MY KIT WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT: URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW PRIMER POTION




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!
