Product Review: Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

If you are my regular readers you would have known by now that I have super oily eye lid. I cannot stress this enough but on a brighter side, oily lid delays the onset of fine lines and wrinkles and this is true for me.

I bought this Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer after reading postive reviews from fellow bloggers overseas and decided to give this product a try. I am glad to report to you that this primer works for super oily lid. 

I must admit that before joining the blog world, I have the slightest clue on the existance of such a thing called Eye Primer. During the "dark" ages, I had trouble keeping my eye shadow in tact past lunch time. So, I decided not to use eye shadow even though I have quite a collection at that time. After discovering the magical Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion (UDPP) through blogging, I enjoy putting eye makeup as my effort can last for the whole day, even through the late evenings.

the applicator is soft and easy to use

After more than 10 hrs my eye shadow is still intact

Like

1. It holds my eye makeup for more than 10 hrs! Even after my exercise, my eye shadow is still intact

2. It is comparable with UDPP but it is way much cheaper - less than RM30 (price as at 2011).

3. Its packaging is transparent so I can see whether the product is finishing

4. The texture is less concentrated compared to UDPP but it spreads easily and will disappear into your skin

Dislike

None at the moment

4.5/5

How to apply Eye Primer (Sequence of application)

1. As I have very oily lid, I do not use any eye gel for my upper lid. I straight away dab some primer on my lid and use my ring finger to gently spread the product paying special attention to the inner crease area.

2. I would dust some loose powder over the lid area 

3. Next I would apply eye shadow

If you are looking for a durable eye primer that won't burn a hole in your pocket, Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer is the answer.

Well, I need to get a replacement soon.

Have you tried this product before? Is it a Yay or a Nay?

My UDPP Operation

Dear Readers

Some of you may know how I love my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (UDPP). I have reviewed it here. I used it each time before I apply my eye shadow to make sure that the color stays intact the whole day even after my exercise.

I used my UDPP since April 2010. It was a 16.3 ml tube. Recently, I could hardly get any product from the tube and so I decided to conduct a "surgery" on the tube to see whether I can escavate any products from it.

To my surprise, I managed to dig out 7ml of products from the tube! I used a Clinique 7ml container to store the product and there are still some remainder in another container. 7ml is actually slightly less than half of the products in the original tube. What a waste if I actually threw it away. Thankfully, I did the "surgery".

So, if you have a UDPP tube that you don't seemed to be able to get any product from using the wand, I suggest that you try this out. The tube is actually very hard but the bottom part is thinner. I saw a small crack and used my scissors to cut it open. It is quite an exciting operation.

so much products inside!

7ml of products and some remainder

Totally cleaned up!

Now, I use a flat brush to pick up the product and apply it on my eyelid. This method is working fine for me. Sometimes I used my finger to even out the product on my eyelid.

Have anyone of you tried this operation before? Do share.

Happy reading!
