TARTE'S LIFTED NATURAL EYE PRIMER WITH FIRMATOL!

I've never had an oily face or eyelids, but I do get a crease when using creme shadows.  Maybe I'll try to swing a sample of this. Thanks for the tip, Sweetassgal!

Not to UDPP, but to my beloved Kumaara, and I cannot say it beats that, but it certainly has its own charm and advantages.  I like its no-tug-iness for sure, and the blendability is effortless.  The color is a bit too light for me, since I am of the darker-is-better school when I'm in a coveruppy mood, but for lighter skintones I would definitely recommend this.  And it's a neat fit in my makeup bag, so I take it on the go.

Ack!  I suppose it is a concealer, but I have been using it as a primer with great success ever since it came out.  Mea culpa.

I need to use an eye primer daily due to my oily eyelids. I just discovered a few weeks ago that primer really stops the oil from forming, I'm so excited about that fact, that I had to tell my mom also, who has completely given up on wearing any eye makeup at all. I am currently using UDPP, love the formula, hate the packaging. I want to try Too Faced, but I think I am going to try ELF next since it's only $3 and if that works, it would become my HG since I'm all about saving money. This stuff looks good too, but a little pricey for me. (I know, it's only $3 more than the stuff I am currently using, but still..)

I "liked" the Tarte primer: the downside is the applicator which I found a bit "pokey..." Is that a word? LOL! I have been a HUGE fan of Tarte's products for years and honestly can live with having to use another brush to apply,otherwise it's fabulous! I also LOVE costumes and used to create REALLY elaborate ones for my grandkids: alas,they are too cool now so I stick to other creative ops in order to preserve sanity,LOL! Sounds like you were quite the girl on Halloween and always! :) 

This sounds like the product I've been looking for!!!!  I'm not happy with my current primer and have been looking for a good replacement!  Thanks!!And I agree, we need photos of this fab Twenties Tarte! haha

I agree, please post halloween pics!! I love the fact that you make your own costume. I am so not creative I end up buying mine!! I have never tried this product or anything by Tarte before but this may be a good place to start.

I've never heard of this before, but it looks interesting enough to try.

This sounds terrific and it's going right on my list of this months "have to buy" beauty products.  Thanks for a great review and especially the puns!

This is another one of those products that we don't have in Australia. It sounds amazing.

wow, a product that suppresses creased eye shadow AND lifts up my baggy old brows?  Hmm, I may have to actually splurge for this.

This will replace my other two fave primers for two reasons.  It's lighter, which means excellent blend-a-bility, and it's chalk full of healthy ingredients. I especially liked what it did for that tiny outer corner area under my lower lash line.  I realize it is not intended for that area but I always apply a tiny bit of primer there because my eyes water so much!  It offered amazing staying power through all the tears.  Which means I don't have to hassle with waterproof eyeliner.  And I definitely noticed a tighter, smoother looking eye area. It just felt good, nice, tight, smooth and bright. (Poetry anyone?) Confession time:  It also stays beautifully all through the night.  A few nights ago, I went to bed with my make up on (the horror) and my peepers looked really good that next morning. What more can you ask for in one tube of primer?  

i have never used a primer, i'm lazy and the primers here are ridiculously expensive, so i just use some maybelline mousse eyeshadow.. it does a fair job and intensify the eyeshadow.i don't know if i have an oily lid :S but a lot of my cream shadow often end up in my crease..I wish halloween was more of a tradition here, it sounds terrible but i went out for dinner with a few friends to avoid trick or treaters.. not that we get many anyway.. (last year we had terrible rude teenage boys banging on the whole neighbourhood doors and spitting on everyone's lawns!!!). There's a fair amount of halloween dress up house parties but theres not much of the vibe here. :(

"Firmotol?"  What a beautiful name.  Anything that lifts is a hit for me!  I may even separate myself from my Urban Decay and others to try this.  Tantejoan and hao9703, count me in for using Kumaara as a base as well.  I employ L'Oreal's De-Crease primer as a concealer and it lasts forever.

