      I have the one by two faced. It works really well! I was never able to wear eyeshadow w/out it fading or creasing until now!

    Urban Decay Primer Potion! That stuff makes your shadows stick like glue and no creasing (even on my over 40 eyelids!)

    UDPP with a paint pot or pigment on top.

    L’oreal color extender..

    let me explain, I tried at sephora Urban decay primer potion, and it indeed extends the wear of eyeshadow 6 hours or more! But I didn’t buy it though. I saw on youtube that in order to get all our money’s worth, we should cut up the bottle and get the product out.. err, so I thought this was a hassel so the product I don’t want to buy .. for now.

    Then I bought this l’oreal color extender for 10 bucks, I thought that’s not bad and it did hold me shadow up to 6 hours, so I’m content with this. If I have the guts to shell out $18 for a UDPP, I would buy it.. or until I find a kniwfe and an empty box so no product is wasted..

    I did a test once of all my bases with shadow on top to test which one gave the most color intensity, and MAC shadesticks won hands down. Most other bases, including UDPP and MAC paints dulled down the instensity of my shadows, but not shadesticks! :)

    For really long lasting shadow I do UDPP with a shadestick on TOP, since UDPP works as glue to keep my e/s on forever, and the shadestick makes the color and finish pop!

    I like Too Faced’s Shadow Insurance (love the little squeeze tube) coupled with MAC Paint Pots. I like UDPP as well, but I find it to be a bit too drying sometimes, and the elbow grease that goes into cracking open that genie bottle when you *think* you’re out of it is too much for me to bear. (Although, you really do get a crazy amount of extra product that way).

    have tried udpp, mac paint pots/sahdesticks/paints & too faced shadow insurance. shiseido’s hydropowder surpasses them all. the other were overly drying or too creamy. shiseido’s wears like iron. love it.

    Mac Paint Pot in either Soft Ochre or Painterly. No creasing, no fading, it just sticks there until you take it off.

    I like UDPP, but i think they must change the container

    Primer Potion. Not only does it make shadows last forever, if you do go to the trouble of chopping up the tube, you definitely get so much more out of it. I’m still on the contents of my first bottle, more than a year later.

    MAC paints (NOT paint pots) and Shiseido cream shadows…

    UDPP is the most awesome thing on the planet…except for Starbucks Mango & Passionfruit fraps :D

    I’ve been obsessed with Benefit’s F.Y.Eye for six years. It was one of the first beauty products I was ever hooked on. I can’t get enough of it. See more about it here: Prime and Proper.

    UDPP!!! And I don’t go through the trouble of opening it. You’re not supposed to keep a tube af mascare for more than a couple of months, primers cant be THAT different. Besides, i got something that reminded me of an allergic reaction about 8 months into my first bottle, but since I bought a new one I’ve been fine.

    UDPP hands down. I did try Mac cream color base before that, creased like crazy.

    Without a doubt, Urban Decay Primer Potion!! It’s foolproof :)

    Mary Kay primer for sure

    Between UDPP and TFSI I cannot tell the difference in terms of performance. But TFSI wins because of the squeeze tube ;-)

    i’m quite contented with l’oreal decrease, it works the same for me as using mac painterly. i like it more than mac because it’s thinner so it feels lighter in the summer and it’s a lot cheaper. i don’t always wear colorful eyeshadows so this works just fine for me.

    UD Primer Potion for sure! Although, I agree with people above who say they should change the packaging…it would be soooooo much practical!

    Mac paintpots in soft ochre and painterly! They never come off and make my shadows POP like crazy!

  26. Paola

    Monday, October 6, 2008

    FOR SOME REASON I PUT ON UDPP AND MY SKIN IS TOO SENSITIVE…BUT I LOVE MAC PAINT POTS! THEY MAKE MY EYE COLOR POP AND STAY ON ALL DAY…I JUST BOUGHT PAINTERLY WHICH I LOVE…I ALSO WEAR LOREAL DECREASE AND BARE MINERALS PRIMER…THEY BOTH WORK FINE AS WELL :)

    MAC Paints, hands down. Last a lot longer than UDPP.

    UDPP – lasts forever.
    Sometimes MAC Paint Pots – sometimes….because it doesn’t last.

    UDPP without a doubt. :)

    It’s my lover.

    UDPP with a MAC paint pot blended overtop.

  34. Cat

    Tuesday, October 7, 2008

    I tried paints and paint pots but the only thing that seems to work for 12hrs+ is UDPP. Being that I had oily skin the paints and paint pots only work for so long before everything starts shifting to my crease. I never tried Too Face Shadow Insurance, but i’m interested.

    Macs Painterly Paint Pot

  36. S.

    Tuesday, October 7, 2008

    For me, Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I’ve never tried UDPP, because the packaging discouraged me (much prefer the squeeze tube), but when my TFSI runs out, I may give it a try

    I like MAC paint pots as well, but have to be sure I don’t overapply, or they crease…same with regular MAC paints

    On a side note, I did read on one beauty blog that someone had written a letter to Urban Decay about the UDPP packaging, and they wrote back saying they were in the proces of testing out new packaging, so we’ll see :)

    For me, UDPP or Two Faced Shadow Insurance with MAC paintpot/cream eyeshadow over. I normally use Painterly, or when I am using blues/greens shadows, I use Otherworldy.

    i don’t have urban decay where i live… or any other american brand i hear people rave about all the time here, or on youtube, or specktra or make up alley! so i haven’t had the chance to try them just yet. but so far, i’m really pleased with the mac paint pots. there’s something about unscrewing a jar i really like. it makes me feel like it’s something really special! haha i guess i’m just a bit strange like that :P

    Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It has now replaced my MAC paints and paint pots as a primer.

    I’ve only tried one primer before and that’s Too Faced and I really love it! But it seems like everyone here really likes Urban Decay and MAC. Those are next on my list when this runs out!

    You know what, you don’t even really need a base. I just use my foundation to disguise the veins and such and its great. I save money for good products that i really like/want/need. Such as foundation(either MAC liquid foundation or bare minerals) or my all star concealer(amazing concealer by amazing cosmetics. I know my friend likes a product called Too Faced Shadow Insurance but everyone has their favorites :)

    LEMON AID BY BENEFIT!! i don’t know how it isn’t on here yet, is benefit just a british thing?!?!

    i’ve tried mac, UDPP, clinique and No7, but benefit has been the best, especially if you have darker or olive skin.

    haven’t tried shiseido ot too faced yet though…
