Question of the Week: Are you loyal to one eyeshadow primer or do you like to hop around and try new things? What’s your holy grail eyeshadow primer (or your favorite of the moment)?
Answer: I test a fair amount of cruelty free primers for My Beauty Bunny, and will experiment with different brands and formulas, but the one eye shadow primer I always return to is Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Eden. The “nude matte” shade works well with my complexion, covering up the dark skin on my eyelids. It always leaves me with a smooth canvas for eyeshadow and does a nice job in preventing creases and smudges.
