Why it's great: For ladies suffering from oily skin, reviewers say this primer (that works for face and eyes) not only locks in shadow, but even helps reduce grease. "This is the best primer I have ever used," says one reader. "I have oily skin and I only use a pea size on my whole face. It helps with oil control and my makeup, including eye shadow, stays on so much longer."
Readers love the smooth application and think "the stay[ing] power is amazing."
"I use it on myself everyday and for all my professional applications, especially for print and TV work," says a reader who says she works as a makeup artist. "I love it because it doesn't have any color in it. It's completely clear and has a perfect, solid consistency."

Have to disagree with the "Maybelline New York Ultra-Liner." The old brush and formula were better, but it works very well, especially for the price.

I have recently just heard of eye primers. I have always used foundation on my eyelids and it seems to work just fine for me.

I just started wearing eyeshadow primers, and this definitely helps me pick one. I have the oiliest eyelids. My eye makeup is gone is 2 hours. Think I'll try the Urban Decay!

it's a crime not to prime

Primers really help keep my make-up stay on longer than on its own.

I disagree w/the opinion that primers are a waste unless one has oily eyelids. I have extremely dry skin and I have to use a primer for there to be no creases, no crepeyness, & for shadows to have staying power.

I might have to invest in one of these.
