Milani Eyeshadow Primer

I first learned about this Milani Eyeshadow Primer from my friend A., then a few days later Citrine reviewed it on her blog, which I took to be a sign that I'd better try it too. So I went out to my local Walgreens (was still in SF at the time) to pick one up. I don't know how many shades are available, but I only saw 01 Nude at the time so that's what I have. Boy it's in a huge tube, 9mL/0.3fl oz. -- that's more than double the size of a full size Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion that's only 3.7mL/0.37fl oz! Given that I only use a pin's head amount at a time for both eyes, this tube will probably last me forever.

This eye primer comes in a practical squeeze tube. The primer itself comes out a firm cream in a pale skin color. It blends to match my skin tone almost exactly and dries to a translucent finish. I can't help the comparison with UD Primer Potion above but I honestly can't tell the difference between the two, both work just as well, keeping my eye shadow fresh and crease-free even after several hours of wear. Keep in my I have very oily lids and most cream shadows are busts on me so this is quite a feat! So definitely give Milani a try if you're in the market for an eye primer, it's a fraction of the UD price, $6 vs. $20 at more than double the product content!
