Maybe it was because I wasn't caught directly in the rain per se, but between the mist and humidity, as well as just wear'n'tear of being in a restaurant, it still looked relatively good. So maybe they are worth a try :)<br /><br />XxGianna @ Makeup and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582468482775486923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-8685750724852288062011-10-28T22:57:04.895+11:002011-10-28T22:57:04.895+11:00I use a primer because I have oily eyelids, but I&...I use a primer because I have oily eyelids, but I'm yet to find one that doesn't still make my eyeshadow crease after a few hours.

However, after reading your post I might do a bit of experimenting to see the effect of primer on the intensity of colour.Vitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09731169396195526314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-34336104217922660832011-10-28T22:05:49.560+11:002011-10-28T22:05:49.560+11:00I double prime every single day (UDPP + a mac pain...I double prime every single day (UDPP + a mac paint pot) and I have oily lids so on the days that I experiment and go without, I get creasy and it's a mess within hours.<br /><br />That said, I didn't like the Australis primer.

But there are certain shadows that I just can't get to work unless I use something underneath. <br /><br />Melanie - I've never used the MAC on, but I used to have the UD one and loved it. They're just so hard to track down though! Annoying. Ooh and I keep hearing so many good things about the Smashbox one, I really need to try it. <br /><br />Cally - I know what you mean about the concealer being too heavy. This Australis primer is quite lightweight, which I like. <br /><br />Kimmi - I have creasy lids too, damn hooded eyelids! Thank goodness for cheap primers like this Australis one. <br /><br />SadeeStyle - You must have beautiful eyemakeup on all the time then!<br /><br />Fashionista - It's really lightweight and hardly feels like you have anything on. I forget it most of the time too, except on weekends when I have a little bit more time to get ready. <br /><br />Gladys - well that's definitely an incentive for always ensuring you always look perfect!<br /><br />BeautyPrincess - it's amazing isn't it? As much as I am lazy when it comes to primers, I can't deny they are effective. <br /><br />Lilit<br />xoLilithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429816579073070387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-29921301210192949412011-10-28T21:27:36.177+11:002011-10-28T21:27:36.177+11:00wow!

But to be absolutely honest and transparent, it would be embarrassing if I didn't. You see, I own a makeup company, and we hand make all of our cosmetics. People look at your face when you say that and there's nothing worse than creased or faded eyeshadow! I was blessed with oily hooded eyelids and primers are the only thing that keep eyeshadow fresh and in its place!<br /><br />xoxo<br />Gladys <br />de Leon CosmeticsGladys de Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712717325343869093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-13380027878538409702011-10-28T20:37:35.191+11:002011-10-28T20:37:35.191+11:00I dont prime, I simply always forget to get a prim...I dont prime, I simply always forget to get a primer...<br />How is the australis one? you never actually said how it goes on your eyes<br />but the colours are certainly so much more vibrant :)bbBeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070311624272213643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-1293402106943406762011-10-28T20:06:02.452+11:002011-10-28T20:06:02.452+11:00yeh i always use eye primersyeh i always use eye primerssadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290211874791429881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897793820774746634.post-24337434178821869832011-10-28T19:50:19.072+11:002011-10-28T19:50:19.072+11:00I use an eye shadow primer everyday.
