Re: MAC Paints, Shadesticks or Painpots for base?
paint lasts longer, probably for closer to 12 hours, paint pots are nice and creamier but they last for closer to 7 or 8 hours. and shadesticks, i love, but they crease easily.

Re: Favorite eye shadow primer
I haven't read all the replies in this thread, but I'm very surprised I haven't seen more people mentioning Clinique's Touch Base... I have Petal Shimmer and UpLighting and they are incredible. I have oily lids and deep creases and my shadows stay on great all day with no creasing. They're only about $14 and last forever.
Other than that, I like UDPP as well
EL DW Eyeshadow Base is pretty good, but the Lancome one is horrible... at least in my experience.

I'd have to go with urban decay primer potion-but MAC paint in bare canvas is good too. I'd say try them both and see what you like

I didn't like UDPP much to begin with, I tried Too Faced Shadow insurance and its good but too expensive. I love my MAC paint pots though <3

1) it's "nude" color makes my skin look grey and dead
2) i didn't wait 5 mins for it to dry and it GREATLY altered the color of the powder shadows i tested on top
2.5)i'll never wait 5 mins IRL
3) seamed kinda streaky, and i'm a do-it-with-my finger kinda of gal...
with the prep n prime eye d/c in the deeper colors, i'm back to paints! oh well, it's an oldie but goodie...

Where do you normally find this? I live in a super small college town with no mall so I typically have to stick to things to things you can find in everyday stores unless I want to pay the currently outrageous prices for shipping. so if any of you know some good ones that I can find in a place like that I would appreciate it. I've been looking for the HIP primer Because I heard it was GREAT , But I can't seem to find it anywhere.

If you want a multi-purpose product that is effective in combating creases on the eyes, get a paint pot! I have Rubenesque and it's NEVER allowed shadows to crease. YAY! No more buying $15 bottles of UDPP only to run out in 2 months

Have you tried putting foundation or concealer on your eyelids before applying eyeshadow?
You might want to try the L'Oreal HIP paints.

Problem with my eyelids!
I'm trying to figure out what kind of eye shape I have. They are normal width apart, I think. I thought at first that I had hooded eyes, but when my eyes are fully open, I still can see most of my lid. The fold covers my crease though. Anyway, when I apply a bright color on my lid, eventually the color starts to smudge onto the fold. When I look down, you can see where it has smudged up into my crease area. Here is a picture of my eyes. You can clearly see that little fold. I hate it!!! Please ignore my crazy eye shadow. Lol. I'm trying to learn how to blend dark colors.

There is a huge amount of Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion in the tube, but because the design of the package is so awful, it's very difficult to get out! A lot of girls end up sawing open the end of the container once they get to a point where they aren't able to get out any more product with the wand. There are several videos on You Tube showing girls scooping out ridiculously large amounts of the product, that were unreachable with out cutting the product open.
While I do think the tube is cute, I wish they'd come out with a more practical package.
