As a product junkie and certified weirdo, I have a wardrobe of eyeshadow primers, and this one has replaced e.l.f.'s Shadow Lock Eye Primer for me in terms of "cheap primers I can use for short outing...Read more

I've never used eye primer in the past, but I noticed my Modern Renaissance palette tends to fade and crease really easily. This does a good enough job to stop creasing, but I find it is not good with...Read more

I was initially tempted to try this primer based on the cheap price ($3.49 when I bought it). The base is very liquidy and a little product goes a very long way. It is also a little slow to dry. The p...Read more

I bought this product because I read so many positive reviews on Dutch make-up blogs, so I was really excited to try it while looking for a nice low-budget eyeshadow primer. The packaging of the produ...Read more

This covers the lid with a tint that seems fine but it has a sheen and it all fades pretty quickly. I have oily lids so when this fades along with my shadow and liner, there's a shiny transparent lay...Read more

At the end of the day, all of my eyeshadow disappeared unfortunately (this does not happen with some other eyeprimers). Good packaging and good price, but the product did not work for me at all. When ...Read more

I've been using this eyeshadow primer for years and I would not recommend anything else! PROS: Is is VERY inexpensive and provides an amazing base for your eyeshadow. It prevents your shadows from cre...Read more

Skip it. It doesn't prevent creasing or longevity of eyeshadows.

Get the Wet N' Wild Photofocus Eyeshadow Primer instead :) it's a dupe of UDPP.

Doesn't work. Eyeshadow definitely looks better on its own rather than over this primer. Way too yellow. I recommend you to skip it. You can go without it.

I bought this because my local Ulta doesn’t sell the ELF eye primer, which I think runs out way too quickly for how often I wear makeup, and because I didn’t want to invest money on a small tube of th...Read more

Nice packaging and cheap product. But it just doesn't work. To start off it's way runnier than other eyeshadow primers so it feels a bit like just using concealer as primer. But that being said - I ha...Read more

I bought this because I saw some good reviews on YouTube, and the low price is appealing. I normally use Smashbox 24 Hour, but I thought this would be good for natural (no shadow) makeup days to even ...Read more

This is a great, inexpensive eyeshadow primer. It's colored and darker than my skin. On it's own it gives me orange eyelids. But I always put eyeshadow on top and the orange is covered up. It's f...Read more

Total bomb for me. Love most Essence products , but this does nothing for the longevity of my shadows. It creases horribly and is a weird, darker color. Definitely not repurchasing.

This is actually a pretty decent eye primer for the price. Its a little more fluid and doesn't accentuate dryness as much as other tinted eye primers. It colour corrects extremely well, and provides a...Read more
