This is amazing, I've even fallen asleep with my makeup on a couple of times (whoops) and I wake up to perfect eyes, it doesn't budge! The only thing I would say is that for the price, I was very disappointed when it dried up in the bottle as it wasn't too long after I bought it so I felt I didn't really get my money's worth. Hoping that was just a one off though.

After using Lorac eye primer for over a year, I was very pleased with the texture and the results of the product then I tried UD when Sephora Canada stopped carrying my beloved Lorac eye primer and I was immediately disappointed with Urban Decay's eye primer.

My lids are not extremely oily--just normal, but the greasy texture of the UD compared to the Lorac primer was a big turn off. It is more liquid/gel-like and less cream based so it took more time to absorb. Lorac seemed to help mattify a great deal more for me. I tried the UD on one lid and the Lorac primer on the other. It did not out-performance Lorac in my humble opinion. My shadow and liner remained in tact at the end of the day on both lids. UD primer took longer to absorb and the list of parabens in the ingredient list was a huge turn off also.

The UD primer was returned after one usage. It all comes down to preference perhaps but this product feels oilier and heavier in texture initially and though it proved to work throughout the day, I do not want added chemicals in my cosmetics to cause health problems in the future so I exchanged UD primer for Tarte "clean slate 360 creaseless" eye primer. So far, Tarte primer has a dewy and light texture and is paraban-free. Let's see how it stacks up to the Lorac eye primer in the next month. I may have to replenish my Lorac eye primer fix in my next trip to the US.

Yep. My HG eye primer!! I exchanged the shade EDEN to this. I personally like this one better. The Eden was too yellow toned for my skin but this dries almost clear. Love it! Lasts forever too!

I think I'm on my third tube of this primer by now. I love this one! I tried Too Faced Shadow Insurance, which I liked but I like this Urban Decay one better. I have oily lids, and this primer definitely helps my eyeshadow stay on a lot longer. If I forget to use this, all my hard work is gone in a few hours! I don't like the tube packaging it's in. I feel like I can't get all the product out if it. I might just cut it open when I'm almost done with it...

This stuff is awesome. A little pricey but you really only need a little bit. I usually use the ELF eye primer for everyday use, and save this for when I really want extra staying power.. this is really good stuff & my colors go on so much darker, smoother.. I'll always keep a tube of this handy!

This works great for my oily lids (just as great as TFSI). I can't imagine wearing eyeshadow without a primer of some kind underneath, and has become a staple. It makes my shadows apply richer, smoother and makes them last and last. I have *zero* creasing issues when I use this primer, and I have slept in my eyeshadow. Great cult classic. The new tube packaging is much more practical.

This has to be the world's #1 primer. Its AMAZINGGG. I have the big professional sized tube and its lasts forever. I use it everyday and it seriously holds up my eye-makeup wonderfully. I also use this underneath my eyes to hold my concealer in place. I never get any creasing when i use this product under my eyes. Amazing!

It works! I will never go back to using other primers now that I've tried this - it works better than anything I've ever tried and keeps my eye makeup on all day.

I haven't really used a lot of other eye primers because I love this one SO much. It is a little bit pricy at $20, but I had been finding for for only $9 at Nordstrom Rack (I think because they got new packaging and the ones at the Rack were still in the old package, which was fine with me!) Either way, I will eventually repurchase at full price because this stuff is seriously amazing. Without it, my liquid eyeliner and eyeshadow is all over the place at the end of the day, and with it, nothing moves! I would recommend to anyone!

I've compared this lid by lid other brands such as elf or nyx for multiple days in row. Nothing comes close! Lasts all day and over night... amazing! I'm in love. I've tried original and eden. I prefer original just because I feel the color stays more true and it's much lighter than eden. Eden has more coverage and brightens the eyelid. Both work amazing though, It's just personal preferance. Eden works well for covering dark under eye circles too. ;)

Works wonders on my oily eyelids. If I fall asleep my eyeshadow hasn't creased when I wake up. It is the only primer I've tried. However, if I use anything except eyeshadow with it, it creases. I try to use it with my concealer and it creases. I tried it with some cream shadow and it creases. But I do love it for eyeshadow.

Even though I probably wouldn't buy this again because I've started trying to avoid parabens, I'll be honest - this works really, really well. I'm a full-time student with a full-time job who likes to hit the gym at the end of the day, and if I use this stuff in the morning - and we're talking like 5:30 AM - my eyeshadow does not budge until I wipe it off at night. I like the tube packaging, too; it's simple, clean, and sanitary. This stuff has earned its rave reviews. I'm hoping to find a paraben-free one that's just as good.

I resisted buying this due to the price--but I'm glad I finally took the plunge. I can see why this is so popular. It doesn't take much extra time to apply, and just a tiny dab on each eyelid really helps shadow stay put (and intensifies the color). I am more inclined to make eye shadow part of my routine now that I know it will actually stay put. The tube should last a good long while, making this a reasonable value despite the $20 price tag.

This is such a hyped product because it is very popular! Every review i have seen on YouTube is great! So i decided to check on here and add my own review since i have tried many of their primers! So i own all of the UD primers, from the original, to sin, to greed, etc! I personally will always love the original because it covers my eyelid area very well making it match along with the foundation i am wearing! Every time i have wore eyeshadow with any of these primers it has lasted ALL day and night! I definitely recommend this primer to anyone before trying something else because you will not be disappointed, i am telling you! My eyeshadow has never creased when using any of these, i also love the Too Faced Shadow Insurance and recommend that as well but thats another story! Anyways if you can, get this, all the color selections are great and i really recommend the Original or any of the others!

I am a really big fan of this primer. I had been using Benefit's FY but it was too priey and dried up rather quickly. I then switched to L'Oreal Decrease. I do like that one, but after a few hours I would notice that my shadow was creasing in the inner corner of my eyes. After reading so many raves on this one I decided to pick it up at Sephora. I must say that it really does the job!! There is no need to put a ton of this on as the staying power is great and only a little is required. The other day it was raining and I walked to the car thinking I was going to be a mess and I looked fine.


I give this a great recommendation and will definitely repurchase

I love this primer and i LOVE the packaging. Such a creative and fun primer to use that is so easy to apply to the skin. I wear primer almost everyday under eye makeup and urban decay's primer extends the life of my eyeshadow application
