It takes a bit, or rather, a lot, of micellar water to remove the eyeshadow because the primer is seemingly waterproof and just doesn't like to stop showing off its superiority when it comes to its performance. A lot of my eyeshadow had faded away in patches and disappeared into the crease.

I couldn't be bothered photographing anything for the next few hours because there was barely any change.īy the time it hit 2:30am, a full 14 hours since application, the damn (this is a positive 'damn', I promise) eyeshadow on my right eye still hadn't budged, save for minimal creasing which was barely noticeable, whereas my right eye was a mess. Ten hours and there was significant fading with the left eye, though the right eye was still going strong, with perhaps the tiniest bit of creasing. The right eye has not changed much at all, in fact, it looks pretty damn flawless. Six hours on and the left eye was looking a bit faded, with some of the eyeshadow bunching into the crease, and slight transferring onto the brow bone. I used the shades Champers, Drink, Pop, Toast and Pink Fizz with this look. I found that the colour payoff for the primer vs no-primer swatches were pretty much the same, with the exception of the no-primer side being more glittery. I went with a budget palette instead of my Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly, because I figured if these primers worked well with budget eyeshadows, then they would work rather nicely with high-end ones. I used my Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Pink Fizz Eyeshadow Palette for the day and used it again for the swatches below. I ended up doing a side by side comparison for my cousin's wedding last weekend, and by the end of the day, there was absolutely no difference between the two primers, so that says something about the formula. I spent a while trying to figure out how I would be able to do a side by side comparison of them on my eyelids and also include a swatch of primer vs no primer on my eyelids. With my friend's help, I was able to get my hands on both of these babies, and I knew that a comparison post just had to be done. Wet n Wild kept to their word when they said they were going to absorb the Fergie primer into their regular catalogue, just with new packaging, as the Fergie Centerstage collection was limited edition and therefore discontinued earlier this year. The only thing that differentiates them two from each other is the packaging and the name. They are practically identical in every way - the ingredients, the texture, and the lasting power. Well, technically it's 'one product when you think about it.

to essence, from Too Faced to Cover FX, and none of them have performed half as well as these two products.

I've tried several cruelty-free primers in the past year, from e.l.f. It's what finding a brilliant eyeshadow primer does for me. All thanks to having greasy hooded eyelids. I kid you not, I've been collecting eyeshadows like there's no tomorrow, now that I'm able to wear them without the damn thing melting off within seconds. They are my holy grail primers, and without these, I would have never been able to begin my obsession for eyeshadow palettes. The day has finally come when I can confidently publish a post on the two primers by Wet n Wild Beauty and tell you with absolute honesty that these are the best primers that I have ever, ever, come across.
