Great quality and very versatile
When I first opened it, I was already impressed with the packaging; the bottle looks and feels very high quality. I bought the twinkling taupe one with the intention of adding a bit of shimmer to my eye makeup from time to time. I automatically fell in love with the formula and color. Just a little bit of product gives an amazing shimmer, so you can definitely use this for various looks depending on how much you use. I bought this with the new Holy Smokes palette and I think the two products go great together! I will definitely be buying the gold primer too :) I noticed in the question section, someone asked if you could see glitter flecks; with the taupe one, you can definitely see glitter flecks, but they are very small. Personally, I don't mind them, but you are looking for purely shimmer, I would think twice about this buying this.

I tried this product out for just a couple days and have experienced an allergic reaction to it. I have NEVER ever had an allergic reaction to makeup before and I have tried a ton of new products from all sorts of brands. I use a lot of ELF makeup as well and never had reactions... this product has made my eyelids swollen and red and itchy. I am on day 3 of swollen eyes and not wearing makeup to help relieve the reaction. I am not sure what ingredient in this product would cause such a reaction but I would not recommend to anyone who has any sensitivity.... or anyone at all. I never write reviews and I do love a lot of elf products but this one really did not agree with me.

Amazing Primer!
I got this a month ago and the only color left was silver, but after seeing a review I thought I'll give it a try. I was NOT disappointed!. I was worried it might beed through gold colors, but it didn't. There is a slight shimmer when applied, but it holds the eye shadow all day! It's lightweight, easy to apply, and does the job! Whatever shade you get, this is a great base primer.

Love it so far!
In my experience Elf products dry out quickly. I've only used this once. Just bought less than 2 weeks ago. It went on smoothly and looks great alone! I put eyeshadow on top and it made my eyes "pop"! It also lasted all day which is rare for most products! If this doesn't dry out too quickly I will definitely buy more!!!

Hmmm
So I purchased the Twinkling Taupe and as soon as I got it I started playing around with it. At first I wasn't so crazy about it, it looked beautiful on its own but when I put some eye shadow over it, it looked blotchy and creasey. I was pretty sure it was user-error so I tried it the next day for work with some beautiful brown, neutral tone shades and I thought it made my eye shadow look stunning! The eye shadows I used have a very subtle shimmer but this made it super shimmery and really brightened my eyes! Best part was my eye shadow didn't crease up and stayed beautiful and bright all day!!

Twinkling Taupe
I love this primer. It is the perfect shade and it does make my shadows shimmery, and for the shimmery shadows - metallic. I love this. Thank you so much, elf.

Pleased I Purchased!
My daily go-to eye shadow is the Aqua Beauty Molten Liquid in Rose Gold but this one sounded worth trying. I ordered the color "Twinkling Taupe" and wore it yesterday and I am in love. I wore it alone (as the product description said you could do) and layered it in the center for more color pop and it did not budge all day. It gave me the exact look I was going for, a soft, frosty wash of color, dewy and natural. I have not tried it to transform regular eye shadow, I doubt I will as I love the look I achieved wearing it alone and really only wear the above-mentioned Molten Liquid shadows which are already shimmery on their own. This particular color is just gorgeous, a mauve/lilac/taupe with a soft glitter effect. Mostly I noticed a frosty shimmer that was soft and subtle. If you like soft shimmery shades, give this color a try!

Does this leave a shimmer, or can you see the glittery flecks?

I have never used an primer, but I am interested - so you put eye shadow on first then the primer ?

Primer first before the eyeshadow. :) Primers are good because it helps your eyeshadow last longer and gives you a good color pay off from the eyeshadow
