#4 in Best Eye Makeup

What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this primer for its staying power, especially on oily or hooded lids, and note it lasts a long time per tube. The core strength is reliable crease prevention and color vibrancy. The main split: those who prefer a tacky, dry primer grip dislike the silicone formula, while fans appreciate its smooth application and longevity in demanding conditions like all-day filming or humid weather.

"I personally don't like the silicone eye primers. The Urban Decay Priming Potion for example is one of those silicone ones. I like something tacky, I like something a little bit dryer. I prefer the Sigma eye primers."

"This is the Urban Decay Primer Potion. And this stuff lasts me forever. I know sometimes people are like, 'Oh, there's better ones or there's cheaper ones.' And I'm like, 'I know, but like I never empty my tube.' Um, so it's going to be a while for me. Um, but I do need a little bit of primer on my lids. Eyeshadow primer is a must for me."

"I'm applying a little bit of the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion because my lids are actually a little bit oily even not in the summer time. I have to tell you my lids for whatever reason just do not want to let makeup stay on them unless I do some primer and unless I'm using the proper product. So I want to make sure that my lids don't get smudgy and oily throughout the day."

"This is the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer. It's definitely a necessity for a filming day, and I do call them filming days because they are marathon days. I do not film usually one video at a time, sometimes I do, but it makes it easier for me to get up the amount of content that I do if I do more than one in a day."

"This is the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I have tried the original, which is what this is, as well as the tinted one. This is hands down amazing. The tinted one was better when I was younger, however on my mature eyelids it tends to be kind of almost like mattifying and drying, and this one however is amazing. It doesn't have any color after you apply it, so whatever shadow you're applying on top of is going to look perfect. This primer keeps your eye shadow vibrant, crease free, and locked in place for up to 24 hours supposedly. Your eye shadow will not crease. It would also help my eyeliner, mascara, and everything else stay in place. Because if you're like me, hooded and you have greasy eyelids, you know that when you put that eyeliner on you blink a few times or you wipe it a little bit it might come off. This keeps every eyeliner in place even in the most humid or oily conditions."

"I'm using the Urban Decay Primer Potion as a throwback. This is always a good look. This is a classic and I have so much of it that I'm like let me use up what I have now. You just slap that on, just as long as it's covering the lid. You do want it to be a little bit smooth so that the eyeshadow doesn't go on patchy."
