Has anyone else given this a shot?

Really? I've never ever heard of anyone using ChapStick as an eyeshadow primer. That's interesting.
I love Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion!

 
I'm glad you like it, Eva. I love how it makes my eyeshadow colors stand out more too! It works really well w/ my MAC e/s and colors that don't show up very well.

 
UDPP for now... Spray the e/s brush with Fix+, and voila! Lasts longer, no creasing, and looks WAY more vibrant! I still need to look into a CCB and paint though.

 
I use Paula Dorf eyeshadow base. It works great. I tried MAC Bare Canvas and didn't like it. One of the MAC MA's told me about this and uses it herself!

 
I like to use L'oreal "On the Loose" powder as my "pigment stick" it works fantabulous, and it holds all day without fading.

 
I like UDPP the best, even better than the paint + CCB. Mine UDPP has lasted over one year, and it is one product vs. two. = less money, one less step. Seems a no brainer to me.

I just bought the Loreal Decrease for like $6.00 at Wal mart. I really like it and can tell a difference in wear.

 
MAC Paint in Bare Canvas. I just got MAC Paint in Stilife and I'll be trying that shade later today. UDPP is very good but I get a better result from the paint and I also like that the Paint has color to it as the UDPP applies almost sheer and I have slight discoloration on my lids.

Paint + CCB did not work for me as it creased since my eyelids are hooded and very oily.

I use UDPP, Paints, CCBs and Shadesticks and can't say which I like most!
