Smashbox Photofinish Primer and Urban Decay Primer Potion

Primers, primers, primers -- how did I survive before makeup primer? Smashbox Photofinish foundation primer and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer potion are "must-haves" in my makeup routine. They give your makeup the much needed "staying power" for the entire day.

These are definitely two staple products. I thought primers were really overrated, until I started using them and then realized that these DO make a difference. I often switch back and forth from UDPP and Too Faced's Shadow Insurance. They both work well.

UDPP is a great product, but I hate the packaging--you have to cut it open to really get all of it out, or liquify the product inside. TooFaced Shadow Insurance works just as well, in my opinion, but comes in a squeeze tube, so I buy that instead.Smashbox Photo Finish primer breaks me out because of the silicones. Makeup doesn't usually break me out, but Smashbox photo finish does.

bluedevilkitty - I agree on the UDPP packaging. It definitely could use a little improvement. It's hard to scrape the product out of the tube when you are down to the end. But, I do like the applicator so my fingers don't get so messy.Korres makes a silicone-free primer. I got a sample of it from Sephora and I really liked it. I have a bunch of primers right now, but when I use them all up, I will probably get the Korres one.

Yeah, the packaging blows, but it is a great product. I find that after a prolonged use of it (i.e. EVERY single day) I get kinda itchy eyelids, so I try to use it for the days I'm outside or am wearing darker shadows.
