e.l.f.Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer, Prevents Creasing & Increases Staying Power, Sheer Eye Primer, 0.11 Fl Oz (3.1mL)

Love it. My eyelids tended to become oily my the middle of the day. now that I use this under my eyeshadow, it doesn't do that anymore.

works well. my eye shadow stayed fresh for hours.

This primer does a good job of creating a platform for eye makeup that doesn't shift during the day. It has a mild tightening effect, which is good in a way, but also means I feel my eye makeup more, making it more annoying. The "Sheer" is actually very slightly tinted, giving my eyelids a slightly lighter skin color, which is good to make bright eyeshadow brighter. I do Not like that after the primer is blended into the skin, it colors the high points a very pale skin color, and does not color the low points (so it makes any skin texture more obvious, makes wrinkles look more wrinkly). This is the opposite of an air-brushed look.

love this! it goes on smooth and staysthis product is not made anymore it has been replaced with a horrible substitute that clumps

So this is about as light as it appears and that probably doesn't matter a whole lot for a primer. The better question is how it interacts with the eyeshadow. I've used MAC, Clinique, and Urban Decay eyelid primers. I love my urban decay eyelid primer - it's the perfect shade for me.I found this relatively easy to put on and I was able to use a sponge to rub it in so the color almost didn't matter, it just added a slight lightening of the eye. In terms of primer, this gets the job done. I think the Urban Decay is better at keeping my eyeshadow in place and allowing me to blend the way I want to, but for the price, this works. I added a picture of the raw product and it rubbed in a bit on my arm for reference.One last note, like other reviewers, I thought the bottle felt a bit empty. This didn't last very long - again for the price that could be expected, but you'll be purchasing this frequently if you do your make-up daily.

My favorite eyelid primer. Covers up the veins and pigmentation.

Very little quantity in tube. Doesn’t accomplish the goal.

Update 3/31/2025 This is still the best eyelid primer for me. I have been using this since at least 2016 according to my Amazon orders. Now I live in the Phoenix area and good primer is essential. Since the last review I have tried a couple others including the new e.l.f. Lock it Down eyeshadow primer - it wasn't as good. A 2025 reviewer said they no longer make this - are you kidding me! Buying a few before the price goes up to $45+ each since it's discontinued.This has been the best eyelid primer for me. I always had trouble with eye shadow lasting until I tried eyelid primer many years ago. I have tried multiple expensive brands but always come back to e.l.f.
