Excellent quality eyelid primer

I had never bothered with eyelid primer before trying this but since trying it has become a staple item in my makeup routines. The e.l.f eyelid primer is the only one i've tried so I have nothing to compare it to but I think it is of great quality and does the job it's supposed to. As well as an eyelid primer I also use this product as an under-eye concealer it works wonders to brighten up any darkness under the eyes. The soft applicator wand tip makes application smooth, clean & quick and the formula feels weightless on the skin but provides excellent coverage. This formula is light, creamy and dewy upon application but dries matte. As for the purpose of this product any eye shadow i've used has clung to it beautifully.

I got this product from iherb for $3 which is a super bargain but i would happily pay $10 for it here in NZ it's absolutely worth it.

Tips: Try using this as a concealer too.

An Amazing Primer

I tried using the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer after getting really tired of my eyeshadow constantly fading and creasing during the day. I was very skeptical of eyelid primers actually being effective, but thought I might as well give it a go on recommendation from a friend (and after all it was so cheap!).

Was SUPER impressed by this product. E.l.f. puts out a range of different eyelid primer shades, and I adore the Pearl shade, since it contains a subtle sparkle which is really pretty. The consistency is fine; not too filmy or tacky, applies easily and evenly, dries quickly. And, most importantly, it makes my eyeshadow last ALL DAY with absolutely no creasing or fading whatsoever! This is certainly a miracle product and I will be repurchasing again and again. Reaffirmed my impression of e.l.f. as a cheap, simple, yet punchy company that definitely gives you bang for your buck, haha! :)

e.l.f Eyelid Primer

This is the first eye primer i ever tried and it is so good! I got it for about $3 off iHerb.

Its got quiet a thin consistency and blends very well. It helps my eyeshadow stay on for much longer than usual and helps prevent creasing.

It doesnt really help too much with the pigmentation of my shadows. My eye makeup doesnt always last an entire day with this either.

Is it as good as my too faced or benefit eye primers? no... but it does an amazing job for a fraction of the price.

I would definitely recommend this for anyone on a budget or just starting out

Eyelid primer

I have been using this for a couple of months now and am really happy with how it works.

I do not have overly oily eyelids and don't really have any issues with my eyeshadows creasing. I apply a light layer of this to my eyelids before using powder eyeshadows, it blends out very easily and I feel it gives them more "grip" and makes them longer lasting.

I quite like the packaging of this product however I do often pick it up thinking its my concealer. I has a doe foot applicator which makes the product easy to apply.

This product also comes in a variety of sheer colours

Tips: Purchase on iHerb for $3

Horrible stuff

If you ever get eczema avoid this like the plague. I wore this for one day and as a result had an eczema flare up on my eyelids which was incredibly painful. I felt like my eyelids had been papercut. Even if I didn't react to this I still wouldn't recommend it. It still creases and is the product is thin and watery. I prefer the jordana eye primer 100%

Tips: Buy off iherb for $2. Don't buy it at kmart for $10 as its certainly not worth it.

I couldn't agree more!! $10.00 is such a rip off for an awful product. The Jordana eye primer is awesome, though I can't find it anywhere anymore :(

Fantastic at first

I have (sheer) has a light fleshy pinky nude tone which neutralizes the eyelids and prepares them for the shadows to come. Also spreads on nicely without caking up. Really love this cheap little primer, definitely comparable to high end brands I have tried. The downfall is after a couple of uses this becomes a tad oily on me and no-longer holds my eyeshadow. After 3 uses it is now creasing terribly so it's not the primer for me and not worth repurchasing even if it's so cheap just as it's a waste of money to have to keep throwing them out.

YES!

this stuff not is super cheap but looks very pretty makes your eye shadow last all day and I can wake up and still have on my eye shadow. It lasts forever on your face and through the bottle. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this! SHOCK HORROR

Tips: Don't apply to much and blend with a fine foundation brush or finger. Put the primer onto the finger so no contaminants go onto the brush of the primer and back into the bottle

Favourite primer

This is the first eye primer I have ever used, and I have repurchased once already. I love that this comes in a slim case, and I keep it next my eyeshadow palettes so that I remember to use it before applying eyeshadow. This primer is very creamy, but has a thin consistency. It is easy to apply and you only need a small amount. I find the best way is to dot this on the eyes using the applicator, then use your finger to blend in. This eyelid primer helps your eyeshadow stay in place all day, and is especially good if you have oily skin as it helps the eyeshadow stay put. I recommend this to anyone who has not tried an eye primer before, or is looking for a cheaper alternative. This tube will last you a long time and after using this you will not go back to eyeshadow without primer!

e.l.f Eyelid Primer

I bought this item from the states so it only cost 1.00 or $3.00, I can't remember but I am super glad I didn't buy it for 10.00 as I would have been extremely disappointed.

I'm not a huge eyelid primer person as I don't get oily lids and products seem to go on my lids fine without it, maybe thats why I didn't think too much of this product..

I find this to be a very basic product. I notice no difference in my eyeshadow pigment when I am wearing it. I also don't notice any difference with it increasing the longevity of my eyeshadows.

I own the Urban Decay primer and that one is amazing and brings out the shadow pigments. The ELF primer personally does nothing for me.

Oh and it's also cheaply made my lid broke the first day I got it.

Fantastic!

This was the first eye primer I ever brought and tried, I honestly wasn't expecting much as it's only $1 but I had heard/read some pretty good reviews on it so I thought "why not". I was utterly impressed with this little tube of goodness, it's affordable and it does the job! What more could you want? I have oily eyelids and this works perfectly on them, it keeps my shadow in place and doesn't crease or fade. The only thing is that this doesn't last more than 5 hours on my oil slick lids so I tend to only wear this if I'm going to course or out shopping, for dinner - somewhere I know I won't be at for a long period of time.

Tips: Don't apply more than one swipe on each eyelid, you can over apply this product which makes the eyeshadow sit unevenly on top of it, it will look dry and cakey too. Let the formula sit for about 30 seconds before blending it out and then let it dry completely before applying shadow otherwise you won't be able to blend anything.
