e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

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.

I bought this from Iherb for around $1. I had never used one before so thought I may aswell give it a go. I was pretty impressed. I dabbed a little on my eyelids and then blended it out.It didn't cake which was great. I waited a minute before applying my eyeshadow and it seemed to help keep my eyeshadow stay vibrant and non creasing throughout the day. Would definitely recommend it to lady's with oily eyelids, especially for the price!

I have to admit I was apprehensive about what this product would actually deliver but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. My make up routine has been made even easier. No more faux pas with my shadow or liner. Just no fuss shadow perfection.

I loved this primer, I used the shade sheer, I apply it under my concealer under my eyes and under my eyeshadow. I feel like it helps my concealer not crease and last through the day. I definitely think it helped my shadow last and look better.

I'd gotten this via iHerb - it was very reasonably priced at $3 US. I've never used an eyelid primer before and I thought this would be a good, inexpensive way to see if it was something I'd need.

It comes in a tube with a sponge applicator, which makes it quite handy - no separate brush required.

I found it went on a bit thicker than what I was expecting - I thought it would be almost transparent, but it goes on a bit pink. It doesn't show through or dull the color of the eye shadow at all - it acts really well as a base.

After using it a few times I discovered that I actually like the pink shade of the base, and I've worn it on my lids without applying eye shadow on top - it looks quite pretty and matte.

I'd say that this is a great product, and if you're thinking of trying an eyelid primer this is a pretty good one to start with.

I got this from iHerb, which makes it much more affordable than KMart (given you're getting a few things to make it worth the shipping!) and I really enjoy it - I find that it's nice and thin in consistency and so applies evenly, and really ensures that my eyeshadow (even cream shadows!) doesn't crease. The packaging is nice and simple and has a doe foot applicator.

I had never tried a eyelid specific primer before but this has sold me on them. Before trying this I always got bad creasing and my eyeshadow wouldn't last all day.

Since using this, I've had heaps of comments about how great my eyeshadow looks when previously it would have faded too much to be obvious by the time I got to work. Now my eyeshadow pops and can be seen and admired, even from behind my glasses.

It also helps my eyeshadow last all day. I had few events last Saturday, and so I put it on in the morning with my eyeshadow and my shadow looked great on my lunch date and even though I had a nap during the day, I didn't even have to touch up before I went out that night. Wonderful!!

I do still get a little bit of creasing, but not nearly as bad as before using primer, I honestly I think it might be just how my eye lids are shaped.

Definitely recommend this product and it helps that it's so affordable.

This primer I think does not really work for me. My skin can sometimes be dry and can sometimes be a but oily. If I use this on my eyelids it really feels like I'm putting a bit of light cream on my eye. I found that my shadows still crease and after a few hours literally looks like there's no primer at all. This is a nice cheap product to try but I would properly recommend something a bit better quality or the nyx jumbo eye pencil- they are cheap and really good bases.

ELF products tend to be hit or miss, but this is a huge, huge hit. I use this more often than my higher end eyelid primers (Urban Decay, Too Faced), as it is super easy to use, travel friendly and it works.

One thing that makes this stand out for me over other primers I have used, is that this comes with a doe footed applicator. I like that you don't have to squeeze out the product.

The packaging is fairly basic and isn't great to look at but for such a cheap price, that doesn't matter. Because this is quite sleek it easily fits into your travel bag. Also the tube itself is hard plastic so you don't need to worry that this could break during travel.

Even though are other colours of this, my favourite is the original (pictured). It looks like a light peach/tan colour, but once it is blended into your skin it appears colourless. The texture is a little thick but isn't overly tacky.

This really helps prevent my eyeshadow from creasing and travelling throughout the day. It also prolongs the wear of my shadow (using this I get a whole day of wear with my shadow on, even up to 15 hours). It doesn't dry my lids out or make them oily.

If you are looking for an inexpensive eye primer that really does help prevent creasing and prolongs your eyeshadow then I really really recommend this. It is amazing!!

For such a small amount of money this primer does such a good job! A little goes a long way and as soon as it's on my eye lids feel smooth straight away. I've been using for a couple of weeks now every time before applying eye makeup and it lasts so much longer then what it used to. Packaging is pretty plain but ya let that slip when the price is so good. Also has a pleasant smell. I'll carry on using this.
