FAQs

How much primer should I use?

A tiny, pin-sized dot of primer is typically sufficient for one eyelid. A little goes a long way to create an effective base.

Can I wear this primer on its own without eyeshadow?

Yes, the nude shade can help to even out eyelid tone and provide a subtle, natural look on its own, though its primary function is to enhance eyeshadow.

Is this primer suitable for sensitive eyes?

While generally well-tolerated, individuals with sensitive eyes should perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

How do I remove the primer and eyeshadow?

Use an oil-based makeup remover, micellar water, or a gentle eye makeup cleanser to effectively dissolve and remove both the primer and your eyeshadow.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Typically, once opened, the product has a shelf life of 6 to 12 months, indicated by a 'PAO' (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging. Unopened, it can last longer, usually 2-3 years.

Does the travel size offer the same performance as the full-size product?

Yes, the travel size contains the exact same award-winning formula as the full-size Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, ensuring identical performance and benefits.

Will this primer work with shimmer and glitter eyeshadows?

Absolutely. The primer's tacky base helps glitter and shimmer shadows adhere better, reducing fallout and intensifying their sparkle.

Does it dry matte or dewy?

It dries to a translucent, slightly tacky matte finish, which is ideal for gripping eyeshadow pigments and preventing shine, especially on oily lids.

Troubleshooting

Eyeshadow is still creasing or fading quickly.

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer of primer to clean, dry eyelids. Using too much product can sometimes lead to creasing. Allow the primer to set for 30-60 seconds before applying eyeshadow. Also, check the expiry date of your eyeshadows, as old products can perform poorly.

Primer feels sticky or too thick on the eyelids.

You might be using too much product. A very small, pea-sized amount is often enough for both eyelids. Try blending it out more thoroughly with a finger or brush until it feels tacky, not wet or sticky. Ensure your skin is completely dry before application.

Eyeshadow looks patchy or doesn't blend well over the primer.

Make sure the primer has fully set before applying eyeshadow. If applied too soon, the eyeshadow can stick unevenly. Also, try using a slightly denser brush for initial color application to build intensity, then blend with a softer brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application Steps

  1. Prep: Ensure your eyelids are clean and dry. Gently pat any excess oil if necessary.
  2. Apply: Squeeze a tiny amount of `Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion` onto your fingertip or a clean brush. A small dot is usually sufficient for both eyelids.
  3. Blend: Gently pat and blend a thin, even layer across your entire eyelid, from lash line to brow bone. Allow it to set for a few seconds (around 30-60 seconds) until it feels slightly tacky but not wet.
  4. Makeup: Proceed with your eyeshadow application as usual.

Compatibility

This primer is compatible with virtually all types of powder and cream eyeshadows. Its nude base ensures it won't alter the color of your chosen shadows.

Care and Storage

  • Store the tube upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain product integrity.
  • Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent drying out.
  • Avoid contaminating the applicator tip by not touching it directly to your eyelid. Squeeze product onto a clean surface or fingertip instead.
