Hello Foxettes !
This is the e.l.f professional eyelid primer !
The function of this product is to give a base to the eye for applying eye products, making them appear more vibrant, last longer and preventing them from creasing in the folds of the eyelid.
I have small eyes with a deep fold near the tear duct, so eye primers are an important part of my eye make up routine !
I have Urban Decay Primer Potion which is another loved eyelid primer.
For the past few days I have been testing them either side for a review for you !
Is it a good base ?
Yes, from the picture swatch below, you can see the e.l.f primer gives a much more opaque base than the Urban Decay which in my opinion makes the colour look more vibrant !
Does your eyeshadow crease ?
No, I think this product creases a tad more than the Urban Decay but it doesnt crease as much as with no primer !
Does it make eyeshadow last all day ?
Yes, I think both of the primers are equal on the basis of this question.
Is there a price difference ?
Which one is your favourite ?
I personally like them both but if I was to recommend a primer to someone that hasn't tried one before or is on a budget I would say the e.l.f, but for someone with make up experience I would say the Urban Decay !
Swatch - Left: e.l.f, Right: Urban Decay.
Have you tried the e.l.f Eyelid Primer ? What is your favourite eyelid primer ?

I like the elf, works pretty good when you don't need long-lasting primer. If i'm going to use one to last me all day/night though i'll go with Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It is a great way to keep cost down on the more expensive primers though, too switch them out depending on the timeframes you need to wear your eyeshadow.
ReplyDeleteI love this primer. I've been using it over a year. No creasing and my eyeshadows have lasted for hours with this.
ReplyDeleteI have both and I like them equally :)
