Eyeshadow Primers...

What it does:

Eyeshadow primer is a cosmetic that is used to coat the eyelids prior to the application of eyeshadow so the eyeshadow can be applied in a smooth, even layer and so the eyeshadow will stay in place on the eyelid. Some people find that creases appear in their eyeshadow during the day. These creases are the result of movements of the eyelids such as blinking and normal eye movements. Eyeshadow primer works to keep these creases from appearing and can also help to boost the vibrancy of the eyeshadow color as well as allowing your eyeshadow to stay on longer.

My Opinion:

I have tried lots of different brands and types of eyeshadow primers and I have not had any trouble with any that I have used. Of course the texture, consistency, and feel on the eye lids are all different. I personally believe when choosing a primer it depends on all of those things. Whether you like a light or heavy feeling, thin or thick application, or if you want it skin tone, white, colors, or even if you want it to be clear. It all depends on what you prefer.

Products Review:

Liquid Liners-

Are you a fan of liquid liners? I am!  and I am always looking for the next best thing in liquid liners. I have tried several liquid liners within the past 2 weeks; to see if there was anything in comparison to the one I have been using for about 4 ½ years now. When looking for liquid liners I am more interested in finding one that is simple to use, easy to apply, has a bold color, and is long wearing. I only went to a few places to see if there were any I thought would be worth trying out. I will be rating the products I have used using a rating scale 1 out of 5 or whatever the case may be, and I will also give my opinion on each product. I will defiantly keep you all posted on any new liquid liners I may find and  try out.

v  Avon Perfect Wear EyeWriter Liquid Eyeliner  (Evening Black) $8.00

Ø  Claims: “Hold the line… with smudge-proof, waterproof color. Smooth, rich color, glides on evenly, last all day.”

** 5 out of 5 - This is my favorite liquid liner of all time I have been using it for a really long time now. This liner has a “normal” and simple packaging. It also has a really good color payoff and it actually does everything that it claims to do it just pure WONDERFUL. I still to this day have not found anything in comparison to this liner.**

v  Mark. On the Edge Hook Up Liquid Liner (Cleo) $6.00

Ø  Claims: “Get a precise long wearing finish with this quick-drying, easy to apply liquid liner.”

** 4 out of 5 - This is a wonderful liner it has a really bold color to it. It does do majority of what it claims, but it is just so small and hard to use EXCEPT if you buy 2 things and hook them up it is wonderful. It’s just the packaging that makes it lose a star.**

v E.L.F Waterproof Eyeliner Pen (Black) $1.00-

Ø   Claims: “Get no smudge with no-budge eyeliner which creates a fabulous and fresh look of precision.”

** 3 out of 5 - This liner has really surprised me for it to only cost a $1.00 I am very impressed with it. I am already running out of product, but for only a buck it is really good.

v Sephora Doe Eyed Felt Eyeliner (Ink Black) $12.00

ØClaims: “A long-lasting eyeliner with precise felt tip to define the eyes in one stroke.”

** 1 out of 5 -  This liner when I first tried it I was great, but when I went to use it  for the second time it was already out of product. $12.00 is kind of a lot of money for a one time use.**

Please let me know if you have a favorite liquid liner I would love to keep trying new ones. Also THANK YOU for reading please follow me for more Reviews, Makeup Looks, Makeup Tips, Hauls, and Much More.

XOXO,

Alyssa
