Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Primer - Long-Lasting, Eyeshadow Primer Base for Oily Lids & Crease-Free Wear - Smudge-Proof, Lightweight, Cruelty-Free - 10g

Might be a bit more pricey compared to alternatives but by far the best eye lid primer I've ever used; my eyeshadow and eyeliner lasts from morning to night, no creasing, no smudging, no oily/dry flakey effects. Goes on smooth, not cakey, not heavy, not slimy and not goopy. Will certainly purchase again and make it part of my makeup routine.

I love this primer! It made my eyeshadow stay color-true and crease-free all day and evening until I took it off. It did not irritate my sensitive eyes (I use a lot of Clinique and MAC). It goes on clear which doesn't interfere with any eyeshadow colors- I really like that. A lot of primers come in nude colors that are too dark for me. I will definitely repurchase!

Okay -- I almost threw this eye primer out, but I'm sure glad I didn't! I finally figured out how to make this work for my skin/issues and I keep checking mirrors wondering when my eye makeup will inevitably crease, and it doesn't! Find my 'how-to' below...Backstory -- Months ago I had a birthday and decided my present to myself would be spending more time/money on makeup which led to spending more time/ money on skincare. Admittedly, I am newer as far as experience, but because of the benefits of youtube, I have learned so much from experts and self-taught alike and am likely at least intermediate status now, hehe. However, despite many good tips for partially hooded/oily eyes like mine, nothing worked. Whether it's a light dabbing of foundation, or powder, or eye powder/ cream/ glitter, within an hour at most my eyes will have long lines in my crease and makeup on the lid has stuck to the higher hooded cave, etc. I was beginning to feel like I could only opt out or constantly dab out the little shimmer I had on my lid (I love shimmers!). But then, I put a few tips from a few sources together and it works, over and over again, it works! My eyes don't crease to my astonishment!Here's what I do for successful non-creasing makeup on partial hooded and moderately oily eyes:1. Avoid skincare on eye (skin) real estate, start with a clean canvas. However, I'm not going to forgo the uber important skin health protector sunscreen, so I do still use this on skin around my eyes. (Keep in mind I'm using Korean spf 50 ordered off Amazon by P.Calm - it's amazing and throw's all older generation spf's out of the water (feels like light quick absorbing lotion, no sting, primes makeup, not oily, perfection! If you haven't tried a newer generation spf for your face - do yourself an amazing favor and look for one from J or K-beauty brands NOW!)2. After ~15minutes to allow spf absorption and dry down, take a blotting tissue or equivalent (I use kim wipes) and thoroughly blot your lids, eyelashes, skin up to brow. (I'm also venturing into doing the same for my under eyes which always crease as well, but haven't done enough to stand by the method.)3. Squeeze a ~1/2in line of ThankMeLater eye primer onto index finger (they say smaller than a pea, but essentially enough to lightly coat the eye area), then I dab primer onto the other index finger to spread evenly between both fingers, and then I dab this onto my eyes, up into my crease, and all the way up to my brows. It has a light pink/corrective color about it, and on my fair/light skin it just gently evens out the darkness under my skin. Wait ~3-5minutes until primer is fully dry and not tacky.4. I then go in again with the blotting tissue over the area to remove any moisture/oil that may remain. Finally, use a small fluffy brush, swirl and tap multiple times in translucent powder (I'm liking e.l.f.'s HD powder right now) to fill with powder but not excess, and thoroughly dust all over lids, crease, up to brows.5. Do your eye makeup!6. Finish with a matte setting spray (I'm liking the e.l.f. blue light mist), I do this after all makeup is done, but it's possible an under and over eye shadow set spray could be effective.I haven't done anything to wild yet, but I'm used to even a tiny smudge of cream colored shimmer or powder eye liner working its way up/melting and creasing up between my lids and hoods, and it doesn't happen with this method and this eye primer! I'm so amazed, because I've tried pieces of this plan to no avail, and I had convinced myself I just can't wear eye makeup. Also, this is so great, it works alone to just have evened-out complexion on the eyes and/or for a very modest light matte powder or highlight type shimmer, which is what I do most days!Hope this helps someone out there! Hope this also reminds us all to not hastily reject a product for skincare or makeup -- I'm a perfect example -- get some advice, educate yourself, experiment, and maybe you'll find the product wasn't a waste. I seriously tried this primer 5 times and it smudged and creased to the point that I thought it's worse to use the primer than not, but I just hadn't figured out what worked for me yet :) Thank YOU Elizabeth Mott Thank me later eye primer!

Thanking the company now for making such a great product. Goes on smoothly and eye shadow stays on all day and looks fresh all day. A clear winner, and I will definitely be buying this again. Thank you!

Officially obsessed with this and just ordered my second bottle. I don't suffer from redness or rosacea anything, but I do have some spots on my face that get dark when I use my fake tan, and a few blemishes here and there. I use this on my face when I don't want to wear makeup but need a little extra filter for the day, either going to the gym in the morning or running errands and being in public. This works SO WELL and I feel like it even dries up any blemishes I do have and I don't have any bad reaction with my fake tanner either. It's a little pricer than other options that look similar, but I found a brand that works and doesn't irritate my skin, so I am sticking with it! It lasts a long time and a little goes a long way. I just use my hands and rub it in like face lotion! I have worn this under makeup and well and it works perfectly!

It’s not bareMinerals eyeshadow primer that’s for sure. Nothing will ever compare to that. I decided to try this because bare minerals decided to change their formula and applicator which sucks. This primer is pretty good though the first time I wore it I sweated like crazy and had it on for about 6-8 hours and everything stayed in place. This last time I used it I had it on for 12 hours. It did start to crease around hour 10 which I found disappointing. BareMinerals I could sleep in and wake up with eye shadow still on.This will do until I can find something else. The price is good and you get a lot. A little goes along way. I’m pretty satisfied though.

This eye primer is perfect. Easy to apply and keeps shadow from fading all day. Lets you start shadow application with a smooth lid surface. I am 67 with typical crinkly lids for this age. I have tried many eye primers and this has been my favorite for many years now.

Wish I would’ve found this sooner! My last go-to product went from $5 to $34 so I needed a new shadow primer. This one works great at a great price point! I included photos comparing my eyes at 8am this morning and 11pm tonight. No touch-ups at any point. I don’t use cheap eyeshadow so I’m sure that helps, but my biggest tip is to use setting powder over the primer. Works like a charm, and this primer keeps my shadow looking great after 15 hours of wear!
