Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) in SIN!
Literally the ONLY product I've ever used that keeps my e/s on. Without it it creases within ten minutes. I hadn't worn eyeshadow in years for that very reason. With it my e/s not only doesn't crease, but stays vibrant-- so much more vibrant than on it's own-- ALL DAY. I've forgotten to remove my eye mu before bed before (awful I know!), and I've woken up the next morning with it still looking perfect. Absolutely my HG eye product!EDIT: One thing I must mention though.. let it sit for two minutes before applying e/s! That gives it a chance to absorb and dry, so that the e/s will adhere to it better and last longer with less chance of creasing. I did a comparison test, and after 4 hours the eye that I waited 2 minutes between the UDPP and my e/s was still perfect, while the one that I didn't wait had faded a little bit and had the tiniest amount of creasing.EDIT 2: After the last few times of using Sin, I noticed that my e/s was creasing within a short amount of time. I'm going to do some testing with it and try to figure out if there's any way to eliminate that, or if my lids are maybe just too oily for it.
I need to try this stuff!!!!
This is a great product. I don't know how I lived without eyeshadow primer for so long! I have really really oily eyelids but this keeps my eyeshadow in place, and looking good all day.My only gripe is the container. While it is supercute, you cannot get even half of the product out because it's stuck in the curves. That's why I buy TooFaced Shadow Insurance instead. It's about the same price, works just as well (I actually did a 1 primer per eyelid test for a day, and they held up almost exactly the same), but you can squeeze out every little bit.Colie079--eyeshadow primer is one of my staples in my makeup bag! Definitely try it out :) Although $17 seems like quite a bit for a little tube of TF Shadow Insurance, it lasts a long time, since you need less than half a pea sized amount for both eyes!

Colie-- yes you do! :Dbluedevilkitty-- I agree on the packaging, it's a PITA. I'll probably try the TFSI when my UDPP starts to run low (and I mean after I cut it, not just when it 'appears' to be empty). I like wand applicators for most things, but it's also more sanitary to get the squeeze bottle when dealing with eyes.
This just never worked for me!
This is totally my HG! Of course I agree with everyone on the packaging, I haven't had to cut mine open yet but I'm prepared to when the time comes.
I need to try it everybody is saying so much good things about it ! I never used a primer before and can't wait to find THE one =)

I love this too. I buy TFSI just because I'm too lazy to cut the package. Shadow primer is a necessity. It makes everything last longer and look a lot brighter!
I love UDPP, it works so much better then TFSI on me. And it makes the eyeshadow colors more vibrant. Good pick!
Updating this.. not just UDPP, but UDPP in SIN!! Gorgeous glam color, I love wearing it with pearly e/s to make the pearl even more dramatic and glamorous, or by itself with a liner for a really quick, simple, chic look. It's great that you don't have to worry about an extra highlighting step.. it does that for you, and brightens up the eye area. The new angled wand brings up a TON of product, so in order to minimize waste I just wipe my finger along the stem of the wand instead of using the actual applicator.. there's more than enough on that to cover both eyes.
I'm actually just starting to use this! MM sent it in the mail to me<3 :D
Ok, I need to update this yet again.. I'm not sure why, but the past couple of times I've worn Sin (a few were during the summer), my e/s has creased pretty badly within a few hours. I don't know if it's because my eye lids are producing more oil than usual or what, but Sin doesn't seem to do as good of a job as the regular UDPP. And as of very recently, the regular UDPP has been leaving me creased as well. It could be that it's too old (bought it in August of 2008), I'm not sure. I did just get two small bottles of it so I can compare them against my old bottle. It doesn't have an expiration date, doesn't smell any different, and I haven't even used up half of it yet so I'd hate to throw it out.
I have never used this product but keep on hearing good things about it ;)
