These are some of the most gorgeous - but definitely the most fool-proof - colors I've had! Without UD's Primer Potion, they are still the most graceful shadows at the end of the night, with barely noticeable creasing and no smearing. Pair it with the UDPP, and it's a KILLER combination! I love using "Baked" (gold) with a hint of "Smog" (brown) on the top and bottom for a bright but sultry golden-eyed look, and it's no wonder "Midnight Cowboy" (pale pink shimmer) is so popular. My favorites, though, are "Mayhem" (bright purple) and "Absinthe" (bright green). I even get plenty of compliments when I pair "Absinthe" with "Protest" (dark green)! I only wish the blues, "Goddess" and "Shattered" were stronger pigments.

How often can you say that something does what it's supposed to do? Rarely. But this is one of those gems: the UDPP creates the perfect base for shadows, smoothing out the complexion of the lids, allowing for maximum color and even maximum wear. I can do my makeup before class in the morning, and by 2 a.m. the NEXT morning - as I'm usually still awake by then - the shadow is just as strong as ever! Even the XL bottle is tiny, but a little does go a long way, and the UDPP is certainly worth the price!
