What I Use Series...Step 2. Eye Primer

There are many different eye primers out on the market. Just about every company has their own. The two most popular are Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Urban Decay Primer Potion. If you want a really cheap eye primer, then you should check out L'Oreal DeCrease (about $10) or E.L.F.'s Eyeshadow Primer (about $3). I've never tried either, but I have heard that they are comparable to my favorite primer Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Urban Decay Primer Potion

If you have very oily eyelids like me, then you need to be using an eye primer. Nobody

likes the look of creased eye makeup. You just rub a small amount of this gel onto your lids before you pat on your eyeshadows and it will not budge until you decide to take it off. Even in extreme humidity, it stays put. It will also dry clear, so you don't have to worry about it messing with the color of your eyeshadows either. Recently Urban Decay changed the packaging of its Primer Potion since the genie-bottle-look meant there was a lot of wasted product lost in the nooks and crannies of the tube (unless you cut open the packaging and put the product in another jar). You can see the new and old packaging in the photo above (Note: the genie bottle version is a miniature size). Urban Decay even offers three other color choices (Eden, Greed, and Sin) if you want some tint to your primer. Be warned though that there is some trial and error in using this product. Using too much of this eye primer will make your eyeshadow crease as well, so play around and find out what works for you.
