Best eye primer????
I'm updating up kit and stuck with which is the best eye primer. All the blog reviews find its a battle between too faced, nars, urban decay and mac, thoughts? I tend to not listen too much to blogs as they only now what works best on their skin not what works best on all skin types which is what you need in a kit. I was looking between nars and urban decay but heard they tend to be hard to blend with nars sometimes having a fly paper effect. HELP!!!!!

The paints (rather than the pots) have a subtle sheen. The staying power is fairly good, not amazing, and they don't interfere with blending at all. If someone has vey oily lids I layer a small amount of Lime Crime eyeshadow helper underneath a paint. But if there's any wrinkling or crepey skin around the eye, give the primer a miss - it'll only emphasise texture as it dries.

Now I have oil slicks for lids & nothing has worked to keep my eye makeup looking awesome till Karrie Welch sent me this stuff. I can now safely wear a black smokey eye & it doesn't turn into a hot creased mess. Also, I did a huge no-no & slept in my eye makeup. Woke up looking fabulous. Oct 12 13 11:55 pm Link i've got both the mac paint pots and urban decay primer.. both are really good but i've noticed that the mac paint pots are better under matte shadows whereas the urban decay one is better under the shimmery/ sheen eyeshadows kelly x Oct 15 13 05:22 am Link Urban Decay works really well for me. My lids are really oily and shadows crease within 2 hours, UD keeps it smooth for 10 hours - 8 if it's really humid. Oct 15 13 11:05 am Link I use nars for matte/clean looks, since it's white and blends and disappears in to the lid with no colour left over. I haven't had any problems with it Oct 15 13 11:48 am Link I am an Urban Decay Primer Potion groupie!! This stuff has changed my makeup life! I am typically one that searches and searches for "the one" and really never satisfied (mascaras, foundation, etc...) but this stuff I have never strayed from. I have been using it for gosh 8 years or so now and I'm not sure I'd be willing to switch... The new packaging now allows you to get all of their product out, whereas the cute little genie bottle looking package left you losing out on quite a bit of product. Good luck on your search!

I spray a setting spray on a blending brush and "brush" my lids. let dry, then add ooo-la-la primer product , shadow, blend, shadow, blend. Spray with setting spray. Nov 22 13 08:54 pm Link I use Mac paints and UD and love both!! Nov 23 13 03:49 pm Link I love both UD primer potion and MAC paint pots. I'll use a black paint pot for a very dramatic, vampy, or smokey look; if I'm doing something that is lighter/natural I'll usually stick with UD. And if someone is oily I'll always use UD and then a paint pot on top. Nov 23 13 08:22 pm Link I use Shadow Insurance for clients going to an event, but on set I just use concealer. Nov 28 13 12:37 pm Link I've used UD and Too Faced. They were okay, but UD broke down too quickly on oily lids and they both would get a little pasty, especially on women of color. I have been using LORAC's, and is goes on completely sheer. I didn't like it at first, because I was using the same quantity I was used to with UD and TF and is was too much. Less is more. When applied sheerly, it is gorgeous and lasts all day. Nov 29 13 04:34 pm Link KELLYMUA wrote: I second this. Dec 06 13 04:13 pm Link |
