Eye Primer

[taz1979]

hello

id like to know which you think is the best eye primer ie to keep eyeshadow in place

but im talking mineral based

so obviously udpp will be best for most of you-and i agree its excellent but id like a mineral based one

any recommendations??

I haven't come across any mineral eye primers in any of the websites. Maybe someone has? UDPP is the only thing that makes my e/s stay put. Even those cream types sold by mineral makeup sites don't work for me.

usually i use udpp, but once i tried the combination of foundation, concealer and a neutral e/s (i use it as a base and to cover my blue discolorations) on my lids. the e/s i applied after didn't crease, but lol there was 3 layers of mineral products under.

hmm i wonder if tht fyrinnae ones any good

 

[BeneBaby]

Sorry I have no idea??? I only use UD PP.

Yeah same here, never heard of a mineral base primer, but I WORSHIP UDPP>

 

[reesesilverstar]

am i the only person who has issues w/ UDPP???

Ok, lemme append to this thread:

Have any of the "dark-skinned" MUTers had a chalky look after puttin UDPP on? Or rather anybody had this problem putting it on a dark skintone. I put it on, and there's this like white-wash on my lids. And it looks weird even after I put on the shadow...

(Maybe my technique is off)

so is stuff like milan gelle drops and fyrinnaes e/s base not mineral based???

im just trying to see if i can keep away from traditional mu alltogether so thout id find alternative to traditional udpp

Although it's not "mineral based" since I doubt any primers are (except for the powder ones). Try milan minerals' gelle drops. It's clear and kept the e/s on all day. I was shocked. Also Milan minerals is created by a dark skinned black woman, so she made something we (dark skinned chicks) can use.

I use my setting powder (I have a great one from Elemental Beauty called Matt) as a MMU primer over my moisturiser and under my foundation. I also use this over my eye area. After that I apply my MMU foundation, also over eye area (sometimes I use a little undereye concealer too when I need it) and then I apply my eyeshadow. Over that I apply another thin layer of MMU setting powder, and then I set my makeup with a thin mist of water. All makeup stays put all day, no creasing eyeshadow either.

Bare Escentuals has their own and it is sheer - only available on their website for now.

Bare Escentuals just came out with one. I really want to try it. If it works as good as their face primer, it will definately be a winner!

 

[macydieterly200]

id love to try the bare escentuals one.

what is udpp?

 

[iammakeupaddict]

udpp = urban decay primer potion

I like Fyrinnae shadow base, although it's not all minerals. It works well, not as well as udpp, but pretty good. Just make sure you do smooth it out very well before putting on e/s.

I don't know if anybody here knows about the Korean Brand Etude House but they have this really good eye primer called Proof 10 eye primer. It is really good almost as good as UDPP but not as expensive. check this review it might help http://thecuriouszealot.blogspot.com/2011/03/product-review-etude-house-proof-10-eye.html
