Product Review - Face of Australia Eye Primer

Eye Primers... In my opinion an absolute essential! They create a base for you to apply your eyeshadow which generally makes the shadow more pigmented and also last a lot longer.

Recently I got to try out the Face of Australia Eye Primer and I was stoked because my regular eye primer (Urban Decay Primer Potion) isn't readily available in Australia and also costs $19USD per tube. The primer comes in 2 different formulas, matte & shimmer. I tried out the matte version. So did it measure up?

To test it out I used my regular Urban Decay Primer Potion on one eye and the Face of Australia Eye Primer on the other eye. The Face of Australia Eye Primer is quite matte and thick and once smoothed onto the eyelid my eyeshadow applied really smooth and pigmented and unfortunately that's where my good comments about this primer end. My eyeshadow creased within 2hrs and while the Urban Decay Primer Potion was still going strong on the other eye I was pretty much shadowless by the end of the day on Face of Australia's eye, not a good look at all.

I also can't really think of another use for this primer (I know some people are using the shimmer primer as a highlighter...genius!) so if you do want to give it a go, perhaps go for the shimmer version so you can use it as a multi-use product.

You can purchase this eye primer for $7.95AUD from all Face of Australia stockists (Priceline, Kmart, Big W etc) or online at Fashion Addict (and it's only $6.95AUD there)
