Q: I am about to purchase a base for eye shadow. But I am torn between Benefit's "lemonaid" and Urban Decay's "primer potion". As you all know that both of them are a bit pricy. I dont want to purchase them and then regret in the end. I dont have an oily skin and I dont like greasy stuff either. Can anyone please give me suggestions or reviews on both items? Many Thanks ;)
A: Firsr of all, lemonaid is not a primer at all! It is a colour correcting base you wear when you're not wearing any eye shadow. It just evens your eye lid colour, so covers any viens and redness. If you're looking for a Benefit primer, then you need to look at F.Y.Eye. I've been using it for years, have converted all my family & friends into users and really wouldn't leave the house without applying it. Shadows stay put all day and not one single crease - no matter if you're using creams, powders, whatever. I've tried UD's Primer Potion & its good too, but the packaging really annoys me as there's basically 50% of the product you can never get at becuse of the shape of the container. So for the price - not worth it IMO. F.Y.Eye on the other hand lasts me a good 8-10 months & thats with every day application.
