Review: Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer & Lemon Drop Color Correcting Eyeshadow Primer

The packaging is very girly looking, in pastel colored squeezing tubes. I consider Too Faced to be in the high end beauty category so the packaging really reflects that. The tubes contain 11 g of product which is enough for almost an year of daily using, that's how long it'll last you as the tiniest amount on each eye will sufice.

I love the fact these come out in squeezing tubes as the is no contact with air or you don't have to put your hands inside, so that's hygienic. Moreover, you can actually take out almost everything that's inside which has always been a struggle with wand tube primers such as UDPD or ELF Eye Primer.

The dosage orifices are very tiny so that insures that only a small quantity will came out so there's no waste of product.



Now let's talk about the actual primer inside. I definitely won't sing an ode to eye primers and how they have revolutionized makeup over the years, making you eyeshadows say longer in place with no creasing, smudging or moving around, even though they are definitely worth one. As I was saying in the begining of this article, TFSI primers are really the best ones out there even for people with very oily lids. I for one don't have a huge problem with oily lids but there are many shadows that crease on me without a primer.

Even people with dry skin should use eye primer as it not only insures that eye makeup won't crease or fade throughout the day but it intensify the colors you put on and make your average looking eyeshadows pop on your eyes.

The Lemon Drop version has a very thin formula, it's light yellow and it blends out to almost nothing on the skin, it just leaves behind a refined shimmery sheen and a very smooth and velvety sensation. I also help with skintone correcting as it neutralizes any green/blue visible veins, discoloration, pigmentation or other small imperfections. After applying it, I only wait a minute before applying eyeshadows and not only they won't crease all day long, but also this works also as a base and make them a lot brighter and visible. The sheen it left behind doesn't interfere with the matte eyeshadows finish.

This will make my eye makeup stay in place for at least 10-12 hours but I wear it even longer and only minor creasing happened so for me this my holly grail eye primer ever.



The original one is little ticker in consistancy and it's skintone like. It doesn't leave behind a sheen as Lemon Drop but it covers pretty well any color imperfections you might have on your eyelids.

It lasts just as long as Lemon Drop, all day long, no creasing or smudging and it also intensify the eyeshadows. Between the two, I like Lemon Drop a little better as I feel it makes eyeshadows pop a little more than this one, but for me both are some awsome eye primers and I'll never be without them.



Here's a little demonstration with some dark eyeshadows (and chalky) on top of the two primers so see how they perform by intensifying the shades. It's clear that these primers bring out the best even of your worst formula eyeshadows.
