Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Primer – Long-Lasting, Eyeshadow Primer Base for Oily Lids & Crease-Free Wear – Smudge-Proof, Lightweight, Cruelty-Free – 10g

In an Ocean of Options, This is a Real Gem
I have hooded, oily skin, including my eyelids, and I was looking for an eyeshadow primer that truly would help keep my experiments with eyeshadow flattering, crease-free, and super pigmented so that I don’t have to waste product. I watched review after review, from high end to drugstore, and felt so conflicted. I finally took the plunge and decided to give this one a chance because while many videos didn’t mention it, many forums did. I’m glad I listened! This eyeshadow primer is a gem. I barely need even half of a pea-sized dot per eye and allow the primer to sit for 30 seconds or so, and that surface is super smooth, super blendable, and does not crease even after being out and about all day. The colors pop, stay where they need to be, and my eyes don’t feel dry from wearing it all. It’s exactly what I was looking for, and I will definitely be a return customer for how well it worked for me. Definitely give it a try if you’re drowning in a sea of options. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised like I was!

Works on partial hooded, oily eyes 😀
Okay — I almost threw this eye primer out, but I’m sure glad I didn’t! I finally figured out how to make this work for my skin/issues and I keep checking mirrors wondering when my eye makeup will inevitably crease, and it doesn’t! Find my ‘how-to’ below…Backstory — Months ago I had a birthday and decided my present to myself would be spending more time/money on makeup which led to spending more time/ money on skincare. Admittedly, I am newer as far as experience, but because of the benefits of youtube, I have learned so much from experts and self-taught alike and am likely at least intermediate status now, hehe. However, despite many good tips for partially hooded/oily eyes like mine, nothing worked. Whether it’s a light dabbing of foundation, or powder, or eye powder/ cream/ glitter, within an hour at most my eyes will have long lines in my crease and makeup on the lid has stuck to the higher hooded cave, etc. I was beginning to feel like I could only opt out or constantly dab out the little shimmer I had on my lid (I love shimmers!). But then, I put a few tips from a few sources together and it works, over and over again, it works! My eyes don’t crease to my astonishment!Here’s what I do for successful non-creasing makeup on partial hooded and moderately oily eyes:1. Avoid skincare on eye (skin) real estate, start with a clean canvas. However, I’m not going to forgo the uber important skin health protector sunscreen, so I do still use this on skin around my eyes. (Keep in mind I’m using Korean spf 50 ordered off Amazon by P.Calm – it’s amazing and throw’s all older generation spf’s out of the water (feels like light quick absorbing lotion, no sting, primes makeup, not oily, perfection! If you haven’t tried a newer generation spf for your face – do yourself an amazing favor and look for one from J or K-beauty brands NOW!)2. After ~15minutes to allow spf absorption and dry down, take a blotting tissue or equivalent (I use kim wipes) and thoroughly blot your lids, eyelashes, skin up to brow. (I’m also venturing into doing the same for my under eyes which always crease as well, but haven’t done enough to stand by the method.)3. Squeeze a ~1/2in line of ThankMeLater eye primer onto index finger (they say smaller than a pea, but essentially enough to lightly coat the eye area), then I dab primer onto the other index finger to spread evenly between both fingers, and then I dab this onto my eyes, up into my crease, and all the way up to my brows. It has a light pink/corrective color about it, and on my fair/light skin it just gently evens out the darkness under my skin. Wait ~3-5minutes until primer is fully dry and not tacky.4. I then go in again with the blotting tissue over the area to remove any moisture/oil that may remain. Finally, use a small fluffy brush, swirl and tap multiple times in translucent powder (I’m liking e.l.f.’s HD powder right now) to fill with powder but not excess, and thoroughly dust all over lids, crease, up to brows.5. Do your eye makeup!6. Finish with a matte setting spray (I’m liking the e.l.f. blue light mist), I do this after all makeup is done, but it’s possible an under and over eye shadow set spray could be effective.I haven’t done anything to wild yet, but I’m used to even a tiny smudge of cream colored shimmer or powder eye liner working its way up/melting and creasing up between my lids and hoods, and it doesn’t happen with this method and this eye primer! I’m so amazed, because I’ve tried pieces of this plan to no avail, and I had convinced myself I just can’t wear eye makeup. Also, this is so great, it works alone to just have evened-out complexion on the eyes and/or for a very modest light matte powder or highlight type shimmer, which is what I do most days!Hope this helps someone out there! Hope this also reminds us all to not hastily reject a product for skincare or makeup — I’m a perfect example — get some advice, educate yourself, experiment, and maybe you’ll find the product wasn’t a waste. I seriously tried this primer 5 times and it smudged and creased to the point that I thought it’s worse to use the primer than not, but I just hadn’t figured out what worked for me yet 🙂 Thank YOU Elizabeth Mott Thank me later eye primer!

Good Eye Primer for the $$$!
I would definitely say this eye primer is good, but it’s not like my Mac “Paint Pot” which is a little more Matte, does not crease as much in the eyelid as much as this one does that I purchased. I think that there’s a way that you can work around that is by assuring that your eyelids are free from any oils, lotions, ect. This product I believe is good for an eyeshadow primer, although I think that does one eye at a time helps to prevent creasing. Keeping your eyes closed or extremely relaxed upon application seems to decrease the creasing upon application. Hope this helps!
