COMPARISON | Eye Shadow Primer
Eye shadow primer is the key to maintaining your eye makeup during a long day. And if you're like me, who has very oily eyelids, its essential and not optional.
I've tried quite a few different primers.
Let's get started!
Only $1, this eyelid primer can be found at Target and eyeslipsface.com. As a primer, it's not bad. It lasted about 6 hours until I noticed creasing. So for a dollar you really can't go wrong trying it out. But there are better ones on the market.

The one I use currently retails for $7 at Ulta, some Targets, and nyxcosmetics.com. This primer is the only drugstore eye shadow primer that has worked for more than 7 hours without creasing. However, it does crease after 8 hours on me. I'd recommend giving it a try. Though on initial application you will need to blend it out as it settles in lines right away.

My holy grail eye shadow primer is the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. This retails for $20 at Ulta, Sephora, and toofaced.com. This primer gives me a full 12 hours without creasing. Most of the time I see no creasing at all even when I am taking my makeup off at night. It is pricey, but well worth it.
