e.l.f. Eyelid Primer Review

I've been a long time user of Too Faced's eyeshadow insurance, and it's been fine. I honestly haven't noticed anything super spectacular about it, I feel like it works just as well as when I use a concealer as a base.

Since I have no kind of brand loyalty, I'm always up for trying anything as long as I can afford it. That's probably why I seem to be on some kind of e.l.f. kick lately. I keep finding things I want to try from them and they're all so cheap that I can't help but buy them.

The e.l.f. Eyelid Primer retails for $1 at Target, Kmart or the e.l.f. website. Yes, ONE DOLLAR.

I honestly expected absolutely nothing from a $1 primer, but I decided to quit being a snob and just try it.

best.decision.ever.

This stuff is amazing. Not just amazing for the price [which I've always thought is a polite way of saying a product sucks but it's too cheap to complain about], this is amazing in general. Amazing in the sense that it really works.

The primer comes in a tube and looks pretty much like a concealer.

 On to the before and afters. That's what everyone wants to see anyway.

These were taken before I left for work in the morning. How crooked is that liner?! I'm so ashamed.

 

These were taken when I finally got home after working and running errands and I actually think I may have taken a nap at one point. **They look brighter because I had to use flash since it was nighttime.

Clearly, nothing moved an inch. The liner is still strong, the eyeshadow didn't crease one bit, and everything seems to be in place.

I've read other reviews that aren't as glowing as mine and I think it could have something to do with my skin type. I have the definition of normal skin. No excessive oiliness, no excessive dryness, just regular skin. The area around my nose gets a bit oily sometimes, but that's about it. I think maybe the primer works so great for me because I don't have oily eyelids and it helps everything stick better.

I've also read that e.l.f.'s Mineral Eyeshadow Primer and their Studio Primer and Liner Sealer are much better than this one. I haven't seen either at my local Target, so I can't say, but if you find that this particular one doesn't work, you might as well try the other two. The price is so low that if they don't work, it's only a couple of bucks.
