@manbeater: if you live in Hawaii too you KNOW how humid it is out here lol and yes it works all day for me and I can get pretty oily. it's hands down the best thing that I've used by far. all of my friends use it too and love it. It's crazy little things you can do with regular household products and stuff.
side note: the last two posts were correct. I think it's important to understand the difference between a primer and a base. a primer goes on first; it prevents creasing of your shadows and is designed to help it last longer, and these would be products such as your UDPP, concealer, or shadow insurance. now a base, such as the MAC paintpots, or NYX jumbo pencils. a base goes on TOP of the primer and is designed to bring out the true value of the color, help them pop more and make sure they hold all day. so can you use both of them, absolutely. the fact that you're using just a base and no primer might be the reason why you're having so much trouble with your shadows. sometimes I see people using primer alone but personally I get the best color payoff and my makeup lasts WAY longer when I use both. hope this helps you hun!
as far as paint pots go, a little bit goes a LONG way, the more you use the more it will crease. use a very light layer...
