The Urban Decay Primer Potion is perhaps the best eye primer I’ve tried. It’s right above the NARS Pro-Prime Smudgeproof Base (which I can’t get to work on my lids, strangely), the Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer, Benefit’s Lemon Aid (which is great upon application but creases as well), and tons of other eye bases like cream shadows and such. This is just the best, basic one for me.
I do like the MAC Paint Pots also, but the ones I have are shimmery, and if I want a neutral base, my go-to is the UDPP. A great thing about this is also its applicator. No doe-foot unsanitariness here!
I bought the PP twin pack in Original and Sin from a Friends and Family Sale eons ago, and I realized I haven’t spoken about these wonders yet.
The original looks like an opaque pinky cream here, but it blends out into an invisible base. Sin is a beautiful champagne color with a finish that reminds me of LUSH’s Sophisticated.
Here, I am wearing UDPP in Sin all over the mobile lid, and I applied MAC’s Mystery on the crease.
I’m inclined to say that I prefer the original formula, just because of its useability. While Sin is neutral enough, it still has the factor of a shimmer that will alter the original color of the shadow in one way or another. Both are beautiful to have, but if I have to choose one, I’d definitely go with the original Primer Potion.
Urban Decay is cruelty-free, but is owned by L’Oreal, which tests on animals.

UDPP is also the best primer for me! They say the Too Faced shadow insurance is really good too but I haven’t tried it because I’m pretty happy with this.
Same here – still using my Urban Decay. But it takes ages to go through a tube though. I also want to try the one from Too Faced..
I heard that was good as well! 🙂 I will probably try it eventually, but I’m pretty much set with the UDPP.
Yup, I heard that as well, but like you, I’m pretty happy with this 😀
I love UDPP but I’ve discovered an inexpensive substitute… Mineral Eye Primer from ELF! It’s hard to justify not buying it 🙂
Does it really work as well as UD?
YES!!!
Oh, that one didn’t work out for me!
TCFS is now in Manila! What products do you recommend?
Hello, you can use the search box for future queries, but I’ve only really used the Dinoplatz illuminator and I really like it.
UDPP doesn’t really work for me
I still end up with creasing. I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance religiously though. I use such a tiny bit of TFSI that the tube seems giant and lasts forever. Although the cheap ELF one works for me too. I can’t go without eye primer anymore.
Wow, really? I’ve never tried TFSI, but I hate the elf one!
Getting really curious about this ELF mineral eye primer 😮 I just go with UDPP original, but I have read from Liz over at Project Vanity that the Art Deco Eyeshadow Base is quite the bees knees 😛
The ELF primer never worked on me, so I guess it depends. LOL I hated it, tbh. I want to try the Art Deco! But after I use up the ones I have now 😀
Oooh, I want to try this primer now. And besides, I’ve heard such good things about it.
I haven’t tried a ton, but this one is my fave so far!
