HotandFlashy rates it highly; Skin Obsessed Mary is mixed. Skin Obsessed Mary: "I don't usually do eye primers, I don't generally have a separate one for that, but I bought this five months ago and never used it. I haven't tested this to see if it works or not."

"I don't usually do eye primers, I don't generally have a separate one for that, but I bought this five months ago and never used it. I haven't tested this to see if it works or not. It does give a little bit of brightening too, because when you get to be older you can get discoloration which I do have. I can have a bit of redness or just general blotchiness. So it definitely has a lighter, nice little base to it, and it does have what feels like a tiny bit of tackiness, but tackiness in a good way."

"Chosen because it does not contain bismuth oxychloride, an ingredient common in eyelid primers that tends to make her eyelids sting and burn; this one does not sting or burn. It hides veins, freckles, or redness on the eyelids, and eyeshadow blends over it beautifully."
