Purchased this item from kmart ($5) a couple of days ago and couldn't be happier. Not only with the price as everyone loves a good deal but the performance of this item. Easy application, eyeshadow adheres to it and stays on ALL DAY. Very happy with this product and will purchase again as needed.

Before I got this primer I was using my NYX HD Studio Primer on my eyelids (not the best, I know, but it was all I had. :D) and the difference is insane!
This eye primer solidified the fact that an eyelid primer is so important when it comes to creating eye looks that require very pigmented shadows.
I love how this primer makes literally all my eye make-up outlast the night, I come home and my make-up looks virtually untouched.
The price is a bonus too - recommend to everyone!
I bought this on a whim after seeing it was only one dollar, and it has amazed me with its quality. I have fairly oily eyelids and I'm used to my eyeshadow creasing and my eyeliner smudging everywhere. When I use this, it holds everything in place for hours and I don't have to worry about looking like a raccoon.
Tips: I use this over my foundation/concealer/etc and blend gently with my ring fingers. You don't need a huge amount, but it will stick to any dry patches so make sure that you moisturise properly.
works really well, eye shadow is definitely more vibrant and lasts longer when used underneath. and also good price.
I really like the elf eyelid primer. It works really well to hold my eyeshadow in place all day without it creasing. I like that it absorbs into my eyelids and doesn't go tacky so eyeshadow can be applied smoothly and be blended, it also makes colours stand out more. There isn't a huge amount of product in each tube but it is very affordable so that isn't really a big deal for me. I definitely think it's worth investing in.
So, I'm not exactly an expert on eyelid primers. The only two I've ever tried are the Wet n Wild one, which is great, and this one, which is also great!
I apply it, wait a moment for it to dry, apply face powder, then apply eyeshadow. And then my eyeshadow lasts all day! The price is also very affordable.
Tips: Dust eyelids with face powder after applying primer, and before applying eyeshadow.
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.
Tips: Always always use this product. Its a must for your eye shadow art.
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.
Tips: A little of this product goes a long way!
I always thought eyelid primers were useless, until I decided to spend a few dollars on a cheap elf one. Then I realized where has this elf eyelid primer been all my life ???
It's pretty much skin coloured, so it does help with discolouration on your eye lids, basically how I would describe it as is something, that the eyeshadow sticks to, and perfects all the imperfections.
The applicator is very nice, and the formula itself is very sheer, and glittery. But the fact it costs a few dolllars, and it works the way it does, is a wow, I would happily pay more for this :)
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.
