I tried it yesterday and it worked very well! (And I consider myself to be in the "oily eyelids" category.) It really did bring the shimmer out of the Oh Baby I was wearing, and my shadow didn't crease in the ten hours or so I was wearing it. I have been using the primer sold on the SN site and I usually experience creasing at some point. (Haven't specifically clocked it, but definitely in less than ten hours.) It also helped me easily wet-line. I definitely give it "two thumbs up"!

I've been using UDPP (the primer sold on SN didn't work for me, creased very soon), but switched to MAC's Painterly recently, with similar, pretty decent results, although the colors weren't that popping any more.

I did a side by side with Painterly and the new gumball, and oh yeah, the latter is running circles around the MAC product. The colors are more vibrant, the finish is not lost after applying, and the staying power is the same if not more. I'd definitely purchase this in full size. I can't comment on the humidity as I've been hiding out inside since the constant rain started last week, but it works as well or better than the leading commercial stuff for my oily lids.

I think it is working as well as the too faced primer I have been using. I would rather buy this from Karen. It is not the right time of the year here to tell how it will do in the humidity. I think it is only about 70% humidity right now which seems very dry to my skin. I would have to wait for spring to get the high humidity. It was 87% the other day though.

I used this today and I really liked it. My eye shadow did not crease at all. at all! Nothing has ever worked for me before, NOTHING.
My only complaint is that there was no color to it, and my eyelids are very red, so I had to pack on more shadow to cover it up. However! Even with more shadow, still no creasing. It's positively miraculous.
awesome stuff, thanks so much for making this!

I love this primer! It is the best one I have tried. I bought the non SN brand from SN website but it didn't work for me. I have been using SN's clear liner sealer and although it works better than the other, it still didn't make the light eyeshadows look the way they should. It darkens them a bit. But this new primer is awesome! It lasts all day and works really well with all of the colors even the hard light ones like Fairy Dust (one of my faves!) It brings out all of the sparkle! Please let us buy a bigger supply of this... :) How long do you think the gumball will last? :lol:

I used it to wet line a black shadow today since the black always seems to get messy under my eye after awhile. So far it seems to be staying put. I do hope we can get some more when the gumball runs out.

Oh yes, a "squeeze" packaging would be good (tube or dropper bottle is fine, or any other suggestions). Don't like the ones with doefoot wands as I dislike the idea of having the wand touch my skin and inserting it back into the rest of the mixture.
