Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

I was so shocked that Urban Decay Primer Potion had not already been reviewed on here. It has an almost cult status amongst us make up addicts and is widely hailed all around as THE primer. It is really the only option, always considered the best and one of those rare products that just about everyone seems to agree upon and rave about. As the name might suggest, UDPP is a primer for the eyes. This should be applied under any eye make up you are planning to wear and will make sure it doesn't crease and it stays firmly put, exactly as it was when you applied it all night. Let's face it girls, the eyes are most peoples favourite feature, both on themselves and ...  Read the complete review

Recently I purchased the Urban Decay Preen Eyeshadow Set, which consisted of 6 eyeshadows (in lovely colours), black eye liner and... *DRUM ROLL* ... their Eyeshadow Primer Potion. To be honest, I bought the compact purely for the lovely eyeshadow colours, and didn't think I'd ever use the primer, and I'm not fan of UD pencil eyeliners either. Previously, the only primer I have ever tried was Benefit's F Y Eye, and I had always found that pretty useless to be honest. Application of the primer is different to how I had imagined. It is a pale, thin liquid, which totally disappears on the eyelid. The applicator is plastic with a sponge tip, like a ...  Read the complete review

I recently got a miniature version of the Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) in an eyeshadow set from the same brand. Urban Decay is an American brand which is renowned for its quirkiness and bright colours. After reading about UDPP and the reviews surrounding it, I finally gave in and bought an entire palette! The UDPP comes in such cute packaging and it defiantly warrants the name 'potion'. The curvy light purple bottle is so sweet and looks lovely in your makeup bag. The applicator is similar to that of a lip gloss or liquid concealer. I can see that getting the last bits out of the bottle due to the odd shape! But it looks pretty! The larger full ...  Read the complete review

I received a tiny trial-size bottle of this Eyeshadow Primer Potion with the eyeshadow palette I bought from Urban Decay at Boots. I was sceptical at first, but was really impressed with the product after trying it, so I splashed out on the larger bottle. The bottle is a lovely curved shape, rather like a genie's lamp, and a pretty purple and silver colour. It looks very sophisticated in your makeup bag! This larger bottle is 10ml and costs £11.00, but I got it in a 3 for 2 offer on makeup at Boots. The potion applicator reminds me of a concealer applicator, and the liquid's practically the same colour as a concealer. It is really easy to apply on ...  Read the complete review

For anyone like me, who thinks £10 on a primer is a waste of money - this is the product that will prove you wrong! I intially got a tester bottle of Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion with an eyeshadow palette, which at £20 was an investment of roughly a year and a half of Boots points, a real luxury. Urban Decay's eyeshadow's are famously longlasting and vibrant, but this primer takes this claim to a whole other level. A single swipe, spread evenly over the eyelid dries within 30 seconds and becomes a staple step in one's makeup routine. On it's own, it makes eyelids matte and even, veins covered easily by a small dab of primer. Once dry, any ...  Read the complete review
