The e.l.f. Essential Eyelid Primer is a definite must-try and must-buy. It's only US$1 (or S$3-S$6 depending on which website/location you buy this from in Singapore) and it works strangely well for its extremely affordable price. I have used the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in 7501 Sheer before and it was one of the better eyelid primers that I have ever used. I tried so many other eyelid primers (Canmake, Too Faced, Kate, etc.) and they all lost the match to my excessively oily eyelids. This e.l.f. one did not perform as well as Urban Decay's or Lorac's but it was able to combat my oily eyelids for more than 8 hours. Very impressive indeed!
Since I wear a lot of neutral eyeshadow shades, I decided to purchase the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in 7502 Champagne to see if it will intensify the eyeshadows' pigmentation and if it does as well as the one in 7501 Sheer.
Packaging: Come on, it's US$1, let's not nitpick on the packaging. The essentials are there and so all's well.
Product brush/wand: The classic doe foot applicator is very much welcomed. I don't like doe foot applicators for lip products but I adore it for eye products - makes application idiot-proof.
Color: e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in 7502 Champagne is a nude colour primer with a slight peachy undertone, and it has both fine and slightly chunkier silver glitters.
Application: Applying the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer is a no-brainer. Just use the doe foot applicator to swipe some product on your eyelids and then use your ring fingers to blend it out. The primer blends smoothly into the skin and it is absorbed quickly so you don't experience that eeky sticky sensation before applying your eyeshadows. I will suggest that you apply this primer slightly beyond the crease. The glitters can be a little too much if you apply it to the entire eyelid. However, if you like that look, then you do you, no shame in that!
Eyeshadow's best friend? The e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in 7502 Champagne is all neutral eyeshadows' best friend. Shades that normally don't really show up as gorgeously as they were in the pan showed up beautifully and the colours were intensified. The primer will work the best for metallic neutral shades. The metallic factor is multiplied and you look like you put in a lot of effort in your eye makeup.
Longevity: For those with extremely oily eyelids, the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in 7502 Champagne will surprise you with its ability to keep that eye look in place for a good 7-8 hours!
Will I buy it again? Yes. It's puzzling how such an affordable product can do so much.
Anyone else on the e.l.f. Eyelid Primer bandwagon? What are your thoughts on it?
Have a great day ahead! :)
