I love eyeshadow. It's sort of an obsession. But if I'm going to be gone for a full day, I always need to make sure I have time every few hours to check and fix my eyeshadow, because I have a big problem with creasing. I've been looking at eyeshadow primers for awhile but couldn't commit to buying one. So for my birthday last month, my best friend gave me three different kinds to figure out which works best for me.

This is the first one I tried and I was immediately hooked. Let me talk you through my eye makeup process and then we can discuss this product specifically.

I began with a small dab of Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer in Sin. Just a small amount was enough to spread across both eyelids and produce a nice shimmer.

Next I took L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Amber Rush and applied to the whole lid. Ulta's Firework eyeshadow was my crease. I applied some nondescript white shadow under my brow and was finished with the lid.

As always, I used my Too Faced Foil Liner in Black Beauty to line the eyes and finished up with my all-time favorite, Maybelline Colossal Volum' Mascara in Classic Black.

That was finished at about 6am before I left for school. The pictures in this post were taken at 3:30pm when I returned home. That's right, 9 1/2 hours with no creasing, no smudging, no mess!

I could not be more thrilled with this product. I really enjoy the shimmery color it gives alone and plan to use the product solo to see if it stays as well without the help of eyeshadow.

Don't worry, I'll let you know what I think of the other two as soon as I can give up this one long enough to take pictures in the others :)

Yes, I hate it when I get that "greasy crease" look. Where the shadow gathers for a party in the crease of your eyelid. Great review Report Spam Posted by luv2kreate at 7:01 PM on 02/08/12

I love urban decay eyeshadows! The L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow are supposed to be dupes for the Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill eyeshadow...I just picked up a few of these and have been loving them. Thanks for the review! Report Spam Posted by her_arsenic_kiss at 11:27 PM on 02/08/12