Okay everyone...first off I'm trying to locate a Halloween pic of my flapper face.  SOMEONE at work has to have one!Second...I got ready this morning and put the UDPP on my right eye and Tarte on my left.  So far I'm noticing two things....They both go on smooth and dry quickly and they both give really good coverage.However, the UDPP seems to be a slightly more natural color...very neutral with a light beige while the Tarte has a little more yellow in it (on my white skin its a little noticeable but would be perfect on someone with different undertones) and of course the packaging is too cute.But the Tarte is DEFINITELY going to work on a noticible eye crease!  I can actually see that it's less severe.  Of course I've been obsessing and staring at it for about 15 minutes.  I hadn't even noticed it much until now!  Also...the natural ingredients and enivironmentally friendly factor of the packaging are a huge plus. I'm experimenting today so I'm sitting at my desk with ONLY primer on for a while to check out the results.  I'll add shadow in about a half hour and check back to let you guys know how the race is going!

Alright ladies...eyeshadow was applied and we are 4 hours in our test.  As far as application is concerned the UDPP allowed for slightly smoother application.  I wouldn't have even noticed the difference if I hadn't been doing this test.  The smooter application gave a bit more blendablility but the Tarte side seemed to appear deeper in color.  The UDPP blends into each other and the Tarte side really takes the color where it is.  Absolutley NO creasing on either lid yet so that's good news for oily lidded gals.  Note:  I used powder and NOT creme shadow for the test as I  know creme will still crease on me by mid-day.  Also...I was going to use my FAB fave Cats Cosmetics Hello Gorgeous palette for the test but I figured I know those will look good with or without primer so instead I broke out my Mark shadows in Bondi Beach and Nomaic to see how they stack up.  I throw these on A LOT for a quick makeup fix and by this time in they day they are usually almost GONE.  Right in place and looking great right now.  I'll report again at the end of my work day which will be a full 8 hours and then let you know what it looks like at the end of the day.  So far...no one's a loser with EITHER of these.  See you later!

This sounds like a really interesting product.  I love the anti-wrinkle properties of it as well.

How much does this product cost?I`m using Urban Decay Primer Potion and I love it but I would like to try other products. However if Tarte`s lifted natural eye primer is more expesive I think that I will continue with my Primer Potion or Shadow Insurance of Too faced.

Final verdict...I checked my eyes before going to bed last night at 10:30 and they were both still going strong.  I used my 10x mag mirror and the Tarte on the left had a little more creasing than the UDPP but it took the 10x to really notice the difference.  My makeup looked as good 12 hours after applying as it usually does just an hour or two in the morning.  Without a primer my shadow would have been LONG gone and I used a cheaper product to test it as well.  Today I've got my Cat on and with very little effort the colors are gorgeous.  I HAVE to say to everyone who doesn't use primer...you don't have to use it all the time but I am TELLING YOU NOW if you do your eyes will look perfect for hours, there is no need for touch up, you use less product because it really takes to the primer and creasing is a bare minimum.  It's WORTH it to stay looking flawless for hours.  UDPP has a slight edge on blending and strong staying power...Tarte is still rockin' and has the natural properties and eco friendly aspect to make it a front runner as well.  You can't go wrong ladies...try it and you'll see the difference.  And you WILL be hooked!  Love to ALL!!!!!!!

What I have a really hard time with is that I'm almost 32 and my upper lids are droopy! Im seeing a difference every year now, too! I get this from my mom. she is 57 and has had 2 upper eye lid surgeries already. (and frankly they still dont look very tight, which scares me) My left eye lid is droopier than my right too, which makes all that liquid cat eye liner I love so much that much harder to apply and look even. Can this product, or ANY product make a real difference for me with my not-so-tight eye lids????

I received this from Meg. I really like it. It's super light weight and goes on easily. It's pretty light, which I wasn't too sure about at first, but you can't tell how light it is whenever you put color over it. I used it for Halloween and did a pretty kick ass red/orange smokey eye. It definitely made the color pop and it kept it bright and in place for hours. I'm not sure about the whole "firmatol" claims, but I do like this as a primer in general.

Urban Decay Potion was the deal then it got to be just TOO adhesive.  Maybe it was just my bottle but it was quite spacle-like.  I'm  currently using Mac paint pots and I am having perfect eyes for all of my waking hours.  BUT now you introduce me to a product to lift...wow.  Maybe I could use this under the mac paint pots.  Hey, I'll give it a go.  Whatever works!  Thanks for the review.

Oooh I'm always on the lookout for a good eyeshadow primer! Every one I've tried creases on me within hours- including TFSI and UDPP. Being natural is a huge plus!

This is so going on my Christmas list.
