Hands down my favourite eye shadow primer, and I’ve been through a number primers (UDPP and NYX to name a few), but this particular formula has done wonders for me. All you need is the tiniest amount, and then blend out until the formula is clear on your lids. It should leave a powdery finish.
I’ve used this primer for a number of different situations:
Convention makeup – heavy makeup that needs to last 10hrs+ whilst actively taking photos, running around both indoors and outdoors
Photo shoot makeup – heavy makeup that is exposed to hot lights for hours on end
Day to day makeup – light makeup that needs to last close to 15hrs+
Clubbing makeup – medium makeup subjected to a lot of heat and sweat
And thus far this primer has not disappointed, my eye shadow remains the same way I put it on in the morning as it does at night.
The only gripe I have that has stopped this primer from getting a perfect 5 stars was the unhygienic applicator. This bothers me because when I do other people’s makeup I want to use a good primer on them, but I can’t use this thanks to the applicator. If only the same formula came in a tube, then it would be perfect.
Still, if you are looking for a solid primer, I highly recommend this one. It’s a staple in my collection.
I have this too! It’s gorgeous but so exy..
It is 🙁 At least ordering online helps ease the wallet pain just a bit.
I haven’t tried this one yet! I swear by UDPP, but this sounds awesome! It will definitely be in my next K&M order 🙂
Yay! tbh, the only primer I swear off is NYX. It’s awful, creases after 4-5 hrs of wear :/ Thank goodness it was cheap!
Ooh. Thanks for the review 🙂
I’ve been looking for a good primer, and I think this might be good to use ! 😀 Thankss <3
Yay! Let me know how you find it 🙂
I suppose you could use a cotton bud in when applying makeup for other people. And no double dipping!
That’s a good idea! Good thing cotton buds are so cheap XD;
