As you can see this is a very well used product of mine! Since
purchasing the Urban Decay Primer Potion, I have never applied eyeshadow
without it. I really can’t say enough great things about it and if you don’t
have it, go get it! It’s priced at about £14.50, but it lasts for ages as you
only need the smallest bit. The new design is great, before you had to use little
wand and I found it hard to get the product off, but now with the easy-squeeze
tube and needle point tip the product comes out real easy with no messing
around.
You can get the primer in a couple of shades, but I always
go for the original (purple tube shown above). It’s a nude shade, dries
invisibly and suits every skin tone, which makes it a perfect pro artist
product. This product gives your eyeshadow excellent staying power and never
creases. Even if you don’t wear eyeshadow and prefer to stick with your trusty eyeliner
above the eye, this product will help keep it in place all day.
It does
help even the tone of your eye lid, but if you have concerns about visible
veins and are looking for natural coverage, try the MAC paint pots. They are
also very good and have a stronger pigment to provide better coverage.
How to use:
+ You shouldn’t need more than half a thumb nail to cover both
eyes.
+ Apply a thin layer to your eyelids from the root of your
eyelashes, right up to your brows.
+ Blend, blend, blend. Your eyeshadow will blend really easily over
this primer and is will appear more vibrant, but if you don’t blend it in
properly and miss bits, you will definitely notice a difference.
+ Make sure you give the product enough time to set. If you
open your eyes too quickly after application you can sometimes get a faint line
in your crease.
Tip: Give the tube a little shake every now and then. I have
found on a rare occasion that the product can sometimes come out a little
watery, but with a good shake it’s usually fine.
In conclusion, this product is awesome and no makeup bag or artists kit should be without it!
