So good!
I have dry mature skin. As I get older I feel the need to use an eyeshadow primer. After trying so many with no success I decided to purchase this and I’m on my third bottle. It works it doesn’t dry out my skin or make it oily and eyeshadows stays in place look flawless and pop!!! Love it. Don’t know why the 3 stars review. Use the applicator directly to the eyelids and spread a bit with fingers and let it dry for a few seconds and voilà.
Pretty good for 4+ hours of sweaty hiking
Tested this primer and the TF mink mirage eye quad on a 4+ hours sweaty hike. I was impressed by the minimal to no smearing or running of the colors. I smudged my lash line and upper lid with the dark brown and it stayed put completely, which was awesome! I washed the upper lids with the lighter brown but by the end of the hike it looked like it disappeared, but the color is only slightly darker than my skin and it was kind of hard to tell if the primer worked because the color is so nude. I would assume it did because the dark brown stayed put. Overall I like the primer a lot. I used to use TF dual primer (the one in the pot with the cream and powder) which I liked a lot, and this one is even better. This one is brightening. I let it dry and then applied shadow. A lot comes out with the applicator so I wipe the applicator against the tube first to get some off.
Not suited for hooded eyes
I just wanted to write a review to let others, mostly with hooded eyes, that the primer does not seem to last as well as other primers. I don't know if it's the heat of the hood but it just seems to melt even after letting it fully set. It worked great everywhere else but I just wanted to give anyone with hooded eyes a heads up. Also don't think it'll do well if you have oily lids.
