So tomorrow I am going shopping.
SUPPOSED to be for clothes only.
But I can't help but buy makeup whenever I'm out.
Since I really shouldn't get any makeup right now I've decided to only spend about 50.
I'm thinking MAC Fix +
NYX jumbo pencil in black bean & milk. & urban decay shadow primer.
Yay or nay.
& Opinions please!
Also, what exactly are the uses of the fix +
& would it make sense to purchase a small tube of the primer instead?
Thank you!! :)

@rebecca I don't know what exactly I even want the fix + for! Lol. I definitely don't care for a refresher. So maybe I will take that off the list... Thanks.

Primer is an essential so if you already have primers that work well, only buy the smaller tube. However yes,I would consider the smaller tube if you haven't used it befor.

I use my fix + to take away that over powdered look.

Elf's eyeshadow primer is a dupe for the urban decay one.

@natalie oooh. Maybe I will get that instead. Thanks. :)

I find the irban decay one outperforms the elf one.

A lot of people use mac prolong wear concealer as primer because it has the technology not to crease!

Natalie I really doubt its a dupe... I would pass on the nyx jumbo pencils they crease way to much.

I agree with the Natalie elf does have a really good eye primer just make sure you get the mineralized one for 3 dollars. It's a really good dupe for urban decay. I use both

I want to try the pro long wear concealer from MAC. And the travel size fix + has lasted me a while.

Elf's is decent but I wouldn't say it's a dupe for the UD one at all but maybe that's just me lol. I like the Nyx pencil in milk but I really only use it as base, not an actual eyeshadow. I haven't tried it in any other color.

The ELF and urban decay primers are like the same thing. I have used up my urban decay one but don't use it anymore. I switched to ELFs.

I never have creasing issues with my NYX jumbo pencils? I love them.. I recommend getting them :))

I like primer potion a lot, it works well for me, and I use nyx pencil in milk for an eyeshadow base so the colours show up better. I've never really had problems with it creasing (but of course it will if you apply it too thickly). hope this helps (:

If you use the e.l.f. primer under the NYX pencil, then your eye shadow on top you will have vibrant shadows that last all day. That's how I do my makeup every day and I have had people ask if I use MAC or Inglot when it is really dollar store shadows!
The Urban Decay primer was absolute garbage to me, it didn't last an hour before my makeup went to hell. Huge waste of money.
