The Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original is your secret weapon for long-lasting, vibrant eye makeup. Its performance shines through its ability to create a 'gripping' surface for eyeshadow pigments while also smoothing the skin for an even application.
Clean Lids First: Start with clean, dry eyelids. Ensure no residual oils or creams are present, as this can affect adhesion.
Apply a Small Dot: Squeeze out a tiny dot of primer onto your fingertip. A little goes a very long way – about half a pea-sized amount for both eyelids is often sufficient.
Blend Evenly: Gently pat and blend the primer across your entire eyelid, from lash line to brow bone. Ensure an even, thin layer. You can use your fingertip or a flat eyeshadow brush.
Allow to Set: Let the primer set for approximately 30-60 seconds before applying your eyeshadow. This allows it to create the optimal base.
Apply Eyeshadow: Proceed with your desired eyeshadow application. You'll notice colors appear more intense and blend more smoothly.
Layering: For extra oily lids or extremely long wear, a second very thin layer can be applied after the first has dried.
Under-Eye Use: Some users apply a tiny amount under the lower lash line to prevent eyeliner or concealer creasing, but use sparingly.
Beyond Eyeshadow: This primer can also improve the longevity of eyeliner and even brow products when applied sparingly underneath.
Your Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion comes ready to use. Simply twist off the cap and gently squeeze the tube to dispense the product. The doe-foot applicator can be used to dab the product directly onto the eyelid, then blended with a fingertip or brush.
Eyeshadows: This primer is compatible with virtually all types of eyeshadows, including powders, creams, and even pigments. It enhances both matte and shimmery finishes.
Skin Types: While effective for most skin types, those with extremely oily eyelids may find it beneficial to lightly powder their lids after the primer has set but before eyeshadow application, or explore the 'Eden' variant for an even drier base. For dry eyelids, ensure your skin is hydrated but not oily before application.
Other Eye Products: Works well with liquid, gel, and pencil eyeliners. It is designed to be worn under eyeshadow and eyeliner.
Storage: Store the primer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures can affect the product's consistency.
Sealing: Always ensure the cap is tightly twisted back on after each use. Exposure to air can cause the product to dry out and reduce its effectiveness.
Shelf Life: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M for 6 months). Dispose of the product after this period to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
