Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

I have semi-hooded eyelids, which means that before I discovered this primer my eyeshadow tended to rub off very quickly so I rarely bothered using it. I got a sample of it and it quickly became a permanent addition to my make up routine. I only need to apply a small amount and it makes a massive difference. My eye make up will still look perfect after 12-15 hours, which is great for a busy woman like me. I have only tried the original formula, but the tinted shades look like they could be an interesting multi-tasking product.

I recently purchased the naked palette 3 by Urban Decay so I received the 4 testers.

I really like using these eye primers as they were soft and spread out easy across my eyelids. I applied eyeshadow as normal and it made the eyeshadow colour pay off even stronger thn without.

I would purchase a full size of the original and sin as they were my favourite. It made my eyeshadow last many hours and only came of when I washed it off.

It is a higher end purchase but it is totally worth it as it lasts a long time for the price. Two thumbs up for this primer.

I got a sample of these when I got the Naked3 palette and oh my goodness are they awesome!

Not only does a little go a long, long way (the samples I got were quite small but that was almost two months ago and none of them have dried up or been completely used), but they hold eyeshadow like no other!

Their original formula is still my favourite by far, it's ideal for every occasion but I really like that they have a variety.

The consistency is the same for all of them. The ones with a shimmer are fantastic for eyeshadows that have a similar shimmer in them, just makes them pack more punch.

I still find though that I need to keep my eyelids closed for about a half a minute to let the primer dry (damn those hooded lids!) but once they're dry, they ain't going nowhere!

I do find that the UD eyeshadows stick a lot better (coincidence?) than my other eyeshadows I put on top.

I wouldn't normally purchase an eyeshadow primer as I just use my MAC prolongwear concealer as an eye primer but when this came free with my NAKED palette I obviouly had to try it out.

It is such a great product and I think that it definitely helps with making your eye shadow last throughout the day without creasing or smudging.

It is a really smooth formula and very easy to apply onto your lids

I have annoying oily eyelids and a love for eyeshadow so before I knew anything about eye primer it was always so frustrating putting on nice eyeshadow just for it to get ruined within an hour. This primer has actually changed my life. I've tried a couple others and found that it just didn't help my eyeshadow stick. As well as preventing any creasing it makes my colours pop. I only just the original one so it fades away as it dries. While the tube may look small you don't need much to cover your eyelid. This is one primer I know I will be purchasing again and again

This is the first eyelid primer I have ever used and I have been very impressed. As a primer for eyeshadows I find it really does make them look better and last longer. The colors are intensified and smooth over the lid, and can last all day or a whole night dancing. I have also recently discovered a new way of using it that has blown my mind, I have oily eyelids and I have forever had a problem with my mascara transferring for the tips of my lashes to below my brows, I thought I just couldn't do anything about it and would always be wiping at my eyes just in case. Last week I thought I would try putting some of the primer potion over my lids without shadow to keep them matte and it totally worked! I've done it everyday since and had no mascara transferring at all so I am very impressed.

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.

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 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.

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.
