I do a lot of different things with my eye makeup, but one thing I always do every day is wear eye makeup primer. Two reasons: it keeps your shadow and liner on longer and it shows allows the true color of the product to come through without being affected by your skin tone. It’s a product I can’t live without! Recently I’ve been using this L’Oreal Paris Magic Decrease primer and I love it. Less than $10 at the drug store, and it’ll help you get the most bang for your buck out of your eye shadows. Don’t believe me? I’ve put together this two-minute video with a demonstration to show you what I mean! Check it out, and don’t forget to check me out under the hashtag #doyourmakeup on Instagram and Twitter. Hashtag your own daily makeup and join in!

Wet n wild and elf make great primers also, for a great price!! 🙂 I love playing with makeup!
Thanks for the tip! I am just foraying into drugstore makeup after having used Mary Kay for years. I’ll give those primers a try, too!
Maybe this is a dumb question, but can you use regular primer on your eyelids like you use for the rest of your face? That’s what I do – I honestly did not realize they made it specifically for your lids. :/
Emily, I also do that when I’m out of eye primer. It does work but not as well. I think eye lid primer is more “Grabby” as far as color goes. You wouldn’t want to use it on the rest of your face, LOL! I think it’s thicker because the skin on our eyelids is so much thinner. That’s just my hypothesis!
That makes sense. I’ll have to get some and try it out!
