e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I think this eyelid primer is great for the price. It does leave a white cast on the lids so be sure to blend it out well. It may also look a bit patchy and powdery. Does improve the longevity of your liquid eyeliner and your eye shadows and is almost like a concealer in hiding veins and red eyelids. Would definitely recommend this to beginners and people on a budget.

Super good product for the price.

I like the way its like a lipgloss brush that you just apply to your eyes and then rub in with fingers. It spreads super easy and I found it didnt dry out on my dry eyes!

Works pretty well, helps makeup set and last pretty okay. Would recommend for the price but still am on the search for a better eye primer product.

I've purchased this eye primer a few times from Iherb for about $5 and doesnt disappointed. I always purchase the colour champagne and it doesnt add any extra colour to the eye, it just creates a neutral base.

I almost never wear eyeshadow (just dust my blush brush over my eyes) because I have hooded eyes and any crease look will just smudge and get lost as soon as I blink, but when I do wear an eyeshadow (its always just one colour on the lid) I like to use this primer.

I apply this primer when I apply my makeup primer and then do my hair because it will have about 10 minutes to rest of my face. It creates a velvet like coat on your lid that isnt greasy but the eyeshadow will cling to it.

I just apply a single one coat of eyeshadow but this primer will ensure that eyeshadow isnt running off my face and also makes sure that it doesnt crease. That is the worse part of hooded eyes when you eyeshadow gathers into your crease of makes this greasy moist line on the eyes... The embarassment. Well, be assured that this primer wont allow that to happen.

I dont use it often but I see no reason to buy a more expensive eyelid primer when this cheap primer does exactly what I need.

I got this from my local Kmart when ELF he just arrived in NZ. I was excited to try this primer as other primers hadn't worked for me and I was so disappointed...not only was it lumpy, it had an odd consistency. I applied this to my eyelids before my eyeshadow and it made my eyeshadow super difficult to blend. This product is definitely not for me! Don't think I'll purchase it again.

I bought this off iHerb for approximately $3, which in essence is an awesome bargain. I guess I shouldn't expect much for a product that costs $3 but with all the hype behind the brand e.l.f I guess I did expect a little bit more.

I thought the packaging was good, and a sponge applicator is an easy way to apply the product, But, I don't know if it was just my sponge applicator or if it's how they're made but the plastic bit of the wand was poking through the sponge applicator which made it hard to apply without feeling it scrape against my eyelid.

I also found the product didn't blend very well, it almost was staining. I didn't enjoy using it at all.

On a good note it smelt yummy!

I purchased this in 3 different shades and found it to work great for me. I am partial to an oily eyelid part way through the day, so found this is great for helping to minimise that and to keep my eyeshadow in place all day.

One thing I did find was that the applicator, although good does make it a bit difficult to grab all the product from the tube.

I bought this off iherb great price so i figured why not. Its in a lipgloss like tube with a wand which i liked, I found it was easy to apply and smooth over the eyelid. However I feel it's just an extra product to cake on for no real purpose. My shadow didn't last longer, look bolder, blend smoother or anything. So it was sort of like... WHY??? I had to give it a few goes, clearly to give a good review and I just don't see the point in it to be completely utterly honest, it just takes up space in my routine i could use perfecting something else

Got this from makeup.co.nz cost was $4. I've never really needed to use primer as I pretty much pack the shadow on so much that by the evening it looks like how I wanted the shadow to look.I did however put a flat matte white over my lids prior to any colours. Recently I've been using the Rovie primer and liked how it made my lids flat. I have a prominent scar on 1 lid which has discolouration and now I realize the purpose primer serves me. Running low on Rovie and having used a sample pack of Urban Decay I purchased this,as my back up.

It has cheap packaging a tube with a wand doe foot applicator great. It is in the light colour and sits on my lids nicely. The formula is a cream type and neautral in colour it's thin in consistency, not sticky just really like a cream, which seems to be different to the prior primers I used. I do notice it flattens out my lids colour and provides a nice base however it doesn't make blending out shadows a breeze it's as if there's nothing on my lids. Previous brands helped with the shadows blending and really emphasized the colour this Elf doesn't do that. Big ups for the base it provides but as for enhancing or providing help with shadow application. It gets a thumbs to the side not totally down but to the side

I reckon for the price it's not surprising what it provides in performance. But all in all I'm happy with the purchase $4 how can you expect amazing quality with that price....? I would buy this if I was tight for money and ran out of primer but it wouldn't be my ultimate choice if primer.

I found this on iherb when shopping for other elf cosmetics. And thought I'd give it a go. When it came in the mail my first impression was how cheep it looked. That never fased me. The next mornining when putting on my makeup I applied the eye primer and then the rest of my eye makeup. Weird consistency and not really any help to my shadow. But I thought maybe it'll make them last a long time... Nope. Got to noon and my eyeshaddow was totally creased. Honestly it was only $3 but a total waste of time... Don't recome it at all

Let me preface by saying that this is the only eyelid primer I have used, so I don't really have anything else to compare it to. So I can't say if it's better/worse than other brands, but I can say that I really do love it :)

I like that the formula is quite thin and sheer. I already have enough product on my eyelid, I don't need a thick, heavy primer as well. The colour I have (Sheer, a pinkish colour) is quite nice on its own to even out any redness on my lids wen I'm not wearing eyeshadow. I notice that it definitely helps the colours show up better, especially when I wear something shimmery, and it makes it last way longer. Without the primer, my everyday eyeshadow lasts about 6-7 hours and with this, it would probably be on the next morning if I didn't wash it off.

I think this is a great product, especially for the price.
