Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer Review

I have the full sized original version of this. I think it comes in a few different shades. I've been using it for the last couple of months.

What I like about this product is first, the packaging.It comes in a nice blue, squeezy tube. It has a screw top lid so it won't accidentally fall off and you can really control how much product you want to squeeze out. This is important as you only need the tiniest amount. I also like that once you rub this into your eyes, it doesn't really show so it won't change the color of your eye shadow.

This does have a weird smell, it's not fragrance, I guess it's just the smell of the product but I've never noticed it before so it's only strong if you put it right up to your nose!

I like to put this on my lids (just using a small dot for each eye), and than I give it a hence to dry a little while I do my brows. Just before I'm ready to apply shadow, I smooth it out on my eye again. I find that it will crease in my crease (lol), and if I don't get rid of that crease than the eye shadow will lock it in so it looks weird.

I have oily lids but I have found as long as I give it that couple of minutes to dry a bit and don't use too much, it will keep my shadows from creasing. However, I don't notice it helping with intensity or locking the shadow on or all day. That why it doesn't rank into my number one eye primer spot. My primer potion is happily sitting in that position!

I'll use this as I'm happy it works to prevent creasing but it's not something I'll buy again. Too face ones amazing shadows and bronzers so I'll purchase those Instead!

I received a mini of this in a gift pack my beautiful friend bought for me while she was in America. She knew how badly I wanted the kit but I couldn't afford it so the sneak bought it! But I am forever grateful for it, and I am so, so glad I have this primer in my life.

The tube is a lovely blue and it has a small screw top lid. I shake it before I use mine, as I find if I don't the product squirts out a clear liquid and then bits of the product. The product itself is a brown cream of sorts, but when you put it on your lids it doesn't change the color of the eye shadow. You only need the smallest amount so I know my small tube will last a good amount of time!

My eye shadow goes on as normal, if not easier than before when I wasn't using a primer. The lasting power of this is amazing as well - usually my eye shadow creases but with this it doesn't. My eyelids are a little oily so I'm very pleased at how well this works for me. I'm very, very happy with this stuff and I will gladly repurchase!

I received a deluxe mini size of this in the 2017 Too Faced Christmas cracker which also included minis of a liquid lipstick (loved it) and the Better Than Sex mascara (never again!) I love this primer. Despite using eyeshadow for decades, I've never really bothered with a dedicated primer - this has changed that! I used it with my Too Faced Bonbon palette eyeshadows and it also works well with other brands. This makes the shadows last all day without fading or creasing, as well as smoothing out my eyelids.

I also like the packaging of this. It comes in an easy to squeeze tube with a pointed end. This means you only squeeze out what you need. I give the tube a bit of a squish before I take the lid off as sometimes the primer can separate - I found this more of an issue when the tube was new. Besides that, I can't fault this primer and will definitely repurchase. On the days I forget to wear it, I definitely see a difference in the longevity of my eyeshadow.

I love too faced as a whole brand but this wee beauty was the reason I started using it! I needed an eyeshadow primer to keep my eyeshadow in place all day and my friend recommended this to me. It keeps my eyeshadow from creasing, smudging and it stays in place all day. I've also found I don't need to pack on as much shadow as the primer helps the colour look more pigmented!

This eyelid shadow primer is light, not too thick and holds the colour of shadow all day. It helps the shadow not crease also. Colours look more vibrant. Good size to take in makeup bag when travelling also.

This is my go to eye shadow primer. It has a beautiful consistency, doesn't flake and my eyeshadow stays on much longer than if I didn't use it. It doesn't change the colours of my shadow, and doesn't clump on the eye either. I haven't noticed a scent, so it's really lovely to use and doesn't impact on my eyes. You don't need to use much, so it lasts a long time.

I use eyeshadow everyday and know no matter how good the eyeshadow it will start to wear off. This primer prevents that for sure. I used this for an event and my eyeshadow looked perfect the whole night. It is a little pricey considering the amount but it definitely works

I have been using this product for years. It does everything it says it will, and it does it well. Nothing moves once it's on, which I love.

Colours are brighter and nothing creases.

I love the applicator tube as it's long and skinny and makes for a much cleaner application and clean up, rather than the flat applicator so may others have. No more crusting!
