Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

So over the last few weeks I have been writing wee articles on all my must-have make-up products and seeing as you all have been glued to your screen, eagerly awaiting my next piece, here goes.  Today I shall be rambling on about Urban Decay’s very own Eyeshadow Primer Potion. 

Now a product such as this may seem like a fairly low priority in the old make-up routine, but I’m telling you, the one thing EVERYONE asks me about, without fail, is how to help their make-up last all day and so if you desire that high intensity colour and a crease free shadow all day, this product is a must folks! 

One of the many awesome things about this product by Urban Decay that I’ll be telling you about, is it comes in, not just one measly little shade, but four to choose from.  Urban Decay’s Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion was the first eye primer they released and for a long time was a real MUST in my make-up bag.  The original formula dries invisibly on the lid, so is great for those primer virgins who would be willing to give it the old go.  ‘Eden’ primer has to be my new favourite though.  It has a nude matte finish, which is great for if you’re like me and it looks like you’ve been clocked in both eyes at the same time the night before and you’ve awoken the next day with terrible dark circles under your eyes, so works great as a concealer also.  I apply my ‘Eden’ primer all over the eyelid and then underneath too, to get rid of those dark circles.  ‘Sin’ has a gorgeous champagne shimmer finish for all who like a bit of sparkle and will really bring out the pigment of your eyeshadow but used alone, gives a natural subtle finish.  The last in the Eye Primer range is ‘Greed’ which has quite a strong gold shimmer finish and best suited to warm or tanned skins.

There really are no downsides to this product, so why you’re reading this and not going out and buying this product right now, is really quite baffling…  Price wise it normally retails at just under the £15 mark, so fairly reasonable and finally, Urban Decay have updated their packaging to a much improved squeezy tube which is well easier than the fruitless hours wasted trying fish any product remains from the old little potion bottles with that really annoying little stick.  These primers work amazing with the Urban Decay eyeshadows, but will work just as well with any other brand.  Apply underneath your eyeshadow and you’ll have long lasting, brilliant colour all day.

Best of all with this product is no more will the world fall foul to that vulgar ‘sweaty eyelid’ look, those of you that will back me up, believe me, there is nothing worse on this earth than having to look at some poor chump with eyeshadow clump.  These primers promise ‘no creasing’ and, by jolly jings, they mean it.
