Thank Me Later Eye Primer - Long-Lasting, Eyeshadow Primer Base for Oily Lids & Crease-Free Wear - Smudge-Proof, Lightweight, Cruelty-Free - 10g

This has turned out to be a great eye makeup primer! It goes on smooth and spreads well. I've found that my eye makeup lasts for at least 10 hours when I use this primer, without budging. I also find that my eyelids, which tend to be sensitive, don't mind if I use this primer day after day. The product's price point also seems fair for the quantity and quality. I would definitely buy again.

I have hooded, oily skin, including my eyelids, and I was looking for an eyeshadow primer that truly would help keep my experiments with eyeshadow flattering, crease-free, and super pigmented so that I don't have to waste product. I watched review after review, from high end to drugstore, and felt so conflicted. I finally took the plunge and decided to give this one a chance because while many videos didn't mention it, many forums did. I'm glad I listened! This eyeshadow primer is a gem. I barely need even half of a pea-sized dot per eye and allow the primer to sit for 30 seconds or so, and that surface is super smooth, super blendable, and does not crease even after being out and about all day. The colors pop, stay where they need to be, and my eyes don't feel dry from wearing it all. It's exactly what I was looking for, and I will definitely be a return customer for how well it worked for me. Definitely give it a try if you're drowning in a sea of options. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised like I was!

This eye primer is excellent. You use the smallest amount, rub over lids and eyebrows. Make sure to let it dry completely. Eyeshadow stays on without creasing for at least 12 hours. I use this without eyeshadow and have no smudges of mascara. If you use too much it sometimes feels a bit tacky without eyeshadow. I’ve tried other primers and always go back to this. I wear makeup most days and this lasts for up to a year.

Okay -- I almost threw this eye primer out, but I'm sure glad I didn't! I finally figured out how to make this work for my skin/issues and I keep checking mirrors wondering when my eye makeup will inevitably crease, and it doesn't! Find my 'how-to' below... Backstory -- Months ago I had a birthday and decided my present to myself would be spending more time/money on makeup which led to spending more time/ money on skincare. Admittedly, I am newer as far as experience, but because of the benefits of youtube, I have learned so much from experts and self-taught alike and am likely at least intermediate status now, hehe. However, despite many good tips for partially hooded/oily eyes like mine, nothing worked. Whether it's a light dabbing of foundation, or powder, or eye powder/ cream/ glitter, within an hour at most my eyes will have long lines in my crease and makeup on the lid has stuck to the higher hooded cave, etc. I was beginning to feel like I could only opt out or constantly dab out the little shimmer I had on my lid (I love shimmers!). But then, I put a few tips from a few sources together and it works, over and over again, it works! My eyes don't crease to my astonishment! Here's what I do for successful non-creasing makeup on partial hooded and moderately oily eyes: 1. Avoid skincare on eye (skin) real estate, start with a clean canvas. However, I'm not going to forgo the uber important skin health protector sunscreen, so I do still use this on skin around my eyes. (Keep in mind I'm using Korean spf 50 ordered off Amazon by P.Calm - it's amazing and throw's all older generation spf's out of the water (feels like light quick absorbing lotion, no sting, primes makeup, not oily, perfection! If you haven't tried a newer generation spf for your face - do yourself an amazing favor and look for one from J or K-beauty brands NOW!) 2. After ~15minutes to allow spf absorption and dry down, take a blotting tissue or equivalent (I use kim wipes) and thoroughly blot your lids, eyelashes, skin up to brow. (I'm also venturing into doing the same for my under eyes which always crease as well, but haven't done enough to stand by the method.) 3. Squeeze a ~1/2in line of ThankMeLater eye primer onto index finger (they say smaller than a pea, but essentially enough to lightly coat the eye area), then I dab primer onto the other index finger to spread evenly between both fingers, and then I dab this onto my eyes, up into my crease, and all the way up to my brows. It has a light pink/corrective color about it, and on my fair/light skin it just gently evens out the darkness under my skin. Wait ~3-5minutes until primer is fully dry and not tacky. 4. I then go in again with the blotting tissue over the area to remove any moisture/oil that may remain. Finally, use a small fluffy brush, swirl and tap multiple times in translucent powder (I'm liking e.l.f.'s HD powder right now) to fill with powder but not excess, and thoroughly dust all over lids, crease, up to brows. 5. Do your eye makeup! 6. Finish with a matte setting spray (I'm liking the e.l.f. blue light mist), I do this after all makeup is done, but it's possible an under and over eye shadow set spray could be effective. I haven't done anything to wild yet, but I'm used to even a tiny smudge of cream colored shimmer or powder eye liner working its way up/melting and creasing up between my lids and hoods, and it doesn't happen with this method and this eye primer! I'm so amazed, because I've tried pieces of this plan to no avail, and I had convinced myself I just can't wear eye makeup. Also, this is so great, it works alone to just have evened-out complexion on the eyes and/or for a very modest light matte powder or highlight type shimmer, which is what I do most days! Hope this helps someone out there! Hope this also reminds us all to not hastily reject a product for skincare or makeup -- I'm a perfect example -- get some advice, educate yourself, experiment, and maybe you'll find the product wasn't a waste. I seriously tried this primer 5 times and it smudged and creased to the point that I thought it's worse to use the primer than not, but I just hadn't figured out what worked for me yet :) Thank YOU Elizabeth Mott Thank me later eye primer!

