that it’s worthless.
Well as it happened, this eyelid primer was not your piece of charity. The e.l.f. essential’s eyelid primer is not exactly underpriced for its quality. I think it’s too much to call it a premium primer for the eyelids, and the low price may reflect in certain aspects of the product. But I continue to be surprised by the consistent results I’m getting from it. I admire that it’s not spotty like the rest of them, as evidenced by the way it withstands creasing for a few more hours than my previous primer. Going back to my old primer, it was always a hard guess whether my eye shadows will not crease badly today, while in some days it doesn’t. The elf primer works best in this regard, and for me, that’s the
most important thing about a primer.
For the record, this lasts 8 hours on me on average, even as long as 10 hours. That’s already a long stretch for me – the standard working hours. It’s not resistant to creasing, but it usually follows after that given period. I have oily eye lids, and this keeps my eye shadows in place (despite the emollient texture) for a longer period, before the day’s over, and by then shall my oiliness take over and wreck havoc on my eye makeup. I find the primer is more impervious to my oily lids, but that eventually expires at the end of a long day.
I’ll rate the primer’s modest formula, at this aspect, slightly below the mark, because it’s not very comfortable to wear. It feels slick up there in my eye ...
