I recently replaced the Too Faced? Glitter Glue with NYX Glitter Primer since the GG had been discontinued and I read that the NYX was a good dupe.  At the same time, I picked up the NYX Ultimate Shadow & Liner Primer since I was also getting low on my regular eyeshadow primer.  

 

I like the NYX Glitter primper, but the NYX Ultimate is too grabby for me.  Looking for Recs.

I bought a glitter glue off Moira cosmetics. Works perfectly fine I think. Around 6 dollars. Is if that's all you get you have to pay shipping.

@Icegoddess  -  What about Wet & Wild or Elf shadow primer?

 

Amazon has W & W for 4.98 and Elf for 7.00.  Milani for 6.77.

I've used the Milani eyeshadow primer and it's worked fine.  Now I'm using MAC Painterly shadow in the pot and like it better.

@Icegoddess   Most stick shadows that say waterproof or long lasting also are a great primer. I use a cream colored one from Laura Mercier, but I can also wear it alone on "no makeup makeup days". Any light neutral shade that you find in Ulta, drugstore or Target, etc. will work fine. I also use MAC Painterly in a pot like @JudyL .

 

***I will put a light dusting of setting powder over it if using powder shadows.  If I put a cream shadow it isn't needed.

I use Mac BARE STUDY,  which gives my lid and up to my brow a beautiful glow.

I've used NARS for years. During covid, it was pretty much impossible to find so I tried other brands. Nothing could compare. I've learned my lesson and keep two extras in my HBA closet. I'm in my 70s and my eyelids are pretty hooded now. My eyeshadow and liner stays on all day long. I spend a few hours a day on the computer and am an avid reader so those lids get quite the workout.
