ELF Eyelid Primer in Sheer

March 19, 2013

How does the $1 ELF eyelid primer perform?

I feel like an eyelid primer is a product that doesn’t make a difference if it’s drug store or high end. It’s suppose to prevent creasing, prolong wear, and make the colors vibrant.

For me, my eyelids never get oily and I don’t have a problem with creasing. So what I look for in an eyelid primer is if it makes the colors brighter and if it helps hold the color.

How I Use It: The ELF Eyelid Primer in Sheer has a skin toned color and is almost a lighter consistency concealer. Sometimes I just use it as a concealer to even out my eyelid skin tone and also underneath the eyes too. It’s less cakey and heavy than my usual concealers and I use it when there’s not really any problems.

How Does It Performs: This primer definitely helps make the colors more vibrant. It also helps bring out a sheen. I think it doesn’t do as a good of a job as the UDPP but at 1/30th of the price, it’s a much better bang for your buck. It helps my shadow adhere better as well.

Although I only notice minimal increase in length of wear. My eyelids usually can’t pack on a lot of color anyways. When I put it on the bottom, it helps my eyeliner stay on, although by the end of the day there is still smudging.

You can see it makes the biggest difference with light shadows.

Final Verdict: I feel like priming the eyelids is a step in the makeup routine that everyone uses but for me it doesn’t do anything extra. I will probably still repurchase this because it’s only $1 and it serves my purposes. It’s great for special events when I need my eyeshadows to pop! But on normal days I usually just wear a sheer wash of color and mascara.

Is eyelid primer an important part of your makeup routine?
