Hi! Does anyone have any good eye shadow base/primer recommendations? i finally realize that I need to invest in something that stays. I don't have one right now, so I use my benefit under eye concealer (salmon) on my eyelid to have something there for the eye shadow to stick to. I want to be able to maintain the pigmentation/smoothness the entire day without creasing. Everything I have used so far creases too.

I swear by Too Faced's Shadow Insurance. One tube goes a long, long way.

I use the Urban Decay Primer Potion (original). I have really oily lids and this primer helps my eye makeup stay on all day. Another thing you can do is to powder your eyelid before applying primer.

i have ud primer potion, two faced shadow insurance and nyx but none of them comepare to Urban Decay's eyeash primer (my opinion) but yes i said it eyelash primer its AMAZING...if you have some make sure you give it a try.

You can't go wrong with Too Faced or Urban Decay. Both are quality products and a little bit goes a long long way.

Thanks, ladies! xo I think I'm going to go with Too Faced since it seems to be favored by the majority :) 

I've used Too Faced and Urban Decay and I love both!

Urban Decay Primer Potion is great!

I've tried many, and I wouldn't say my eyelids are oily. I have a terrible time doing a good blend on top of the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. The Urban Decay Primer Potion is ok. I get the best results with Lancome Aquatique (staying power and blend). I've tried ELF, it's ok in a pinch (great for travel, it;s cheap, you don't have to worry if you lose it).  

I personally love Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Doesn't crease, and it really does help your shadows to last all day.

Urban Decay has got to be the best primer, but I would also recommend Mac's Painterly Paint Pot. It can be worn alone or as a base for your eyeshadow.

I like Urban Decay Primer Potion Original. I tried too faced shadow insurance and everything creased with it :/

urban decay primer potion is a really good high end one if your looking for something a little cheaper try the nyx HD eye primer :)

I feel like the only person who doesn't love UD Primer Potion, lol...I mean, the color of the shadows I use definitely pop more when I use it, but I notice that it doesn't help much with creasing. I like to use a concealer on my lids and then I use my Michael Todd Long Lasting creme shadow in Nude.
