Anyway, I need help picking an eye primer. I've only used Mac paint pot in painterly before, and i'm about to run out so i'm looking at repurchasing or getting primer potion since it's cheaper than the paint pot per oz. One thing to know is that I have oily and veiny lids, so I would need to use a skin-coloured one in both brands to cover up my blue veiny eyelids. Something I really liked the paint pot since is that it lasted me literally 2-3 years, can't remember exactly when I bought it but definitely around that long ago.

I read that primer potion can dry up after a few months? Can anyone confirm this? I don't want to buy something just for it to dry up. I also read that pp is very liquidly/slick itself and that it's not good for oily lids.

Any truth to this? If anyone could post a mini review of each product and say which they prefer that would really help me out.

(Please keep in mind I have oily/veiny eyelids that need covering with a skin-toned colour, though, so if you have dry lids that probably won't help me.) • • • • •. I have both and use both of them actually. The MAC paint pot is more of a cream shadow base to me and it does last a very long time.

I just recently scooped some out for my sister in a small sample jar for her and I still have tons of product left. For $20, it is worth it to me because it makes my lighter pressed eyeshadows pop. However for my loose pigments, the primer works better for bringing out the duochrome and sparkles. I have to use both on my eyelids if I want my eyeshadows to last over four hours though.

I have problems with my Lorac shadows disappearing after half an hour. My MAC and Urban decay eyeshadows last pretty decent though. I usually get my Urban Decay tube at Nordstrom Rack because they sell them for $9 instead of $20.

Overall, comparing both products, it is not the same to me. They both have different functions on my eyes.

UDPP is used as a primer to keep all of the eyeshadows lasting longer and bringing out the vividness/metallic/shimmer of eyeshadows. MAC paint pot is used as a cream base and to even out my eyelid color (redness and vein). I like them both.

But if I could only purchase one, I'd go with the MAC paint pot just because it last longer and I can get primers samples/freebies with purchase of other brands to try out that lasts awhile. I have UD PP and love it.

I've been using it since my freshman year of college back in 2009. I had a tube from back then and it never dried up. Since then, I've tried the Lorac primer and Nyx primer and neither have done much but crease on my moderately oily lids. I've never tried Painterly before, but I can tell you that my UD PP has never given me a problem. I have a tube that I use sparingly as I recently depotted my old packaging bottle (bought in 2010) into a sample container, and it hasn't dried up yet.

And I depotted it in January. Hope this helps!

I'll answer any other questions you might have. The original is a tan color but on the eyelid looks like nothing (which is the same for Too Faced Shadow Insurance). Their other ones I believe are more or less the same but with shimmer or the color may be slightly different. Regardless I still would not count a primer potion as having enough coverage from what you're used to using from the paint pot.
