FAQs

How much product should I use?

A very small, pea-sized amount is generally sufficient for both eyelids. Using too much can lead to creasing or a sticky feeling.

Can I use this primer with cream eyeshadows?

Yes, it works well with cream eyeshadows to enhance their longevity and prevent creasing. Apply a thin layer and allow it to set before applying your cream shadow.

Does this primer have a tint?

No, the Original formula is translucent once blended. It does not add any color to your eyelid, making it suitable for all skin tones. Other variants, like 'Eden' or 'Sin', do offer a slight tint.

Is this product waterproof?

While the primer significantly helps with eyeshadow longevity and resistance to smudging from minor moisture, it does not make your eyeshadow fully waterproof. For waterproof results, pair it with waterproof eyeshadows or liners.

How long does a tube typically last?

Due to the small amount needed per application, a single tube can last several months with daily use, often 3-6 months or even longer, depending on frequency of use.

Can I use this on my lower lash line?

Yes, a tiny amount can be carefully applied to the lower lash line before applying eyeliner or eyeshadow to help with longevity and prevent smudging, but be very sparing to avoid irritation.

Troubleshooting

Eyeshadow is still creasing or fading quickly.

Ensure you are applying a very thin, even layer of primer. Too much product can also cause creasing. Allow adequate time (30-60 seconds) for the primer to set before applying eyeshadow. For very oily lids, try patting a translucent powder over the primer before eyeshadow.

Primer feels sticky or doesn't blend smoothly.

You might be using too much product. Try reducing the amount to a tiny dot for both eyes. Also, ensure your eyelids are clean and dry before application. If the product itself seems thick, ensure the cap has been sealed tightly after each use to prevent drying out.

Eyeshadow color isn't as vibrant as expected.

Make sure the primer is applied evenly across the entire eyelid where eyeshadow will be placed. Ensure it has fully set before applying eyeshadow. If using a particularly sheer eyeshadow, the primer can help, but some pigments naturally have less intensity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eyeshadow stays crease-free and vibrant all day.
  • Enhances the true color payoff of any eyeshadow.
  • Provides a smooth canvas for seamless blending.
  • Lightweight feel ensures comfortable wear.
  • Helps prevent eyeshadow fallout.
  • A small amount goes a long way.

Cons

  • Requires quick blending as it sets fast.
  • May dry out if the cap is not securely fastened.
  • Not specifically formulated with anti-aging benefits (other variants exist).
  • Price point might be higher compared to some drugstore primers.
  • Requires proper removal at the end of the day to prevent buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup (Application):

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.

Compatibility:

  • 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.

Product Care:

  • 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.
