Eyelid concealers/ bases/primer

[cabbageroses]

Not sure of the right words but has anyone sued a good eyelid primer?

Recently changed my foundation- Clinique_ but it says avoid eyes. Ihave noticed that using iton my eyelids makes me eyes water slightly. However, my eyelids are quite pink and I need some kind of base before applying eye shadow. My previous foundation was perfect but they have discontinued the shade.

I use B Brown under eye concealer- do they do a lid primer?

I have fairly sensitive skin and use upper end cosmetics as they seem to irritate less.

hi i use mac eye primer, its brill, stays on all day

is this the mac one
I need one as well
have been using mac paintwork or summat but it's a dit dry looking on my lids

this is the one I use but very dry looking , good for very oily skin perhaps

Urban Decay eye primer is like magic. I can wear any eye shadow now and it stays on all day

said-do they sell UD primer in big Boots store?

Yes, they do. In a purple packet. Don't get the gold one, that is shimmery (but still works)

thanks will look out for it, much easier to get to a boots than anywhere that sells mac makeup

I use Clinique Touch Base www.clinique.co.uk/product/1598/5169/Makeup/Eye-Shadows/Touch-Base-for-Eyes/index.tmpl it is pretty cheap and lasts all day. I have converted loads of my friends to it.

thanks I was wondering about the Clinique Touch Base. I will check out MAC too.

yes thats the mac one . it does last ages, i have dry skin and it suits me fine. dont know if its as good on oily skin though.

yy to clinique eye base

I usually use the UD one but like the look of the Clinique. A lot of the reviews on the Boots site say that it is too sparkly though - is it?

I love the UD one - but second not getting the gold one. It works fine but it's a bit too eveningy for day.

Is the Clinique one shimmering do you mean?

There are too shades - canvas and canvas light, canvas light has a slight sheen to it but canvas is very nude and matt.

Thanks Maize.

Oh God - of course I meant two shade, I can spell

Benefit Lemon Aid is fab. It's a pale yellow colour so hides any darkness. It's very matt so eye shadow stays put.

I really like the Laura Mercier eye primer in Wheat, which you can wear on its own for a no-make-up but groomed effect. My new favourite is By Terry's Hyaluronic Eye Primer.

Second the Laura Mercier - totally nude tone.

Laura Mercier here as well.

well I got the Urban Decay one and it looked ok until I looked in the magnifying bit of my mirror
looked all dry and ageing up close
so removed it
failure on my ageing eyelids
will donate to dd I think

Urban Decay for me (although the applicator is v.annoying ...)

Ggirl - you only need a tiny bit and then put your eyeshadow straight on top - shouldn't be able to see it at all then. Or did it make your eyeshadow seem dry?

hmm may have put too much on
I put it all over eyelid to just above crease level
then powder shadow
will have another go tomorrow
