I’m half Japanese with creased eyelids, and this product has been essential in my everyday make up routine to hold eyeshadow and eyeliner. I’ve tried multiple different eyeshadows primers, but this one far surpasses and earns 5 stars.

Works really well with eyeshadow. Super silky texture. The product is not tinted in any way.

This is a most I can’t do my makeup without it. Without it my shadows come off and look horrible. This is important for my makeup routine.

I have super oily eyelids - oil often runs into my eyes by the end of the day. I tried this after other eye primers left my eye make up with creases and smudges. This is the only primer I've found that keeps my makeup in place all day. Love, love, love it!

I've cycled through so many different shadow primers, but this one is by far the best I've used, and I haven't bothered with any others since I tried it for the first time. The eyeshadow goes on so pigmented and stays put all day, but is still easy to blend. Just remember that a little bit goes a long way, and you only need a small dot to cover both lids.

Love this stuff, it helps my shadow and liner stay put, plus makes the colors pop. Only need a few dabs for each application so it lasts forever

I do love this product (it's lightweight, good on oily hooded lids, doesn't crease alot and really longwearing used with setting spray). However I've had an issue with the packaging the last 2 times I've purchased, with full and mini size. The tube splits apart and I've had to transport the product to another container. It stays at home in a box so it's not at the bottom of my bag, and it still split apart with gentle use.

This is the best primer I've found so far for my very oily eyelids. I can get almost 10 hours of wear out of a look without any creasing and just a little fading. Most other primers I can only get 4-6 hours. I took one star off because it does not last 24 hours.
