Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer Review

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 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!

I love this product, I don't know what I did before having it. I got a small sample as a birthday present and I'm desperate to get my hands on some more (which is a bit difficult in NZ but I'll get there).

You only need to apply a tiny amount, and it spreads really easily over the eyelid. It lets any eyeshadw you apply afterwards have a much longer lasting time, and it also gives a greater colour pay-off.

The only slight issue is that there is a clear liquid that separates from the rest of the product so use the tip in another review below and squeeze the tube a few times before opening to mix the product together.

I got this eye primer from beauty bay and it works well,

its great at evening out skin tone to create a clean base for your shadows. it does make your shadows appear brighter and more pigmented. my eyeshadow definitely last all day with this and no creasing!

i love the packaging! the blue tube just looks so cool and definitely stands out. the lid is very strong so i know it wont easily break. i also like that the lid (where the product comes out) is very thin so its easier to control how much product you get. which is good because you only need a tiny amount.

the only thing i dont really like about this is that there is this oily clear liquid that separates from the actual primer. it doesnt make a huge difference to the use i just have to work it in a bit more.

its definitely a great product. would re-purchase!

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

First of all, if you have colouration on your lids, this won't cover it so any eyeshadow that you subsequently apply, may not be true to colour. I've used a number of primers over the past couple of years (NARS, Too Faced, Mac, Lorac & Urban Decay) and this appears to do it's job almost as well as NARS which is my HG primer.

However, my eyelids are oily so I don't get as much wear out of this as I would like. I haven't suffered any creasing with it but I'm not a fan of the squeeze tube. I've occasionally squeezed a bit too much out. Whoops. I usually use this for my daily wear if I'm not breakint out my NARS or my MAC Paint Pot.

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.

My eyelids tend to be more oily so I found this formula to be too runny/oily to work for me. It does help to even the skin tone and my eyeshadow does go on a wee bit brighter but not that noticeably. As for staying power, I don't find it any more effective than using a regular concealer as a base. Again, it's probably just my skin type as I know a lot of people have found this to be great. For me, I'll stick with Smashbox.

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!
