REVIEW: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (Original)

Alicia Maude

Since my favourite eye primer, Max Factor Miracle Prep Eyeshadow Primer, has been discontinued, I'm on a quest to find a new favourite. I decided to try out a highly popular one to see how it compares.



PACKAGING:

Plastic tube with a wand, housed in a cardboard box


CLAIMS:

  • Urban Decay found a way to make Eyeshadow Primer Potion even better

  • Packs the powers it’s famous for: 24-hour, crease-free shadow

  • More vibrant color

  • Smoother application.


INGREDIENTS:

Isododecane, Talc, Cyclopentasiloxane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Trihydroxystearin, Polyethylene, Triethylhexanoin, Hydroxystearic/Linolenic/Oleic Polyglycerides, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Dimethicone, PEG-40 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Synthetic Beeswax, Propylene Carbonate, Aqua (Water/Eau). [+/- (May Contain/Peut contenir): Mica, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491/77492/77499 (Iron Oxides), CI 77163 (Bismuth Oxychloride)]


Before I start when I test eyeshadow products I always test one eye with primer and one eye without primer to see if it work. I always apply the eyeshadow on the eye without primer first so I don't cross contaminate.
