I'd read about claudia stevens base somewhere, and went to Sally's this week to look for it, as I am running low on UDPP. I have Loreal Decrease, but it doesn't really impress me, and I wanted to see if I could find another brand that was less $$ than UD.

The Claudia Stevens Eyeshadow primer I found at Sallys is in a tube, not a pot, and it has an applicator wand. It looks white, but goes on your lids clear, which doesn't matter to me since I will be putting shadow over it anyway. Both yesterday and today I put the CS on one eye and UDPP on the other, and then used Wet n Wild's MegaEyes shadow in Fine Wink - a decent shadow but not one that stays well w/o primer.

Well, both eyes looked great yesterday, AND today. The only thing I DON'T like about this primer is that is has a slightly grainy texture. Not a texture I want to be rubbing into my eyelids. However, it is I believe $4.99 normally, I got it on sale for $2.59, and as long as you are gentle with the application, the graininess shouldn't be a problem.

I will have to look and see if they still have the pot version next time I am at Sally's.

PS not sure how much product is in the UD tube, but CS is .33 fl. oz.
