Putting a primer before eye shadow is a must, if you want the colour to stay longer. The colour is also more pigmented and you don't need to build up multiple times. It will help for people with oily eyelids because the primer makes the eyeshadow stay right where it needs to be.
Now I know some primers can be really expensive so here's a recipe on how to make one yourself. It's super easy!
What do you need?
- an odourless body lotion or moisturiser
- a concealer
- a small container
- a toothpick
First, you take your tiny container. I'm using an old gel liner container from Bobbi Brown, but you can use anything. Then, you add 1/2 concealer and 1/2 odourless body lotion. I'm using a L'oréal concealer and a Nivea body lotion. I like using a thick lotion so the primer stays on for a very long time. After you've added your two ingredients, mix them together with a toothpick and VOILA! You have your own, homemade primer!

Below, you can see some swatches of eyeshadow with and without the primer. I put some primer on my hand and added one swipe of eyeshadow with a brush. As you can see, this makes A HUGE difference. This primer lasts about 6-8 hours, which is a reasonable time for a homemade primer.
