e.l.f. Essential Primer Eyeshadow

Comments about elf Cosmetics Primer Eyeshadow:

Everything is great about this product except for the color pay off. It is long lasting. I put it on, did a fashion show and then went out and mowed the grass. When I came back it it was still on and did not crease. The only complaint I have is that it is very shear. I tried to apply it twice but it did not increase the color.

I use this each morning for my eye shadow and it seems to be doing it's job? Or my eye shadow is just really good at saying on. I don't have oily lids so it's hard to say. Worth a try I think.

I picked up the misty mauve & coco loco at TBS awhile back. I finally played around with them today. Honestly i don't really like them all that much. I tried them alone on my eyelid. If you have hooded eyes you MUST wait for the product to dry before you open your eye at all or it will transfer to hooded part :( We all know that shimmer should never go on that part so they are tricky. The misty mauve is a pretty color, perhaps better suited to spring/summer looks. It's like a frosted light purple. The coco loco is bronze.... literally looks like polished bronze. Normaly a bronzy tone would look good with my green/hazel eyes but this wasn't the case with this one, maybe the color was just too bold. Maybe would be better with a powder shadow overtop tone it down? Also the coco loco was a bit streaky. Probably better suited for the younger crowd LOL!

Never used primer before but finally got tired of my eyeshadows creasing, flaking, fading, etc. Ordered this and I love it so far. I wasn't sure how to use it at first- to apply shadow while it's wet or wait until it dries so I had to play around with it a bit. For me, I find it works best if I wait until it's mostly dry and it does what I wanted it to do- holds my shadow in place. I think it could also be used as a shadow itself, as it has nice color and shimmer to it.

i use this - in the Misty Mauve shade - as a tinted eyeshadow primer. and i love it!

i use the wand to put a few dabs on my eyelid, load up my eyeshadow brush with whatever colour i want to wear, use a finger to gently spread the primer to where i want it, and then pat the eyshadow on while the primer is still wet. after that? nothing's gonna budge. even on my oily eyelids which go shiny in no time at all, and most eyeshadows will settle into the crease of my eyelid within a few hours.

using my method and this stuff as primer, i've had my eyeshadow stay on and vibrant for well over 24 hours.

if i concentrate, yes, i can feel it on my eyelids. but, then, i'm also used to wearing tons of mascara and/or false eyelashes so it's a familiar sensation to me and isn't a negative or anything unpleasant.

this stuff is a fantastic value!

Super cheap, and the perfect every day shade. I just glide it over my eyes, blend in with my finger, then add some champagne colored powdered shadow, and my eyeshadow is done for the day.

I was very disapointed with this product. I love all my other products from elf. They sure are a bang for the buck but this one flaked right off me and was "smudgy" I guess you could say. I believe it was the way I am using the product though. I use this as an eye shadow base or primer and tried to apply my eye makeup on top and it flaked like crazy. It looked horrible. It ruined my eye make up that day. I tried to use it a few more times as not to give up so quickly but the same thing happened. I think if you use these alone it would work but I also put mine on top a layer of fountation and face powder, which is what I always do with my primers,(to enhance staying power). That also made it cakey, smudgey, and flake. If used alone I could see it really sticking but also making your eyelid tight, which is something I would not deal with. To get the staying power use the normal primer with shadow on top and finish with a setting spray over your entire face. That way you dont have to deal with the tightness or flaking. This is the first review I wrote for elf and its negative but I have bought many products from this company and with keep buying from them. I love elf!

I ordered this in sultry satin and i love it! its great to have in the summer to add quick subtle color to your lids, and it lasts all day long. It also works great as a base color for your other eyeshadow, and it helps keep it in place without creasing or smudging. It can get a little messy if you get to much on your lid, but overall its a great product! i was hoping it would be a good alternative to the other brand of primer eyeshadow i was using that was 4 times the price of this, and it definitely is!

You put it on and it doesn't budge. Great color payoff!!

I was so excited about this product because I hate to have my eyeshadow caked into the creases in my eyelid at the end of the day. I used this for the first time yesterday and was SO PLEASED! However, I put it on this morning and OW! It was BURNING my eyelids! I won't be using this one again. I've never had overly sensitive skin, but I've never really used anything except for powders on my eyelids before (eyeliners, excluded).
