What is the best primer out there?

Question

I'm looking for an eyeshadow primer. Which is the best primer out there from personal experience?

Answer 1

I like MAC's.  Some other brands feel a little drying.

Answer 2

urban decay primer potion!

Answer 3

I use the cheapie L'Oreal De-Crease and it seems to work well. I use Laura Mercier as a primer for my face, but I'm not sure that it'd work as an eyeshadow primer.

Answer 4

urban decay primer potion

it is a purple bottle and it is $16 at sephora...works very good...

hope i helped :)

Answer 5

MAC

The best thing about MAC is that they have different color primers so you can find a color that you'll like even if you are not wearing a lot of eye makeup :)

Answer 6

Answer 7

There are various eyeshadow primers out there.

But to really make your eyes shadow lasts, you have to use a silicone base eye shadow primer. This will adhere better on your lids.

How to use it?

Apply using your ring finger.

Take abit off from the pot onto your eyelid.

Start with one eyelid area.

Spread from your lash line towards the brow bone (if it is a natural skin colour shade)

This will create a veil to hold onto your powder eyeshadow makeup.

Put on the eyeshadows.

Once completed, start again with the other eye lid.

Why do we start with one eye area first?

Because the silicone base eye makeup primer will have little play time (it dries out fast), applying it when it is moist will allow the eye shadow to stay longer.

Only with silicone base eyeshadow will hold the makeup longer. Wax based always creases.
