The texture was surprisingly thick - a very old-fashioned primer, drying and not good as base for many e/s I like

For the price I paid I am so irritated. Literally flushed $60 down the toilet.
Bought both linen and flax in September (2019). Linen turned in about a month. Just cakey, would not blend, made my...

I'm a big fan of LM's mineral powder foundation but am massively disappointed in this product. I have well behaved 'normal' skin and I've been looking for an eye primer which can act as a neutral...

I really like this product and I must say I have been using Wheat nearly every day for my "minimal/work kind of make-up". It evens out all my discolourations perfectly and makes my eyes appear...

I've tried and tried to use this but it's finally going into the garbage. It holds shadow well but that's it. The applicator dispenses way too much product and the neck of the tube gets really...

Laura Mercier eye basics is actually a primer. On my opinion a really bad one.
It creases within two hours (even if I use it alone), at the same time it becomes very dry and patchy. I've never...

I have this eye basic in Caramel. I really like the color, so so with the texture. It goes on smoothly, leaves a sheer brownish wet sand color finish, last all day. The only con is the wand makes...

LOVE LOVE LOVE, but use it as a shadow, not as a primer. I love this with just liner and a colourful lip. I am NC30 and have it in flax and linen.

This applies to the shade Linen. My favourite primer. I used to use Mac Painterly but this is so much better. Perhaps Painterly holds shadow on longer without creasing but this is still better....

Overall, thin consistency, does not cover well.
Packaging is good, easy to apply.
Quite a bit in the container seems like a good value.
Not usually a primer fan as I don't wear eyeshadows but...

I wonder if it's been reformulated? The consistency is very thin, doesn't work well for me as a primer, it's very slippery with very little coverage. My veins show through even when layered. It...

I have super oily lids and nothing keeps my eyeliner on for more than a few hours. Usually, even with UD primer or Too Faced primer, it ends up a faint line or smudge by the end of my work day. ...
