I’m sick of spending $30 for eyeshadow primer. What are your favorite less expensive or drugstore brands?

    Ulta matte! I can do elaborate looks and after 12 hrs my whole face can fade but eyeshadow is still going strong. I’ve had the same full size tube for 2 years and not close to running out.

    I use ELF color corrector. I use the peach color. It actually works better than the expensive eyelid primer I had been using because it cancels out eyelid discoloration much better. Not to worry, it doesn’t look orange or peach on the lid. It looks cream colored. My eyeshadow stays on all day and into the night.

    Easy! ELF eyeshadow primer. It’s not the fanciest I’ve ever used but it does what it needs to do!

    I remember when ELF was a lip balm in the travel bins at Target. My how times have changed 🤣🤣🤣

      God I remember in like mid 2000s their stuff was all $1 but their eyeshadow used to be complete trash. It was so hard and barely any pigment. They have come a long way

      I do not like this one. Urban decay is really not that much and so much better. I like Sin because you can wear it alone…

    I always use MAC Paint Pot. It’s definitely not a cheap option, but it will last up to a year. I’ve even pushed past a year. It’s truly only an annual buy for me, which makes it worth it.

      I still have mine from highschool for the random art projects. I really loved their paints as well that came in a metal tube.

    I like the NYX High Def eye primer. I’ve never been able to find the Milani one. But I don’t mind spending 20 something dollars for the UD one. It takes me more than a year to finish one.
