Best eyelid primer?

I need something to stop my eyeshadow creasing. I am using a Frontcover shadow base - but find it a bit 'draggy' when applying. Although it works well once on.

Is there a less draggy one out there?

So UD fans. Can I use it without shadow on top to even out skin tone? Like Lemonaid is supposed to be good for?

Hmm, def no creasing for me, I use a dior brush (given to me I hasten to add) to put it on, and it is brill. Lemonaid def worth trying instore, I use it during the day without shadow and then in eve with my loreal 'khaki' shadow and dark grey infallible eyeliner, falsies mascara, and have finally, finally found this to be my ultimate combination that gets comments too. Nice ones :o)

Barbara, the original one does not really have an effect on skin tone. You'd be better off using it with a neutral shadow on top - that will stay put all day, no creasing.

Chic, what is the Falsies mascara? Is it the Maybelline one? I usually buy Lancome, which is great, but can't afford that anymore and am on the hunt for something to replace it. I like a dramatic look but hate the caking and clumping you can get with cheaper brands. Is it easy to apply?

Or have I completely misread you, and you wear false eyelashes and mascara? :)

Barbara - the Eden shade of the urban decay primer potion is yellow toned and evens out skintone like Lemonaid, I often use that without any other shadow on top.

Sin is a kind of champagne coloured primer with more of a shimmer to it which does even out skin tone but looks more sheer than eden.

Just to add, I tried to persevere with lemonaid, but it just kept on settling nicely into my wrinkles.

On your recommendations, while shopping today I bought the Urban decay in Nude... wore it tonight for the first time.

Have to say... I LOVE it! My eye makeup stayed put and I look all sensible and sober (not smudgy and trashy) even at this late hour ... have realised am not drunken slattern, just needed the right product Grin

Thanks a bunchWink
