Long time no blog! J I’ve been busy with my new work. Lo and behold, I got this primer from my mail a few weeks ago. I ordered it from a Korea based Filipina selling Korean stuffs. It was discounted for about 30%! Woot!
I don’t usually wear eye shadow since I’m a lipstick/ blush girl. I like to wear super bright lippies and wear it with a subtle blush or sometimes my shocking NARS Exhibit A blush. :D but then, I’ve been wanting use my eye shadow palettes since they are already piled up. I only have drugstore brands for my eye shadow palettes so I really think that I definitely need a primer. I want to buy Artdeco eye primer but since I’m not yet a pro I could use something like this first and practice my way! Now enough of the blabbing! :D time for the review!!
What the company says about their product
I’m so excited to use this! So, the other week I applied it first in a patting motion on my eyelids let it dry for a while. I didn’t use any base eye shadow and a translucent powder over my eye shadow anymore so I could really see how long it would stay on my lids. It actually stays on my lids for about 8 hours with minimal creasing. :)

This actually made my eye shadow looked more intense and vibrant. Look at this swatch on my inner forearm. :) See how lively and strong that color is?
This is my perfect match for my drugstore eye shadow. Though there are times that I want my eye shadow to be just sheer as it is I only applied this primer with a very a little amount, thru this way I won’t get a very intense outcome but it would only avoid creasing and will make my eye shadow stay put.
Since I don’t wear eye shadow every day, I use this to lengthen the staying power of my eye liner San San Eyeliner Pen. I love that it didn’t in any way affect the application or look of my eyeliner, still the same color. Though my San San eyeliner is water resistant it sometimes smears on, through this primer I have no worries even though I walked under the rain.
I tried applying it on my brows too before applying my In2it brow powder and it did last longer!
My eye makeup doesn't come off until I have to take it off. :) I have no problems in removing this product since I also use my Etude House Lip & Eye Makeup remover. They work well together! :)
The packaging is a con!! :( similar to the old UDPP bottle.
Here is the ingredient list for girls with sensitive eyes
What I Like About It
· Survives my super oily eyelids
· Makes my sheer eye shadow more intense and vibrant
· Makes my eye makeup lasts longer (eyeliner and brow powder)
· Can be used as a primer for brow powders too
· Spreads easily and doesn’t create dry patches
· Not sticky and dries fast
· Lesser fallout for my powdery eye shadows
· I only use a tiny amount and I’m all set!
· Transparent packaging allowing you to check how much product is left
· No skin or eye irritation experienced
· Locally available and affordable at Php298
What I Don’t Like About It
· The bottle is like the old UDPP which will be hard to use once it is almost empty
Final Thought
Not only that it allows me to apply my eye shadow makeup more beautiful it helps my makeup stay as it is all day. It survives that heat, sweat and humidity that I always encounter on my way to work. This is a budge proof eye shadow. La la la, this is love.
