it. I'm thinking about picking up the UDPP to try instead of getting another pot of FY... Eye since I've been hearing such rave review. Until then I'm solid with my MAC Paint in Bare Canvas.

Weirdly enough, I got some MAC Prep + Prime on my lids and one day and my e/s creased in like five seconds. I was not impressed.

UD Primer Potion is the best... My makeup stays on all day, no crease. I recommend you try it.

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

I did use UDPP but found that my oily lids were ending up with dry patches on them. I'm now using ArtDeco and find its ok. Not buying another one though. I'm waiting til this runs out as I need to stop jumping on the bandwagon and spending money I don't have!

Re: Problem with my eyelids!

you have beautiful, almond-shaped eyes, and please don't hate your fold! just use a darker shadow over it and it will be fine..
I usually prime my eyelids with Bare Study paintpot from lashes to brow.

Re: Problem with my eyelids!

Your eyes look almond shape to me. I have that same fold and a nice little tip is to use a dark or medium MATTE color on the fold. It helps to give the look of depth. Using a shimmery color on the fold will reflect light and I feel that it accentuates the lack of crease.

Embrace your fold (lol) and try this little trick , let me know what you think!

I also have the foldy thingy and this is what I do to deal with it. I find I can still use shimmery colours, but they have to be pretty dark. Light shimmery colours make me look terrible But matte is definitely the way to go.

Although I love Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion, I think I also love Art Deco Eyeshadow Base, Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance, and Girlactik Star Base.

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

I dont know if this has been posted, but i cut open my Urban Decay Primer Potion (which i thought was done and was ready to toss) and holy cow, there was sooooooooo much product in there left!! I think the shape of the bottle leaves A LOT of product in the curve and you can't get at it. I seriously can't believe how much i got out...two little sample jars full!!!!!! I just bought a new primer but now im gonna return it!! wooohoo!!!

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

I just bought Urban Decay primer off Ebay, because in Australia we don't have that brand..it's really good! I've never used primer before but this one is light& creamy and I've noticed how much longer my eyeshadow stays on for!

True, it doesn't have much in the bottle but I only paid about $15 for it so it doesn't bother me!

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

Definitely UDPP.

Been using the same bottle for 2 years, of course I did have to cut it open about 3 months in but still, SOOO much product left.

It makes my eyeshadow not only stay, it doesn't crease AND it shows up more vibrant!

Such a keeper.

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

I love Urban Decay Primer Potion, too. I only use a tiny smidge each time, but it keeps even my cheap eyeshadow (I'm just starting to collect the better-quality stuff) where I put it and prevents creasing. My eyelids are typically very oily, too. Love the stuff!

I watched a video on YouTube of someone cutting open their "empty" primer potion bottle and was amazed at the amount still in there! I think this one bottle will last AGES with the tiny bit I use, if I can get all that extra out.

This sounds crazy, but my dad has a woodshop/machine shop workshop behind his house. I'm thinking I might take the bandsaw to the primer potion bottle when it's "empty". I should probably video that...

Re: Favorite Eye shadow Primer

Urban Decay Primer potionn has to be the best! If only the tube was clear so you could see how much product is left.. but nevertheless it's still the best eye shadow primer so far
