Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 423.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Use A Different Brush To Blend I used this a couple times with just the applicator that the product comes with and didn’t get great results. But my last application I dotted the product on my lids, then blended it to a much thinner layer with a different eyeshadow brush and the end result was much better. It didn’t show through my eye makeup and stayed on all night till the next morning. Not the best primer I’ve ever tried but amazing for the price!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Chunky and dry I was so excited to prime my eyelids with something else than concealer, i thought it would make my eyeshadow look smooth. However, it came out dry and chunky, didn't slide well on my skin and didn't make my e.l.f. eyeshadow last longer. I love other e.l.f. products but this one is a big no from me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this! I have quite oily eyelids and have always had the problem of creating an eye look only to have it crease and ruin within an hour. I tried this and my eyeshadow doesn't budge, no creasing! As the instructions said, I left the primer to dry first (a few minutes), blended it in a little and I used both powder and liquid eyeshadows on my first time trying this and the look lasted for hours. Would definitely recommend, very happy with the price too.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Dried out! I received this product a few days ago and I tried it out for the first time last night. It was dried OUT. It was so chalky and lumpy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Okay-ish? I have the product in "Sheer." This was my very first eyelid primer and using it, I didn't see much difference between using it and not using it, especially in terms of longevity. The product is unfortunately a little too oily and slimy and you have to go in with eyeshadow at the right moment when it's not too wet. I was excited because it's one of the most inexpensive eyelid primer out there, but after using others at a bit higher price, I did see what an eyeshadow primer should do and they do last long, so it may be worth it to invest in a little more expensive or even different drugstore ones, including other ELF ones. Even though the product is not stellar, I still want to use it up but wit how hard the bottle (including the neck) and the wand are, it's quite hard to swirl around for more product once you use up whatever is in direct reach. All in all, rather disappointing.

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
