Smashbox PHOTO FINISH HYDRATING UNDER EYE PRIMER

I have a hard time using concealer under my eyes, by mid day it is either cakey, gone or separated. So I asked on a forum I am on what to use to stop this. I received a lot of answers from professional makeup artist and this seemed to be the favorite of many of them.

I bought it from the Smashbox site and have been using it for about a month or more. I have to say it works!!! I have used it with the concealer we carry on line  at Fusion of Color Cosmetics, have used it with OCC Concealer, Smashbox Concealer, Kett Creams, Yaby Concealer, Kryolan Dermacolor  to name a few. All of them work equally as well with this primer under neath. My concealer stays put all day doesn't look dry.  I have to admit this is a winner product.  The texture is very light and and has a thin consistency. Goes on smoothly and feels great! It is very moisturizing without feeling greasy or heavy. I pat it on with my fingers, let it soak in for about 10 min before I add concealer. then set it with our Impeccable Finishing Powder.    The price is 29.00 for the tube and will last for a long time.

Inglot Eye Makeup Base

Waterless, Paraben Free  0.19 oz  $10.00
Eye Makeup Base
Since I was getting the Under Makeup Base, I thought I would try the Eye makeup Base against Urban Decay Primer Potion. Well it is different! When I opened the jar, it is not white like some and is very creamy. I thought hmmmmm this isn't going to work, but I will give it a shot. So I applied it to my eye with a dry beauty blender sponge, using the tip. You need very very little, it is creamy and does spread nicely. It does not cover like UDPP (I use that one in the color Eden) this one basically has no color when on the eye. It is sheer when on the eye.  So my next step is I always take some Finishing Powder and dust my eye, before applying shadow.  I applied my shadow then went on very smoothly, did the color grab like with UDPP no! but they did go on very nice. After my base color I did use a brighter color to see the staying power of this base. Was the color vibrant like with UDPP no, but you did get the true color of the shadow. Then added my liner color. So after 9-10 hours of being on my eyes yes the color was still there, still looked good after all that time. Faded a bit not much, but you have to expect wear with all primer and shadows. It did crease a bit, that is what I was afraid of with it being so creamy. Did it crease a lot like some I have used,  No, but it did crease a bit. The shadows did stay on, the colors were still there after  all that time.  Would I give up my UDPP for this no, it is a good product yes it is, better than most I have tried. Will test it out some more to give it a better review.
