Eyeshadow Primer?

kwkelley — Sun, 26 Jun 2016 18:30:42 GMT

I love Stila Prime Pot eyeshadow primer but it is no longer avaialble and I just finished the last of my supply. It was a nice nude shade that really evened out the color of the eyelids and lasted all day. Can anyone recommend another eyeshadow primer you love?

MAC painterly paint pot or Urban Decay primer potion.

I LOVE Laura Geller's Invisable Eye Primer. Just the amount of a straight pin head is enough for both of my eye lids.

I never knew life without creases before it.

I had to get it from Ulta. It hasn't been on Q for a while.

BE or Urban Decay. UC is a better buy; much more for your money.

Lots of good primers have been suggested. Since you specifically mentioned evening out the color of the eyelids, I'd like to recommend Bare Minerals 5 in 1 BB Advanced Performance cream eyeshadow. On QVC, it is sold in a set/kit, but you can buy it separately at Ulta and Sephora and BareMinerals. Different shades are available. I have been using this for quite a while and it's really good!

(By the way, some of the reviews say that they could not get all the product out. I'm sorry, that's not true, you just pull out the inner collar and you can get to ALL of the product! Even if you have to use something longer to get to the bottom, you can get it ALL out. I used one up and now use the applicator and "bottle" as an on-the-go lipstick brush.)

Urban Decay - the anti-aging formula. It is even better than the original formula!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer or Benefit's Air Patrol primer in order of my preference.

@TasMss Thanks for the tip. I've been trying to find a way to get to the bottom of mine.

Love this brand and I am a makeup snobb. The items are highly pigmented and are just good.

Trish McEvoy has a good one, a little $$$ but good.

For my eyelids I was using the MAC Painterly paint pot, but it only lasted about 8 hrs on me which is okay on some days, but the MAC 24 hour eye base is even better!!! I will not be without it!

Urban decay, as popular as it is - dries my lids out to the point of peeling and wrinkling - it looks AWFUL. I won't purchase again. I have to use very sparingly only on the lids, and not above. I would suggest trying the anti-aging as i hear it is more moisturizing if you have dry skin.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I prefer a pigmented primer as I like to even out the color on the lid before applying eyeshadow. There are some great suggestions and I will check them all out. Thanks again!
