Any reviews about the eye shadow primer?
I can't decide whether to get it.

it works well to create a smooth nude canvas for your eyeshadow and help it last throughout the day. you don't need a lot, generally just pat your finger on the surface and pat it to your eyelid and smooth.

In addition to a shadow primer, t's also a great primer for spots you want to cover with foundation. I put a small "touch" over the accursed spot, then when I brush on my foundation (or zinc or Date Bait, etc.) it will cling to that spot. Use it VERY sparingly and tap...don't rub!

This is the best purchase I've made from the SN line...and I love all of SN products. This primer is a great investment and it really makes a great difference in the look of your eye makeup. It gives Karens little sparkles of happiness something to cling on to and last throughout the day. I also pat a little under my eye to neutralize discolorations before going over with my concealer. It brightens the eye area tremendously. A definite must have in my book.

I use it under eyes and dark spots, very lightly tapped, then sleep in a jar extra light. I do this daily, it gives a very smooth look as well as holding on to the concealer all day. I have never really used it for shadow primer on eyes.

I have tried everything to get this to have as much mileage as UDPP for me, and it just doesn't work. I had to go back to one of the few brand-name products I actually use- there's a short list.
If Karen ever had a mascara with a silicone brush, I'd probably stop buying mascara at the drug store, too.

I am really enjoying the eye shadow primer. It goes on easily (it's not drying and doesn't tug on your lid) and a little does go a long way - you just need a little smidge of it, blended out well. I also like that it goes on a bit lighter than my natural skin colour - so it's a perfect base for the lighter lid colours, which is what I usually wear. It also "grabs" hold of pressed and loose powder eyeshadows very well.
Thanks for the tips on using this on on spots and under the eyes - I will try that out!
