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

Impressive!

This primer is fantastic value for money. I purchased mine for (US )$3 on iherb and am nothing but impressed. Primers seem to last forever also and this one is no exception!

The packaging is very simple and contains a doe-foot applicator (which I prefer over a tube from which you have to use your finger) making application easy. A little of this goes a long way too, so your $3 is very well spent.

I find this helps my shadow stay vibrant throughout the day (not fade) and stay crease free and exactly where I placed it.

You just can't beat a primer this affordable that actually performs (I have other high end primers, but, this is honestly just as good as those). I will be repurchasing this when my tube finally runs out and would recommend to all.

Tips: Let the primer set for a minute or so before applying your eye shadow.

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!

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.

E.L.F Eyelid Primer

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!

Tips: you may as well try it, for the price what have you got to lose!

Makes eyeshadow pop

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.

Tips: Be careful applying as you can quite easily apply a little too much. Try to put a little bit on because it spreads easily using your ring finger.

I also find that this product also works really well as an under brow highlighter.

Incredible Value for Money.

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!!

So good and so affordable!

I bought this as I know e.l.f is a reliable brand from what I have recently tried and the price is just too good to refuse! I have this in a pearly shade and it really does prolong the wear of my eyeshadow!

I have super super oily eyelids and have always had issues with my eyeshadow lasting all day or even on a night out. I tried multiple primers and eyeshadow bases and this one has been the most successful and I'm so happy it is! The formula is really easy to apply and work with, recommend it to anyone!

Excellent!

I bought up a stash of e.l.f products online a while ago including the Eyelid Primer and I'm really impressed! The packaging is basic and easy to use, no complaints there. The thing that makes this amazing though is the fact that it is really effective! For the cheap price I wasn't expecting it to be so good. I have it in Champagne which covers any colour on your eyelid and makes an even, smooth base for eyeshadow. Eye colour goes on really easily and then lasts all day without creasing or smudging. I would definitely recommend buying the eyelid primer - I will be repurchasing when it runs out!

Tips: You only need to use a very small amount which means it lasts a long time.

Pleasantly Suprised!

Despite firmly believing that when it comes to my makeup not to prime is a crime, it wasn't until a few months ago I jumped on the eye primer band wagon. At first I really didn't expect too much, the packaging is very simplistic and the formula itself looks just like a white face cream but I was pleasantly surprised by it's performance.

I really like the doe-foot applicator which makes it so easy to apply the right amount of primer. I apply it after my face makeup e.g. foundation, powder, straight to my eyelid and blend it in, leaving it to set while I do my eyebrows. It leaves a white, shimmery cast to the lid which helps lighten the eye area and provides the perfect base for my eyeshadow.

I have oily skin so I'm used to eyeshadows disappearing on my eyelids but this really increases how vibrant and long-lasting my shadow is, stopping the colour from fading away or creasing.

I am so impressed by how well this performs I would happily pay much more than it's bargain price, and will definitely repurchase once this tube eventually runs dry.

Tips: This is quite shimmery alone so I find it works well to brighten up the inner eye and highlight the brow bone.
