Not too sure

Jasmine

I really didn’t see much of a difference, I’ve used drugstore eye primers before that hold up better than this.
  1. Now this I love!

    Love this for extending your eye shadow life, easy to apply, doesn't feel greasy or oily, and will ensure your eyes rock a 24 hr period ! Love it!
  2. Drying

    JJ

    Unfortunately despite friends recommending this did not work for me and was drying and left residue that irritated me so I had to throw away after 2 uses.
  3. Pricey but works

    Nus

    This really does extend eyeshadow looks and keeps it intact whole night looking fresh. I haven' tried a better primer for eyes than this
  4. So good

    Addisin

    I love this primer
  5. Disappointing

    GP

    Expected better from MAC. The consistency was nowhere near as good as the Nars product, nor does it have the same staying power. Squeezing from the tube is also not as easy as products with application wands. Disappointing.
  6. Lasting coverage

    Marie

    A good eye primer that lasts throughout the day but really only good for powder eyeshadow and not cream. Goes on seamlessly but needs to dry completely before you put eyeshadow on.
  7. Staple for colourful eyeshadow looks

    Madison (Adore Beauty Staff)

    This works really well to brighten the pigment of eyeshadows! It also helps it to crease less during the night. At first I thought $39 for a tiny tube is pretty steep, but literally you need the TINIEST amount, this will last me years!

  18. A go to

    Ingrid

    I have been using this for years with all eyeshadow & still love it. It makes all eyeshadow last throughout the day and evening.
  19. Never fails

    Ceceblue

    Hands down best primer. Eye shadows blend even easier with this baby. Eye shadow stays on longer- no creases or clumps.
  20. Great primer

    S

    Really fantastic primer that keeps my eyeshadow on all day. Only downside is its price point.
  21. eye base

    anna

    keeps my eyeshadow in place the whole day (and I have oily lids). Very impressed.
  22. Amazing

    alla

    This stopped my eyeshadow from creasing all evening, however it is quite pricey and runs out quickly.
  23. The best primer

    D

    This is the best primer ever. It’s super soft and blends my makeup in perfectly. It isn’t sticky and doesn’t ball up like other primers.
  24. Does work

    Rebecca

    This definitely works. You only need a tiny bit so even if you used this every day you would still have enough to last months.
  25. Smooth

    Rachel

    A very smooth eye primer that blurs lines and prolongs eye makeup
  26. Long lasting

    Nadia

    It helps my eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner to stay all day and not smudge. It is a bit pricey, but one tube lasts me about a year so it's not that bad really. I've been using this product for a year now and it's the best primer I've found for my oily and hooded eyelids.
  27. Great primer

    mel

    Great primer, eyeshadow always blends perfectly and doesnt feel tacky like a lot of other primers
  28. The best!

    Jas

    This is such a good eye primer. It's a small tube, but you only need the tiniest amount. I have very oily eyelids, and this primer makes my eyeshadow stay on all day, even in the Australian heat!
  29. great

    nik

    It makes my eyeshadows last all day. It’s a great eye primer.
  30. Great eyeshadow primer

    Mara

    This tube looks small but it will last me a very long time because you need very little of it. Just a little smear spreads easily over my eyelids. It makes my eyeshadows last all day long. It’s a great little primer which I use almost everyday.
  31. Works well, but not much difference to their other primer

    Tash

    I don't know that it's necessary to use the eye primer as well. I find the full face primer to be enough.
  32. Quality

    Nina

    I use this everyday. You don't need much at all so value for money. Eye shadow stays on all day.
  33. I really liked this

    Joel

    I’m a big fan. I think it helps a lot and I use it constantly!
  34. Bought after Pinkie recommended it!

    CarleyP

    I purchased this after attending the Pinkie masterclass that she did at adore beauty. This product is great. I apply a little to the back of my hand and warm it up with my finger before dabbing on my eyelid. It’s my favourite that I’ve tried to date. (urban decay, nars, etc)
  35. smooths out wrinkles

    aron

    This is really nice for wrinkly eyes and it smooths it out so the wrinkles don't look as prominent.
  36. works great on oily eyelids

    monique

    works a charm on oily eyelids, helps shadows last all day and helps with colour payoff too
  37. Keeps eyeshadow on all day

    Rachel

    I have quite oily hooded eyelids. This primer works well, compared to others I have used. When I don’t use this I use MAC paint pot in Painterly which also works very well.
  38. Love this product!

    Kylie

    I've been using this product for a couple of years now and it's the best primer I've found for my oily and hooded eyelids. It helps my eyeshadow and liquid eyeliner to stay all day and not smudge. It is a bit pricey, but one tube lasts me about a year so it's not that bad really. :)
  39. Amazing!

    Cassie

    This works so, so well! It has never let me down, making my eyeshadow stay in place ALL DAY - still looking amazing at the end of the day as it did at the beginning.
  40. Hydrating

    Brittany

    I feel this product really hydrated my under eyes, helped deminish fine lines and kept my eye concealer in place without moving all day.
  41. Perfect

    Jemma

    This is the only product that has stayed in my makeup collection without ever needing to be replaced with a different variety. Foundations, concealers, I’m always trying new ones. This? Never.
    Only need the tiniest amount, it goes so far and eye makeup stays in place all damn day.
  42. Not too sure

    Jasmine

    I really didn’t see much of a difference, I’ve used drugstore eye primers before that hold up better than this.
  43. Worthy Investment

    Maddy

    If you're applying heavy eye makeup then this is a must, it really does help the product to stay in place all day. I was sceptical and thought I got up sold in store, but honestly it's changed my smokey eye's
  44. This product really works!

    Bonnie Rose

    I am a MAC lover but im not just being biased , this product actually works, it works extremely well on oily lids !
  45. debatable

    Abby

    i feel like this works great when matched with all MAC products, but when i decide to use different products it tends to not work as well which is a really pain. i like the formula but just not impressed with the pairing it has with other brands, its unfortunate
  46. Definitely long lasting

    Jessica

    Definitely keeps eyeshadow and eyeliner from moving. I love that it’s translucent and it does do what it says - extend your eye base. Recommend!
  47. Not good enough for oily lids

    Lilia

    I still get so much creasing and shadow fading with this eye primer. I tried using more, less, warming it up, setting, not setting, all to no avail. I do have greasy lids, so it may work well for those with less greasy lids but this was not strong enough for me. It also made my eyelids look quite dry, and eyeshadow didn’t go on particularly smooth over some parts of this.
  48. nice formula

    Abby

    this is a great base and i will repurchase as i got a sample size and helped keep y eye shadow crisp and clean all day
  49. Smooth and long lasting

    Emma

    Keeps my oily lids matte all day which helps my eyeshadow and liner stay still. Even helps my mascara from smudging and transferring onto my lids.
  50. Worth it

    Sheridan

    If you're applying heavy eye makeup then this is a must, it really does help the product to stay in place all day.
  51. Good

    Penelope

    Really nice eye primer that holds your look together all day.
  52. Long lasting

    Yasemin

    Great eye base lasts ages without going oily
  53. Nice

    Tried a sample of this and I'll probably buy it.
