I use to work for Dior and they used the "Dior Eye Show" as a base. It's a creamy eyeshadow. I used it and loved it. It comes in many shades, and I have the common black and white one. It makes your eyeshadow more vibrant when you use the white one, and dramatic looking when you use the black one. (the other colors and gorgeous as well)
My lids crease a lot!!! And this stopped the creasing. It supposively makes your eyeshadow water proof as well, but I have taken that to the test yet. I just know I love it!!
Oh it's pretty pricey too, but a little goes a long way!!!

Soo... this is kinda embarassing, but I went back to Sephora to give UDPP onnnnnne more try.
Low and behold, it did NOT look ashy. It did NOT alter the e/s. And I actually liked it. So what the heck happened you ask?
Well, I think the first time I accidently tested the concealer NOT the UDPP! So I take back all thebad things I said about.
(But hey, they *do* look a like) lolok, not really!

I recommend Urban Decay Primer Potion for people who don't get oily lids only.
I use MAC Matte cream when i'm working, it prevents creasing, it makes the colors stay all day, and it's great for oily skin because it's also an oil control cream. I also use it as a skin primer before studio fix powder, it's the best product I've ever used!!
i don't use paints or paint pots as much as a primer, i use them to make the eye shadows pop a bit more.

I ADORE Urban Decay's Potion Primer.
My eyelids are super oily and my eyeshadow used to crease within 30 minutes of applying it. Seriously. It really smooths out the entire lid, and I wear it even when I'm not putting any eyeshadow on to give my eyes a smoothed and matte appearance.
I just recently enabled my aunt over the weekend and she really likes it so far.

I use UDPP too! its lovely. It makes my eye shadows more vibrant and last really long! Totally impressive. But one thing is their weird packaging which makes it hard to get the primer out and also the fact that it does not really control very oily eye lids. My friend has it, and she tried mine. The eye shadow creases but not as bad as no primer.

I've just recently started using eye shadow primers, but have not been able to talk myself into spending the money for UDPP. For now I'm using L'Oreal decrease and I see a major difference. I do have really oily lids and it's helped tons. I also occasionally use HiP Paint in secretive that works pretty good for me as well. I think I got both of them at CVS or Target for under 10 bucks (each).

i think udpp is rocking. i used mac paint pots, paints, shadestick wadever LOLL u name it.
udpp always goes on first. i have super oily lids. if i dont use udpp everything crease in 15 mins. yeapz.
but one thing about udpp, itz quite difficult to blend if u juz pack on eyeshadow. i always use a base color like e.g corn shadestick over udpp or painterly paint pot over udpp
OR use a e/s or pigment over udpp before packing on any colors for easy blending. i usually use neutral colors like vanila, provence or naked

primer for the eyes
Hi,
I am fairly new to mac. I just bought a paint (bare canvas )and it is very light. Originally , I went to the mac store to purchase the primer for the eyes. I need something before the eyeshadow ( a base). Should I use a primer, the paint (which colour do you recommend?) or the paint pot. Sorry I am so new with MAC and appreciate your help.
thank you

Re: primer for the eyes
Although they seem to be disappearing, shadesticks make a good base, especially Beige-ing.
Paints and paint pots also work well as a base under eyeshadow.
Not a MAC product, but Urban Decay Potion Primer is my go-to primer for guaranteed non-creasing action, although the MAC products are much better at giving the eyeshadow colors a boost in intensity.

Re: primer for the eyes
It's my quest in life to find the perfect primer. I think it totally depends on if you have oily lids, normal or dry. For oily, I'd say the bare canvas or stillife paint is good or shade stick (beijing is my favorite), normal all the MA's are saying paint pots these days, I'd try to get something with a shimmer if I were you. I have dry lids so I use the cream shadow called Pearl with beijing shade stick and it's working pretty well. I know a lot of girls here like the Urban Decay Prep and Prime but I thought it was too moist and creased.
Does that leave you utterly confused? Just my experience. Hope it's helpful.

Re: primer for the eyes
ok so i can say that i have gone through different primers, the best one yet is Benefit's Lemon Aid Primer.............. tried Urban Decay primer...yeah its good, nothing against it at all...but man!! this lemon aid just eats the cake... paint pots are good if you are shopping within mac because you can get different color results with different combos, so you can change it up
