Pleasantly Surprised
This is the first eye shadow primer that I have ever used, and so far I am very impressed. I had never really put much thought into using one because I do not have oily eyelids and have never had much of an issue with my powder eye shadows creasing. However, I decided to try this product because I had recently purchased some of the NYX jumbo eye pencils for days when I didn't want to spend too muc...read moreh time on my eye makeup and found that after a few hours the color had creased up or mostly gone away. I tried using this primer underneath and the results were fantastic! The color showed up so much more vibrantly and lasted longer than I ever expected. After having such success with using it under a cream-based shadow, I decided to try it with my normal powder shadows. This is when I realized that I absolutely LOVED this product. Not only did my eye shadows (both higher end and cheaper quality) show up so much more nicely, but the color lasted so much longer! I had never realized how much color I was losing over the course of the day until I used this. By 11pm, my eye makeup looked just as it had when I applied it at 7am. There are a couple of reasons that I have given this an 8 rather than a 10. Though my bottle is still relatively new and full, I can see that eventually I am going to have problems getting all of the product out of the tube. At such a high price for a relatively small amount, I am concerned that I will not be able to get everything I paid for out of the tube. Also, I found that it makes blending with powder shadows slightly difficult. While it looks fantastic under a single layer on my lid, I had some trouble blending my crease shadow into a natural look. I have only had a chance to try this product in the original color, but I have ordered the colors Sin and Eden. I tried them in the store and Sin especially had such a lovely champagne-glow to it and seems like it would really brighten up some of the shades in the Naked Basics palette from Urban Decay that I use almost every day.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

The best
Love this product. Not only does it work as A great long lasting base for eyeshadow, but I also use it as a base for my eye brows before using nyx eyebrow cake powder, and my brows look great all day. I have repurchased this several times and I will continue to do soThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great but expensive
This definitely prolongs my eyeshadow wear and helps it blend and show up more pigmented. It's everything you could want in a primer. If only it was cheaper :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Nice Primer
I overall like this primer. I like that it comes in different shades too in case you want to mix it up a bit. I don't however think that this is the best primer out there. I am still on the hunt for the primer that will keep my eye shadow from creasing on my super oily eyelids :(This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

love this stuff
This is such a great product! I have very oily eyelids and this primer actually keeps the eyeshadow on my eyes. It's a great mix to add glitter to your eyes as well like as a glitter eyeliner. Keeps everything perfectly in place!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Absolutely necessary for oily skin
I have tried other eyeshadow primers and nothing worked like this one. It is perfect for my incredibly oily eyelids and always makes my eyeshadow stay better. I have two colors, one nude that I wear under eyeshadow and one shimmery one that I wear alone as shadow--makes my eyes look brighter and lasts all day!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
