Spackle ?

I have read through a few of the older posts and product reviews but I am still a little confused. What is the original Spackle on the Laura Gellar product page? I see all kinds but can't figure out the original in the packaging. thanks!

As far as I can determine, this is one product that does nothing. It seems to have been developed just to have something else to sell.

I use eye lid spackle and my eye shadow is the color it's supposed to be.

My eyes are deep set and I could never keep shadow from building up in the crease! Ouch!!!

@hellokitty The original just says Spackle Cream Under Makeup Primer - no other extra words such as SPF, moisturizing, hydrating, etc.

@Kachina624 @hellokitty I don't see the need for a primer either. By the time I do my serum, moisturizer & SPF, I'm ready for a 5 minute makeup and done. No way am I adding another step. Thank God my hair is naturally curly. It air dries while I'm getting ready...no blow drying, flat ironing for me...fairly low maintenance.

I think primer helps my MU last longer and I use Spackle moisturizing primer because I'd use moisturizer anyway.

I tried Laura's Spackle and returned -- it did nothing. I use Mally's which does keep make-up looking good longer. I also use Dimitri's Skinn Orchid primer. I still like Mally's better. I've used Smashbox which was good but not better than Mally's. I do need a lid primer as I have oily lids and need some primer help there. I like Laura Geller and have tried her make-up but don't have much luck with it.

Used to use Spackle and Dr. DEnese SPF but switched to the IT CC foundation in a tube: saves 5+ steps.

Use Dr.D hydrating serum, IT CC foundation but on the eyelids I only use IT BB under eye concealer. I use this on both upper and lower eye area: it does not migrate to the crease area ( large eyes ) and totally covers any darkening of the skin. It actually looks like eye shadow, nice and matte. Stays perfect till bedtime.

HTH with quick makeup routines.

I've used Spackle for at least 5 years and will rebuy it when I run out. I used Smashbox a long time ago, then didn't use primer for a few years, but I've stayed with Spackle ever since I started using it and that's mainly because it works. My makeup looks just as good at the end of the day as it does when I first apply it in the morning. I reapply lip gloss during the day, but I never have to touch up my makeup.

I always used the regular version (Laura Geller Spackle Cream Under Makeup Primer), but I switched to her Supercharged version about a month ago. It has antioxidents and other ingredients that I thought might help now that I'm over 50. The other difference is Supercharged is slightly tinted yet I don't notice that it's added any color to my face once it's applied.

I think the key to Spackle is to use a small amount, otherwise it's too wet and takes too long to dry. When I used the super size bottle, I only used a half pump because a full pump was way too much product.

The only think I don't like about the Supercharged version is that it comes in a white tube. I wish the tube was clear so I could tell when it's running low so I know when to reorder.

Thanks to all that took the time to reply. I will take all your comments and suggestions and do some more research. I am tired of wasting money on products that don't work on me.
