Milani Eyeshadow Primer, Nude, 9ml

I really like how it glides on the eyelide and provides a clean and perfect canvas for my eyeshadow. Highly recommend it!

I'm using it for years, never managed to find anything better

Très bonne tenue Parfait

Exelente primer para el maquillaje de ojos, sombras, eyeliner, etc. Tengo la piel grasa, pero el maquillaje aguanta todo el día perfectamente y sin moverse del sitio. Suelo utilizar bastante cantidad de sombra de ojos, maquillandome el párpado entero y no se emborrona, no se acumula en el pliegue del párpado, ni tampoco pierde la intensidad por desgaste. Incluso con la ola de calor, que he estado haciendo turismo a la solana con 42 grados y sin parar, sudando como un pollo, pero la sombra de ojos seguía perfecta como si me hubiera acabado de maquillar. Esto último me ha sorprendido bastante, pero oye, muy gratamente.

I have used a variety of eye primers in the past 8 years or so, and I have to say, I think the Milani eye primer is very likely to be my favorite, not just among the cheaper options but also against high end stuff too. In the past the two I used most were the Urban Decay Primer Potion and the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I started with UDPP but eventually moved over to using TFSI as I liked the texture of TFSI more. UDPP always felt a bit more oily and liquidy compared to TFSI. The problem I ended up having with TFSI is that after a while it separates, and then it turns into greasy mess too. Later I started using the Wet n Wild eye primer, which I really liked for a long time. I pretty much liked the WnW as much as I liked TFSI, maybe a little more since it's cheaper. However I noticed the WnW primer had kind of opposite problem of both UDPP and TFSI - whereas UDPP and TFSI are both more liquidy and oily (esp after TFSI separates), I find the WnW to be rather dry. I stopped wearing makeup for a couple of years, then recently I picked up a couple tubes of UDPP when it was on sale during black friday, thinking it's gotten much cheaper and surely UDPP is good. Except I realized that it REALLY is much liquidier and greasier than I prefer. Because of the liquidy texture, it seems to take much longer to pat it onto my lid, and the greasiness/liquidiness ends up not playing nice with the foundation around my eye area. I tried to not put any fdnt on my eyelid, but it still was creating patchiness when I tried to blend it out at the edge of where the fdnt would meet the primer. I noticed that the WnW primer was doing the same thing (though not as obvious). At this point I don't have a tube of regular TFSI, just a sample of TFSI champaigne - and that was also doing the same thing. I picked the Milani eye primer up on a whim due to emilynoel83's youtube vids. The texture is absolutely perfect - it's not liquidy/greasy like the UDPP, but it's not nearly as dry as WnW either. Only time will tell if it separates or changes texture though, but even comparing brand new tubes of UDPP, WnW, and this together, this still have the best texture. It also blends onto my eyelid super easily with zero patchiness where it meets foundation. I also find that it doesn't disturb my concealer under my eyes either, and in general it somehow melds into my eyelid with minimum amount of need to pat/blend. Both UDPP and WnW takes much longer. I also find that I can simply pat it to blend, whereas both UDPP and WnW i had to tug/swipe (which then can cause more patchiness against fdnt and concealer). In terms of performance, it works as well as the other two. I have oily skin but monolid so there's no crease to worry about. Most primers work well on me, so just like with UDPP, WnW, and TFSI, this kept my eyeshadows on with no fading or melting, and vibrant all day. I have yet to experience any oily pooling at the corner of my eyes from liner either (which used to happen back in the days, but it could've been because of the liner and not primer issues). For the price I paid, which is even cheaper than when UDPP went on sale, this is an excellent product. I currently have a full new-ish tube of UDPP, an old sample of TFSI Champaigne, and a new-ish tube of WnW, and I still only wanna use this. I also have a back up tube of UDPP that i literally do not know what to do with now. Remind self to never buy backups, no matter how discounted, because I might find stuff I like better! I believe the WnW primer is cheaper than this retail price (although with amazon S&S the price difference was only in cents level), but since the WnW is so much drier, I definitely still prefer this. I'd rather shell over a couple of extra dollars and not run into my eyeprimer screwing with my foundation.

Ich finde den Primer super! Habe ihn mir jetzt nachgekauft und da ich die erste Tube ebenfalls über Amazon gekauft habe, weiß ich dass die erste Tube über 2 Jahre gehalten hat! Und das bei nahezu täglicher Benutzung. Man braucht wirklich sehr wenig. Ich habe sehr ölige Augenlider und nach ein paar Stunden setzte sich mein Augen Make up immer ab und verschmierte. Habe viele Primer ausprobiert aber mit diesem habe ich endlich ein funktionierendes Produkt gefunden. Die Konsistenz ist recht pastös. Verteilt man ihn dann auf dem Augenlid trocknet er und hinterlässt ein leicht klebriges Gefühl. Ich pudere ihn immer ab und trage anschließend mein Augen make up auf. Und es hält! Kann ich nur empfehlen!

This product is great. I had been using urban decays primer potion and too faced shadow insurance previously and I have to say that this Milani primary works just as well. It's not sticky and provides a nice base for my eyeshadows. I use the naked palettes and have honestly not noticed any difference when using milani instead of shadow insurance. It comes in a really easy to use tube with a good tip for application directly on to the eyelid. Absolutely brilliant for the price too. I'll certainly be buying this instead of the more expensive primers in the future.
