Putty Eye Primer is rated 3.7 out of 5 by 133.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from More than one use! While I still use this on my eyelids as a shadow primer, I use this as a primer for concealer. Under my eyes, on dark spots, acne and my melasma on my cheek. It works great holding not just eyeshadow in place but my concealer and foundation. I took away a star because it dried out very quickly and became difficult to use. I have to put the container in a cup of very hot water for a few minutes. Otherwise I have to scrape it out, but I like to supply it with a small flat top eyeshadow brush to blend it. Other than that it's great.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Dry and ineffective (White shade) I like the idea of this but it is so dry, difficult to use, and only moderately better than no primer at all. HOWEVER, I found mixing the All Day Stay primer with this, made it lasting and a thousand times easier to use. The opaqueness is nice, too

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love!! I love this eye primer! It works very well. My eye shadow does not crease any at all and stays on all day long.
Date published: 2021-01-21
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for Oily Lids This product is nice for oily lids. I would not use this on dry lids. Also the trick is not to use too much. If you apply too much it will be harder to apply shadows and crease. This has good wear for the price point. Is it the best no, but it is great for the value.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from So dry This product is SO dry that I assumed the seal had been broken until I read the other reviews. The pictures give the illusion that its a it more creamy but it is near impossible to get any amount out on your finger.
Date published: 2021-01-19
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not sure how I feel (Shade: cream) It does work pretty well to keep makeup in place. My eyeshadow stays on pretty much all day, but good lord is this ever a dry product. It almost hurts to put on because it is so dry. It's really difficult to spread evenly over the eyelid as well for this reason
Date published: 2021-01-17
Rated 4 out of 5 by from NIce I bought this in Rose I think and it came a little dry I think but pretty good it covers veins and other discoloration and I think it helps eye shaddow stay on longer

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good good for oily lids, smooth also just trying to get some points:)
