I've been using Urban Decay Primer for awhile now and I've noticed that my lids are becoming quite dry. I don't use it everyday but when I do...omg...my poor lids feel tight and look super dry after removal. I use a moisturizing eyemake-up remover and that doesn't even soothe them. Have any of you faced the same problem? Open to suggestions.

To me the Too Faced Shadow Insurance kind of dried my eyelids...only when I have it on tho...I feels really thick and I don't use a lot of the product..it could just feel thick cuz its drying so it feels thick cuz on the finger its light weight but once it dries on my eyelids I can really feel the product..right now I'm using lorac behind the scenes and I'm loving it..very lightweight feel works great....I always use a little bit of eye cream on my eyes before I put any concealer and primer on my eyes just to keep it hydrated

Thank you ladies for the pointers and product suggestions. I will definitely need to start giving my lids some TLC by using an eye cream on the lids before using any primer. :)

Best thing to do is to moisturize your face including your eyelids prior to adding any type of primer. Allow several minutes between moisturizing and priming to allow the moisturizer to sink into your skin.
