Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer Reviews

Description

The silicone-based eyeshadow primer transforms any eye shadow into a perfectly blendable, color-drenched, intensified version of itself, then locks it down perfectly until you take it off. The skin soothing formula evens out the skin tone on your lids and smoothes out lines while it secures a barrier between the oils of your skin and your makeup, so no shadow catastrophes will ever happen again.

    I recevied a small size tube (same as my index finger) in a set. This tube has lasted ages! I can't imagine how long the full size would last. The same as any other eye primer so far is the shadow lasts a bit longer than without. It doesn't make my eyes to look the same hours later like it did when first applied though :(

    When I had my make up done, they used this primer.. and it worked miracles. It helps to prevent creasing, fading and smudging. It also evens out the skin tones on your lids, and smooths out lines.

    I love everything Too Faced, and enjoy Shadow Insurance as a light primer when wearing neutrals or lighter colours. It is easy to apply, easy to work with, and easy to remove at the end of the day!

    I use this everyday. It prevents the pain of realizing your hard work went to waste.

    Was kinda skeptical about this product only because i have used others that have also said will prevent shadow from creasing but boy was i surprised with this one! I Loove it! It does exactly what it says! I wear cream shadow on top of my eyeshadow and have always experienced creasing (which i hated) but when I apply this underneath my shadow it makes it stick and it lasts all day!

    After seeing quite a few good reviews on other sites about this product, I was determined to try it. The package advertising states it gives you creaseless eye makeup and vibrant colors from your ordinary eyeshadow. It was definately still creaseless after a full day, but I honestly didn't see any difference in the vibrant color department.

    The price is also a little hefty for such a small tube, but you don't use very much and I'm sure it will last me quite awhile. I did like how quickly it absorbs into your skin, as I was afraid it would leave a slightly greasy, silicone film.

    Over all, a good product and I will buy it again!

    I have pretty oily skin, so I have a hard time finding something that will make my eye shadow stay the whole day. I had been using MAC paint as a base, and even concealer, both of which didn't last the whole day.

    I purchased this product upon recommendation from an employee at Sephora. I have to say that I love it! My eye shadow now will last and doesn’t crease. It even works on shadows which have a lot of sparkle. Though it isn’t not cheap, you don’t need a lot to make it work.

    I would suggest this to anyone who wants their shadow to last all day!

    What I liked about it:
    It actually works! It really keeps your eyelids from being an oilslick at the end of the day. I've tried L'Oreal De-Crease as a base at one point in my life only to have it end up as an epic fail! I normally opt for my MAC paint pots as a base for my eyeshadow or just a base to help my eyeliner stay put and prevent it from creasing (meaning preventing your black eyeliner to some how find its way to travel up to your crease). However, due to the sweltering heat we're experiencing in California, my usual MAC paint pots by itself are currently no good. So I opted to try for another base which can save my eye makeup from fading or creasing and has led me to try this awesome product. What's also good about the Too Faced Shadow Insurance is it dries up transparent in your eyelids and instantly. There's really no drying-time unlike the L'Oreal De-crease which took forever to sink into my skin. Another good thing about it is it lasts for a really long time. The product packaging is also better than UDPP and L'Oreal De-Crease since it doesn't use a wand to get the product out. It comes in a squeeze tube so nothing really goes in the product, just out keeping bacteria away. And there's also no need for you to break into the tube and then storing it in another container just to get all your money's worth.

    What I don't like about it:
    When I directly put eyeshadow on top of the Shadow Insurance, I actually had a bit of a hard time blending my eyeshadows. But that can be fixed by layering your Too Faced Shadow Insurance with cream-based product you have available such as MAC paint pots for better blending. It is also more expensive than UDPP by a couple of bucks which can turn-off some people into buying it. Although the packaging seemed to be more sanitary compared to other eyeprimers, the tube can go through possible, unexpected mishaps such as squeezing the tube too hard causing too much product than you orignally intent or worse, accidently puncturing the tube with something sharp in your makeup bag. Other than that, I can't think of anything else bad about it.

    Will I buy it again?:
    Most definitely! Although I haven't really tried UDPP (so I can't say much about that), I just don't believe in using a wand to apply my eyeprimer or breaking through the packaging so I just feel that I'm not getting ripped off. Although Too Faced Shadow Insurance is a few bucks more, it is still more sanitary than other eyeprimers and it has a great staying power that keeps my lids oil-free.
