e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

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.

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! :)

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

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

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.

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!

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 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.

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!!
