Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 405.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Creasing Purchased along side other elf lid primers and unfortunately this was not a pass for me. It ended up creasing within a couple hours.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Prevents creasing and settling into fine lines I first bought this years ago in sheer (when it was only $2) and was pleased that it so effectively prevented my eye shadow from creasing. It's been the only eye shadow primer I use and will continue to repurchase. It's not that pigmented and doesn't cover eyelid veins too much, but that's ok with me. Lately, as I've started developing slight wrinkles on my forehead, I put a light layer of this primer directly onto my wrinkles before foundation and it prevents my foundation from settling into my lines. It works so well that I would recommend others to try using this primer for wrinkles too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It's Good This is the only primer I've ever used and I've never had a problem with it. I wish it held a little more product, but besides that it's great for the price

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing I have pretty oily eyelids, so I wasnt expecting much; however, I am very pleasantly surprised by this product! There has been no fallout and my eyeshadow has stayed intact for over 12 hours now with no creasing. The eyeshadow looks the exact same as when I put it on (it was a loose powder). Formula is easy to apply and is not goopy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Gets the job done I was in the market for a white primer so I got this one. It works well and I love how I can use the wand to apply the product instead of my finger or beauty blender, the only con is that it holds little product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from It’s not a game changer, but it’s still good! I think this is worth the price, if you’re just looking for something simple. I’m just starting to try out makeup, and I use this every time I do eyeshadow, but when it runs out, I think I’ll stick to using my concealer as an eye primer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great staying power This is the first time I've used a primer for eyes and normally my shadow creases, with this primer for the first time my eye makeup stayed in place all day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Use Alone Without Shadow For A Natural Bright Eye I have slightly hooded eyes and am always on the look out for a product that will open them up and brighten them. I originally used the Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer in color Sheer underneath my eyeshadows. The primer is easy to apply with the wand and I dot my lids and blend with my pinky to get a natural background before I put on eyeshadow. The color stays true for about 6 hours with minimal creasing. I usually start creasing within 3 hours so I was happy with this result. One day, I was in a rush to get ready and just dabbed some of the primer without putting on any eyeshadow and someone complimented me and said my eyes looked so bright. Now I frequently just wear the primer alone for a natural bright eye look.

Does this primer hide creepiness in eyes over 60?

Asked by: Beeb
I'm 63 yrs. old & have been using this product in sheer for years. I find that it helps hide crepey skin on lids by evening out the skin tone. Sheer is a flat, matte light beige. It hides discolorations & makes the eye shadow color pop.

Do any of the shads tint your eyelid?

Asked by: helen366
The sheer is a matte, light beige. I find that it lightens & brightens the eyelids by evening out any discoloration. It does not change the color of your eye shadow.

Is this primer goes on matte or shimmery? I read some reviews that says glittery, so I want to ask people who has used it before: does it look glittery after it is dried?

Asked by: cathy45
The sheer is matte -- no shimmer at all.

Is the Pearl shade white or translucent?

Asked by: Juls28
white with a ***sheen***. It's NOT glitter...idk why everyone keeps saying it is lol

what is the purpose of the difference in the colors?

Asked by: YAMAKEUPGURL
I'm assuming the different shades are meant for different skin tones. Sheer, tan, and cocoa are probably for light, medium, and darker skin tones and meant to be used as a primer base that would match the skin, probably good for lighter more natural eyeshadows and the pearl which is white would help to make other more unnatural colors pop but pearl could also be used for all colors of course. But some people may want to use a primer that matches their skin
