This stuff is awesome. I usually buy an extra tube and use that one just for my lips before applying liner/lipstick. And I love that u can pick it up at any target and not have to travel 'far' to pick it up. Works great!

This stuff is AMAZING! And it's only one friggen dollar!! You can't go wrong with that! Now, I don't think it's as good as the UDPP but if you aren't going out for a whole day or even (wedding, graduation, etc.) and you need something for a daily basis such as school or work, this will work great. It keeps my eyeshadow in place for about 6-7 hours which is more than enough for me. I also love how it somewhat conceals your eyelids so you have a nice blank canvas to work with. I love this stuff and I would repurchase over ad over again!

I have never had problems with this primer, it is great for the price and it works really well for making eyeshadows look even more pigmented and great and don't forget on all day! I have never had problems with creasing from this primer so I can't complain but I do recommend this primer if you are hesitant to buy a different primer like Urban Decay PP or Too Faced Shadow Insurance which both cost way more!

I decided to try this out after hearing good things about it, but when I used it like 3 hours later ,my eyeshadow creased! Ive never had a problem with that before until I used this primer. Before, I used a little bit of primer thats normally for the face, it held the eyeshadow perfectly and made it looking like new all day. I love E.L.F., but for me this product did not work at all.

This is a GREAT dupe for UDPP. I would rank them UDPP 1 and E.L.F 1A. It really is that good and the price can't be beat. I use it under my UD shadows at times and they stay put just as well.

I have really oily lids, so when i bought this product i was not expecting it to do much for me. I only bought it because it was cheap and i'd never tried anything from E.L.F. Turns out this product is amazing. It held my shadows in place and it also helped with my oily lids. This primer usually last me about 5 hours then i notice my lids start to get oily and the shadows fade. but for what you pay 5 hours is amazing! I really love that it helps with my oily lids, even if i'm not wearing makeup I will put some of this on my lids to just keep the oil at bay. it's honestly a really great quality product for the price you pay. I have, and will be, repurchasing more of this primer and i'll defiantly be trying out more E.L.F products.

Been using this primer for over 4 years! I use to you Urban Decay & Too Faced, primers.. But! Then I randomly bought this eyelid primer & I was shocked! I did a smokey eyeshadow with some glitter, & it stayed on all night! No Crease! It's to easy to blend out because it's creamy but not oily...This primer took over, I stopped buying the expensive ones, now I only pay 1 Dollar for primer can you believe that! How amazing! My favorite primer of all time!... Only complain would be that really wish it would come in a tube form, would be easier that way.. Other than that I love this eyelid primer! Never discontinue it or I'll go Nuts!!!!!!!

I love this stuff! If I use it when I put on my makeup in the morning, my eyeshadow and eyeliner last until I wash my face at night. I never would have guessed that such an inexpensive primer would perform better than the high-end ones I've tried. I can't imagine doing my makeup without this amazing product!

This product barely had anything in the container Nd it is oily. I do not recommend. It also doesn't really keep your eyeshadow on any longer. Not worth it to me.

I find this primer to be comparable to smash box, just a little thinner. Will buy again

I can't believe I'm 40 this year and I'm only just realizing this product exists!!!!!!!

I've had oily lids my whole life and as a result just never bothered that much with eye make up because 2 hours after application it's gone.This stuff is the BEST!

For the price, the durability and the fact that it just plain works, run, don't walk to your nearest Target :D

This primer probably would be great for those who don't have oily lids. Does it act as a good base to help color payoff? I'm not too sure. For me, it didn't work at all because it could not hold against my oily lids. But I could see this as a great dirt cheap primer for dryer lids! Very easy to use with a doe foot applicator. I do like squeeze tubes better for primers because I feel like I am able to use ALL the product. The tube never dried up on me. Since I am tan, I would say that this does dry a lighter shade than my skin. Definitely doesn't dry clear. But it's worth the money!

This is pretty much the only eyeshadow primer that I use now because its so cheap and it works so well. It never creases with my powder eyeshadows, although I haven't tried it with cream eyeshadow. It keeps my eyes looking grease-free and freshly applied all day. Addressing the cons: everyone who says this product makes their lids oily and doesn't keep it on, may not be using enough to cover EVERYWHERE (browbone too) that the eyeshadow is applied. One section of your eye gets oily=rest of your eye getting oily. Make sure you apply thoroughly and I'm sure this product will work for you. The reason I gave the packaging a 4 is that it gets stuck around the rim of the screw off top sometimes if you don't close it SUPER TIGHT.

I was a big fan of Bare Minerals Prime Time eyelid primer, but I stumbled across E.L.F's primer, and decided to try it out for a buck rather than go spend $20 on the Bare Minerals. After the first day of wearing E.L.F, I was sold. No creases, and my eyes crease big time, especially in the summer since I work in an office with NO A/C. I immediately ran to the store and stocked up on it. It has totally exceeded my expectations.
