Primer for eyelids- anything nice?

I find my eyeshadow wears off or changes colour a bit. (Use Bobbi Brown) but I also have to use foundation on my eyelids as they are quite pink/ red compared to my skin. The foundation is a bit 'dewy' so the eyeshadow does melt away after a few hours.

I did use a Clinique eye base /primer in a green pot (like an eye shadow) but it dried in the pot within weeks and was useless.

Any ideas?

I use to use urban decay, but found it dried out to quickly, now using NYX after seeing it was a great dupe, its not... Its even better!

Ive been recommending it to everyone. its NYX HD eye shadow base in the black tube. Best eye primer I've had.

Well, I've had a revelation reading this thread! I'm off out tomorrow to buy eyelid primer. I've just been putting my usual concealer on my eyelids to even them out and lighten them as they are really dark and I have deep set eyes which causes them to look even more shadowed, but sounds like a primer will do a much better job! Thanks everyone Smile

Urban Decay - comes in 4 shades so you'll find one to suit. Eyeshadow does not smudge or crease - it's amazing.

Nickdrakeslovechild what a great recommendation! I'm going to try that one! Although I find NYX a bit hit and miss. Their highlighter is godawful but loved their HD powder and eyeshadow crayons.
