    An inexpensive staple for your makeup bag

    For the price, this product isn't that bad. I used to only ever use UD's primer but that got a little pricy. You'd think that the product may be too dark/pigmented but it blends out quite well on my fair skin and hides any veins and discolouration without looking like it's too dark for my skin tone. Eyeshadows applies nice and pigmented, and as with any primer I use there is a little bit of creasing after 8-9 hours (but I have oily skin and no matter what I do with any product, it will always settle into my deep creases). Overall I think I'll start purchasing this product as a cheaper substitution for the UD primer.

    WICKED!

    I love this eyeshadow primer. It helps even out my lids before applying my shadow so it applies evenly without any creasing. My eyeshadow lasts all day and stays exactly where i out it when i use this primer. And so inexpensive it is works amazing!

    I love this eye primer. It has some color to it so it evens out any unevenness and veins that I have on my eyelids and provides a nice smooth base. It's slightly tacky so it holds onto whatever I put on top really well. I also have oily eyelids and I feel like this works great at keeping the eyeshadow there all day. And you can't beat the price.

    Best eyeshadow primer I've ever found, has a bit of coverage to cover veiny eyelids, lasts all day, pumps up pigmentation on all eyeshadows, and it's super inexpensive! Love!

    For $4, this is a comparative dupe to urban decay eyeshadow primer!
    doesn't crease and your eye shadow stays strong all day. I love it especially when applying loose eye shadow powder.

    This is by far my most favourite eye shadow base/primer. It's not thick and a tiny bit goes a really long way. Corrects any discolouration on my eyelids and make the eye shadow really stand out. Keeps even glitter shadows in place with zero creasing. Really, really high quality product for such a low price.

    This stuff works but it's like a fluorescent orange colour and that's the reason why I hate it. For some reason I just can't stand using it because of the colour, it's just so un natural and I don't like the colour. But if you can get past the look it works pretty well for the price.

    This eye base is quite pigmented and has a smooth texture.It comes in a lipgloss like packaging with a doefoot applicator and you dont need much at all too cover your eyelid.As far as eye primers go this one is nice but i have slightly oily eyelids and this tends to crease a little after 6 hours or so but thats still amazing for such a cheap product.The reason i like this product so much is not because of the primer qualities though but because i use it as an undereye concealer.I find it blends very well and has just enough pigmentation to brighter my undereyes and blends seamlessly into my foundation. The colour is perfect for brightening my medium olive skintone. I love it!
