    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...

    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...

    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....

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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. ...

    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...
