e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

I don't know why but this product just didn't work for me at all...for my daughter it works perfectly! It just rolls off the skin of my lid and doesn't stick to it. My eyelids are a wee bit oily but not so much that it should not stay! I find the product quite powdery and thin. It doesn't make any difference to the pigment of my eye shadow either and actually makes my shadow crepe. I am unlikely to purchase this product again.

I found this product to be pretty average, but for the price I really shouldn't complain, I think I picked it up for like $2 off iHerb or something.

I found the formula to be quite thin so it wasn't really tacky enough. I believe it comes in few different colors, but I don't think that would make any difference.

I didn't feel like this made any of my eyeshadows "pop" and definitely didn't help with the staying power.

I think this primer is a really good, affordable option if you are on a tight makeup budget. It's only a few dollars and you can get it from quite a few places online and also instore at Kmart.

This is really easy to use, you simply swipe a small amount (definitely go with a small amount, too much and it will crease) on your eyelids and then I rub it in using my fingers. I then like to let it dry for a couple of minutes before I put shadow on top.

For a while this was my fave primer and I loved using it to get creaseless eyeshadow looks and to help colours be a bit brighter. Then summer came along and my eyelids started getting super oily and gross and this just didn't cut it for me anymore and my eyeshadows were creasing after only a couple of hours. I started using the urban decay primer potion and that is magic for my eyelids so I can't see myself using this product again.

I would still recommend it to others though, if you don't like it then you haven't wasted a large amount of money and if you do like it, then that is great. It does also come in a few other colours so that is handy when you want to do different kinds of eye looks. The tube has a really good amount of product in (I'd been using mine for months and still had heaps left).

I have combo skin and even setting the eyelid with a powder, I still found that my eye shadow would slip off and become muddy. I tried everything but cit just wasn't tacky enough for me

So I bought this in Champagne because I pretty much always want some form of shimmer in my look. I really don't know what to think. I feel like maybe I should splurge on a slightly higher quality eyeshadow primer, maybe even a paintpot, because although this primer makes my eyeshadow last a bit longer, it really doesn't do anything to make the colours "pop" and that's equally important to me in an eyeshadow primer. But I will say that it definitely stops my shadow from creasing and it might be my imagination here but I feel like my shadow was applied more smoothly with this underneath it. So I don't know, I don't think it's an amazing primer but I also don't think it's awful either. I've also noticed that it kind of clumps around my lashline.

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.

This is my first ever primer of any sort, and I really wanted to invest in an eyelid one since my lids get quite oily throughout the day and need something to keep the eyeshadow at bay.

This product is pretty average. I think it does a decent job at prolonging eyeshadow visibleness, but by the time you get home at night, it will definitely have dulled and faded (but this also could be contributed to my oily lids).

Another downside is the lack of actual formula in the tube. Literally not much inside, so for the normal retail price, I think it's a 50/50 on purchasing. If it's on sale, definitely get one for on the go.

Other than that, you probably might want to skip on this and find a more high quality primer, if it's within your price range.

This is the first eyelid primer I've ever bought and tried however I find it far too sticky for me and actually makes my eyeshadow much harder to blend and almost clumpy.

The packaging is basic and its super cheap however I just can't make the formula work for me and will not be repurchasing - I think more of a creamy pigmented rather than sheer sticky base will be better for my slightly hooded eyes.

I am not a fan of this primer whatsoever. I feel like it's so sheer that when you apply it on to your lid it doesn't feel like anything has even gone on to the eye and then when I go to apply eyeshadow over the top its no different to using no primer. Each to their own I guess but this primer is definitely not for me.
