Can you recommend an eyeshadow primer?

I'm currently using up Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion which I don't really like. It's too thick and pale. I've used their anti-ageing one before and that was better but now I'm coming to the end of my tube of Primer Potion I'm on the lookout for something better.

Really Destiny? I have oily eyelids. I'll give it a try, thanks.

Yep, it’s been recommended as a primer on here before as it has v similar ingredients in it to the Smashbox primer. I didn’t get on with it as a facial primer as it made my skin too matt but for eyelids it’s great!

I second the Avon one.

I use a MAC one but it’s in a black tube. So impressed

@Destinysdaughter can you explain exactly how you use it? I put it on at 7 and my eyeshadow and eyeliner has gone already. Do you put eyeshadow on straight away, or wait a few minutes? It made my eyes water a bit too, which didn't help. Confused

I put foundation on my eyelids first then smooth the gel on my eyelids and also under them ( I used to muse powder which also works ). I wait a few minutes then put eyeshadow on. Works well for me but we’re all different!
