Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

In love with this! I have used other primers or bases and this is awesome. Applies really smoothly, you don't need much! and sets really quick. It's stinking hot and I'm 33 weeks pregnant, so I'm a hot, sweaty mess but this stuff keeps my eyes looking on point.

I use it on the lower lash line as well to help stop my mascara from transferring and it's working so far and stops me from getting panda eyes.

Love love love this eyeshadow primer!

It's incredibly easy to apply, a tiny bit goes a very long way (it may seem pricey, but I've been using mine daily for over a year and it's still over 1/4 full), and I really love that it has a tiny bit of colour to it so that it smooths out any imperfections before putting eyeshadow on (I tend to get awful little bumps and whiteheads on the bottom of my brow bone and my UDPP takes care of the redness from them beautifully!).

I'm naturally pretty oily and use a lot of loose, shimmery eyeshadows and they simply do not BUDGE all day when I use this stuff, plus I get better colour payoff from most shadows when I first apply them as well.

The only other eyeshadow primer I've found that even comes close is by NARS, and I didn't get to trial that for long enough to really compare the two, plus it doesn't have that bit of colour to it, so I can't see myself switching from my trusty UDPP any time soon.

On the original primer: There is no doubt that this primer lives up to the hype. Don't be disillusioned though, it's not 100% perfect, having experienced small amounts of creasing while using this. But it does hugely increase the wear time of your eyeshadows, protecting them from fading, and probably my favourite feature is that this primer make your eyeshadow colours apply more opaque and true to the colour they are in the pot. I don't think I would repurchase the original primer, finding that E.L.F's Eyelid Primer in 'Sheer' to be just as good and much more affordable! Though I would really love to try this in 'Sin' as I think it's such a beautiful colour and would compliment a number of my eye looks really well.

I have tried the original, Eden and greed in these primers and I love them. The original is my favourite, and I cannot see myself ever not repurchasing it. I use it everyday and find that a tiny amount goes a long long way. It helps my eyeshadows perform much better as not on,y do they not crease, but they also apply more opaque.

I have ridiculously oily skin and often struggle with keeping my eyeshadow in place. I originally got this as a sample with my Naked2 pallet and liked it so much I bought a full size tube! It has quite a thick consistancy and a little goes a long way - if you use too much it does tend to stand out and can look a little patchy. The packaging is really cute, it lasts forever, its really good value for money - and best of all... It actually works!!

I brought this in sephora in Las Vegas. Previously would use foundation as a primer for my eyelids. However, as I have oily lids also, I found it wouldn't stay on for that long.

I wanted to try this after hearing all the hype and let me tell you, it was worth it!

Packaging is so eye catching, it just looks like quality. I had absolutely no trouble applying this with my fingers. The trick is to use only a very, very small amount as the payoff the great. Once it has settled on the lids you immediately feel like whatever you put on next will stay in place. Its not sticky though, its very... dry? Like a chalkboard (well, that's how I felt anyway)

My makeup stayed on the entire day without budging. I recommend to everyone!

I've tried a few primers now, but the Original Primer Potion one is definitely high up on the list of primers I'd recommend. The formula is quite thick and sticky (and a bit tricky to apply if you're not prepared with a brush!) but, once it has dried, it keeps your eyeshadow firmly in place for hours. Used in conduction with Urban Decay eyeshadow and you'll have perfect eye makeup all day long!

I have oily lids. Before primer I never wore eyeshadow as by midday any trace of effort would have disappeared. This is the first eye primer I have ever tried and boy was I happy. Not only did it make the eyeshadow colour appear better, everything stayed put! It goes on like a sticky concealer and dries to clear. Eyeshadow and liner stays put all day long, expect some colour fading it's not bullet proof. Why I say it's ok... I found a cheaper alternative which performs just as well but maybe the packaging is not as pretty. Etude House Proof 10 eye primer, you can get it off eBay for about $10nzd.

I've always had quite oily eyelids and could never find any type of eyeshadow that would last the day. I was then given a sample of this wonderful product....

I had the shade Eden, which is a nice creamy pale beige. This product makes made my eyeshadow look freshly applied all day. I just apply it with my finger to my eyelid and it sets quickly so there is no waiting around to put your eyeshadow on. I feel like the eyeshadow colours really pop with this as the base.

Have never worn a better primer. I have had this bottle nearly a year now, wearing it almost every Saturday or Friday night. And I still have half a tube left! Makes my skin feel amazing and makes my foundation last so much longer.
