Prime Time Eyes


When working on an eye makeup look, I prefer a primer which provides staying power whether I'm using a powder or a cream. In trying various products, the top two performers are Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Urban Decay Primer Potion. Too Faced Shadow comes in one variety whereas Urban Decay has several effects available from matte to consistencies that include a background effect to enhance shadows.

My eyelids tend to be oily which is why I first sought a primer. A good eye makeup routine would consist of base primer, either cream or powder shadow (cream has increased staying power with a powder topcoat but more about that in a minute), and top the look with a light dusting of translucent powder.

Although both are great primer products, in my opinion Urban Decay has more staying power at the end of an evening than Too Faced. Also, when I first purchased Two Faced the product separated until many more uses.  Of course everyone's skin reacts differently and each will have a preference. For oily lids I highly recommend the Urban Decay brand.

Cheers and happy priming!
