    It works. It's cheap. On to the details. I tried a few primers before finding this one. Short version: none of them worked. I have oily eyelids and hooded eyes and within a couple of...

    I'm very satisfied with this product. Consistency & texture are just as they should be - not too liquid, not too dense. Really helps to create a good base for the eye shadow. It's a great product...

    Definitely great for the price paid! I guess wet and wild discontinued theirs and I've been waiting for avon's to go on sale, so thought I'd try this in the mean time. It works well. Better...

    This was the first eye primer that I've bought and tried, and my overall impression was pretty positive. I bought it because I used to wear eye shadow without primer, and I would notice significant...

    I bought this product when I couldn't find Wet n Wild in any of the stores I tried and hated it. I think it's mostly a problem with packaging: I don't want to a wet goopy product to my eyes with a...

    I bought this product in a pinch. I was hoping I would like it, but it doesn't really help my eye shadow last any longer. I wouldn't recommend this product.

    This is just meh for me. Didn't make my shadows pop and my shadows lasted okay, but did fade and creased a bit. Much prefer the primer with the liner sealer on one end. Nothing special IMO.

    I love this primer. It keeps my eye makeup fresh and in place. I like it because it's not as slippery (dimethicone-y) as others. And the price is unbeatable.

    The Elf primer should be given due credit for it's overall capability to outshine many other eyehadow primers. Sure you don't get heaps of product, but this stuff has lasted me months and works...

    My HG. Eyeshadow primer potions all do the same thing for me regardless of price or quality and to be honest, I probably don't really even need one most days, so this one does the trick. I'm a...

    Usually eyeshadow primer makes the eyeshadow color deeper and more vivid in addition to helping it stay on longer. This was not the case with this primer and it didn't help it last longer either. ...

    Does it job really well for the price.. I have double eyelids and I love using cream stick eyeshadows because they're so easy and quick but they always crease in my eyelid crease and it's not cute....

    LOVE this $1 primer by E.L.F. I usually use MAC paint pot in "soft ochre" as my eyelid primer which is thick and a little on the pricey side. Compared to Urban Decay Primer Potion, I liked the...

    Can't believe this is under a dollar. The big difference lies in the texture and consistency of the product. It's a little thicker than UDPP and as such feels a little different on your eyes. If...

    Gave this a try due to good reviews. I purchased this on eBay for less than $4 (including shipping) and it really works. Provides a great base for shadows to adhere to, creates a little extra...

    Perhaps I had a bad batch, but the product was very thick and clumpy, nearly impossible to blend in. I did not notice any extended longevity of eye makeup.

    I have to admit, as someone who has oily lids and would never dream of using eyeshadow/eyeliner without a primer, this product is pretty decent. I really like the wand packaging because it's...

    Maybe I need to use it a few more times, but it felt too chalky to me and almost too dry for the eyeshadow to stick. But then again, my only other experience is with the primer from Forever21,...