Second time buying this! I found this suggested online and it's a pretty excellent option with a great price. It lasted me easily a year if not longer (I can't exactly remember when I bought the first one). If your eyelids get really oily it may not be the absolute best. Going through perimenopause my skin started freaking out and getting crazy oily and it would fail me but as long as it's chill the product works great.

I would definitely say this eye primer is good, but it’s not like my Mac “Paint Pot” which is a little more Matte, does not crease as much in the eyelid as much as this one does that I purchased. I think that there’s a way that you can work around that is by assuring that your eyelids are free from any oils, lotions, ect. This product I believe is good for an eyeshadow primer, although I think that does one eye at a time helps to prevent creasing. Keeping your eyes closed or extremely relaxed upon application seems to decrease the creasing upon application. Hope this helps!

When I tell you guys that I have the WORST oily skin to try and put makeup on - I’m not exaggerating. Not only does my skin (scalp and face) produce as much oil as a Texas oil field, but I am also, almost always, pouring sweat. This combo makes it extraordinarily difficult to find products that work for me, even waterproof mascara is no match for the oils from my skin. This eye shadow primer is the HOLY GRAIL of primers. I’m truly shocked that anyone has had any sort of negative experience with this primer because when I use it- it’s like Jesus himself applied it to my eyes for me. Nothing creases. Nothing smears. Nothing burns. Nothing fades. There’s no fall-out. Hell, the images I’m posting with this review are of my eyes after 24 straight hours of wear, including 10 hours of walking around and pouring sweat, 8 hours of sleep where I toss and turn between each side. You can also see where I took off my strip lashes and you can also see my, still black & matte, eyeliner that was applied over this primer. I even use it on my eyebrows, and those h0e$ didn’t evaporate either. Truthfully, I love the fact that it doesn’t come with an applicator brush because you get to feel the texture difference on your skin- BUT you also feel how tacky it doesn’t get. You can feel there’s a little bit of stick to it, but if you put it on and blink your eyelid won’t get stuck or feel heavy. It also does NOT leave any residue as you rub it on your eyes, there’s no weird stripes to the side of your eyes from the product sticking to itself (looking at you urban decay). And arguably one of the most important things about this primer is that it does NOT change the color of your eyeshadow. It doesn’t make your eyelids have a darker skin tone, it also doesn’t turn your eyelid white. If anything, it lightens your eyelid just enough to not obviously see a difference, but know it’s there. The last thing I want to touch on is blending. While this primer grabs ahold of your eyeshadow and doesn’t let go, it also blends like a DREAM. Even if you stack your eyeshadow, and even if you go to blend it with Hulk strength- nothing gets stuck, nothing wipes off. If you made it this far, I hope I convinced you to buy this primer. I’ve used probably every eyeshadow primer on the market and NOTHING compares to Thank Me Later. It’s absolutely worth every penny and it will last for months, meaning a little bit really does go a LONG way. Shout out to the Buzzfeed article that originally suggested this product to me.

I am thanking you now! This product works really well for providing a base layer that allows my makeup to go only smoothly with less tugging and it lasts until I remove it at night. I was having issues with my eye shadow pencils not staying put and migtating up my eyelid or just disappearing. This Thank Me Later Eye Primer has put an end to all that! The product itself is sheer, non-sticky and has very light see-through coverage. If you're going for a no-makeup look, you could just wear this for a little more polished look. As a bonus, I received a smaller tube of "glow enhancer primer" that adds a little sparkle. With both of these products, a little goes a long way. BTW, I do not consider my eyelids oily, but this product absolutely solves the problems I was having with my other eye makeup lasting longer and staying put.
