12 Best Makeup Primers

Skip it!
I checked recently and I don't think Urban Decay even makes this primer anymore...but I'm going to review it anyway because it looks like you can still get it from Amazon. I used this several times with several different lip products, trying to give it the best chance to impress me...but it just didn't. The tube is slim which I like for ease of keeping on hand for reapplication, and the product ha...read mores a slight scent of vanilla which I found pleasant. Those are almost the only compliments I can give this product. It is kind of hard and I felt like I had to run the stick over my lips 3 or 4 times to even feel like any product was going on. It felt soft enough, similar to a half-decent balm, but it did nothing for any lipstick. It doesn't make any lip product last longer, nor did it increase the color payoff. Aren't those the things you expect from a primer? It certainly didn't make my lipstick experience any worse, aside from adding a step, but it didn't make it better either. Definitely not impressed, but that makes me curious about the NEW lip primer Urban Decay has out. I wonder if it's any better? I'll be hesitant to try it, to be honest.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Very Poor. DO NOT BUY
This lip primer is so hard and waxy, it doesn't pay off much when you stroke your lip with it. You press very hard, get the product on, but then it dilutes your lipstick color so that pigment payoff is not as rich. Nowadays, almost all lipsticks are well pigmented and durable, that you're better off using this primer.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Not good enough
Cosmetics companies keep rolling out supposedly long-lasting lipsticks and glosses when what we've needed all along is a lip primer. Too bad this one is it. It's formula feels thick and waxy on your lips, and the product in the tube gets grainier with each use. Forgivable sins if it works, but it doesn't. Lipstick stayed in the center of my bottom lip longer than usual, but the product along the e...read moredges of my lips was quickly worn away. Hang on to your money until something better comes along.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
