I bought this product because I was hoping it would help my eyeshadow and liner last a little longer. I have very, very oily lids and nothing seems to stay on them. My eyeshadow creases badly (and I use an eyeshadow that's higher end and isn't supposed to crease!) and my eyeliner - even pencil eyeliner - runs and smudges but not in a good way! I don't know about you, but the whole Alice Cooper look isn't for me! lol.

Anyway, this product just didn't do it for me. It helped make my shadows and liner last a teensy bit longer but not by much. It's basically the same as smeering some foundation or concealer on your lids without powder and then applying your shadow and liner - ie, it doesn't last well.

If you have very oily lids I advise you not to waste your money. There are products out there that are at a better price that actually work. I'm actually about to write a review on one that I found - check out my page if you're interested.

The best thing is that if you have a nice Mary Kay lady, she will probably exchange this product for something else if you want, since Mary Kay has a 100% satisfaction guantee.

Hi there,

I have oily lids too, and I found that dusting loose powder over my lids first, then following that with the primer, then the shadow makes all the difference. My shadow does not crease and the eye makeup glides on smoothly. Oh and my eyelids no longer look shiny! :)
