What is everyone's favorite eye bases?

So..I bought Painterly paint pot back in April and I LOVED it. Its got a pretty big dip in it, so on Monday I decided to buy Bare Study. I don't really like Bare Study as much as Painterly, but to be honest, I can NEVER stay consistent with the same product.

I have dry eyelids and I heard UDPP (urban decay primer potion) is more for oily. And TFSI (too faced shadow insurance) never really interested me. I wanted to try BeneFit F.Y.Eye but I was reading reviews and someone said its like a mousse consistency.

So...what is everyones favorite eye primers? I'm confused on what to try!

PS, how is the MAC prep and prime EYE?

I use L'oreal de-crease and it works well for me... My shadow always stays where I put it........ If only I could put it where it needs to go.. Lol.

UDPP all over, never failed me and huge lasting power (both on my lids and in my stash lol, i use one bottle until its expiry date!).

I'm not a big fan of Sin, the goldenish version of UDPP. The MAC paint pots are good too, i have a blue one that really adds something when i'm wearing blue eyeshadow.

UDPP again and again. It's silky, smooth and has only failed me in 75% humidity but I didn't expect anything to last in that weather!

I have tried Painterly Paint pot but I prefer UDPP, try it...I'm sure you'll like it

I love UDPP as a primer. For bases I like my Painterly Paint Pot or my Revlon Illuminance creme shadows(which do need a primer or they will crease).

I have dry eyelids, and I love both UDPP and UDPP "Sin".

I actually have been using ELF's Mineral Eyeshadow Primer and that stuff absolutely glues your makeup to your eyelids. I live in very hot weather and it has yet to fail me. At $3 a tube it's an absolute steal.

UDPP. I use Quite Natural and Groundwork paint pots. The matte ones work the best.

I use MAC's Painterly Paint Pot, UDPP, and Max Factor's Erace concealer

I use Urban Decay Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance interchangeably.

They have about the same results for me: both great at preventing creases and making my eyeshadow look fresh ALL DAY!

But I lean towards my Too Faced Shadow Insurance more...mostly because the packaging is a lot more convenient. It's in a squeeze tube, allowing me to use every drop for it's $17 (plus tax)'s worth. As opposed to UDPP's irregularly shaped vial, where a lot of the product gets wasted...unless of course I cut the vial open and transfer the remaining product into a jar = Huge inconvenience.

L'Oreal's De-Crease is a good one if you're on a budget.

Also, I've found that Revlon's Illuminance Creme Shadows work really well as bases.



Regardless of what you use as a base/primer, just spritz on some MAC Fix+ at the end to give your makeup lasting hold. Works like a dream!

I switch between UDPP and Avons mousse eyeshadow. The avon mousse shadows come in a few different colours, I use the pacific pearl shade (sandy coloured) It's wonderful stuff, your shadow doesn't budge and best of all, it's cheap!

Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Thank you!

Artdeco eye shadow base and Make Up Factory eye shadow base.

Thank you to everyone!

I was like holy cow. Normally if I leave makeup on when heading into the pool half of it drizzles off of my face. Not on my eyelids lol.

UDPP is my fav

I have oily lids, uddp is the best.

dry lids so i just use a cream shadow like a lil bit tho....i have very dry skin...its almost sad
