Urban Decay
Eyeshadow Primer Potion is one of the most popular eye primers. I’ve had my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
for almost a year now, and I love it.
Pros:
Long lasting - My
eyeshadow lasts a lot longer when I wear primer. What I love about this primer is it allows
you to wear drugstore eyeshadow without worrying about it not being long
lasting. It claims to keep your
eyeshadow on for 24 hours, but my eyeshadow hasn’t lasted longer than 10 hours
at times. If you use high end eyeshadow
with the primer it might last for 24 hours, but I don’t think most drugstore
eyeshadow would. I do have oily eye lids
so that plays a factor in how long your eyeshadow lasts.
Vibrant- It makes
your eyeshadow more vibrant because it creates a base for the eyeshadow and
it’s easier to build the color.
Goes on smooth- It
has a creamy texture and it goes on smooth.
Different colors- It
has four different colors to choose from:
Greed (gold), Sin (shimmering champagne), Eden (matte tawny), and Original
(sheer nude).
Use it instead of
eyeshadow- You can use the colored primers as eyeshadow if you only want
one color.
A little goes a long
way- It only takes a little dab of product to cover each eye. I’ve had mine for over a year, and I still
have enough left for a couple more months.
I don’t use it every day since I don’t wear makeup every day, but if you
did, it should still last for quite a while.
It has great reviews-
Before I’m willing to spend over $15 on a makeup product, I usually check
the reviews to see what other people think about it, and I go to a store and
get a sample. That way I can be sure I’m
buying something that will work with me.
Moderately priced- For
one squeeze tube with .37 oz., it’s only $20.
For some people that might be a splurge, but it’s totally worth it!
Cons:
The old tube was very flimsy.
I dropped it once and that container cracked and the product oozed out
when I used it. I dropped it another
time and it cracked in half. I had to
put the product in another container because it starting drying out. They made new squeeze tubes since then which
I’ve heard work much better. That’s been about my only complaint besides the
one I said earlier about drugstore makeup not lasting as long as they claimed.
Overall I still
love this primer and it works so much better than going without one. Once it runs out, I’m pretty sure I’ll be
repurchasing.
Do any of you guys
use an eyeshadow primer? If so what brand and how do you like it? Let me know
in the comments!
