Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 434.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hands down the best way to prep your eyes This will be my go-to eye primer for the rest of my life. For $3 I expected the quality to be much less, but the first time I used it I was pleasantly surprised. This eyelid primer is fantastic. It has made my vibrant eyeshadow looks last at sweaty school dances, and in the laboratory where I am always wearing foggy goggles and producing moisture under my mask which travels up to my eyes. My foundation does not survive, but everything on my eyes stays put with no creasing or running. I have hooded eyelids that are always oily, and for years this primer has done the trick. It is everything you could want in an eyelid primer. Make sure to stock up!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Works well but can be drying Works well as far as providing a good base for eyeshadow. However, I have had issues with this product really drying out my skin, and makeup does not look good on dry, flakey skin. I always moisturize before using this and so far that seems to help. If my skin is already dry, I can't use this and I have to try a concealer instead.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product! I am really oily and this product has helped to keep my eyeshadow in place all day! So so happy. Will definitely be buying another when I run out!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Did not work for me. I think this formulation is not for me. It just kinda sat on my eyelid and did not help at all. The putty eye primer however worked for me so its probably just my old skin!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This has been my favorite for YEARS I bought Urban Decay's overpriced version of this years ago when Sephora was young and new, and then discovered THIS little gem.... and NEVER went back. It has never failed me! And now, with quarantine mask requirements, I've started wearing eye makeup again... and it STILL makes my eyeshadow last and NOT CREASE despite my additional wrinkles!!! Thank you, e.l.f.!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from IDK if it works I've been using this primer several times, but every time I use it i just can't notice a huge difference... It's like when I use concealer as primer. I can't feel the difference! But I was expecting something better bc its made to prime the lids!!

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 this primer waterproof?

Asked by: alkh
This is not waterproof, however it does increase the staying power of your eye product and avoids creasing.

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
