Beauty Basics: Eye Shadow Primers

September 4, 2009 / Noire Tropical Beauty / 5 Comments

Hi ladies!

So a lot of people always ask me how come my eye shadows stay on all day (and all night) long, without budging?? The short answer? Skills!!! Nah, just kidding!

The secret weapon that makeup artists and makeup mavens use is the eye shadow primer. Primers come in different forms and you kinda have to experiment to see which one suits you best. They basically act as a barrier between you eyelid and your shadows. They provide a smooth surface for shadows to stick to and prevents the natural oils from the lid from smudging your handiwork. They last all day through work, sweaty gym workouts or just walking around in the heat, humidity or the cold. And they also help keep colours true and make them pop!

Factors to consider when looking for a primer include 1) Skin type: oily or dry, 2) ease of application, 3) price range. Listed below are some of the most popular primers available and I’ve used them all.

Eye Shadow primers
