Hi, girls!
Today I'll talk about Rimmel London Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, purchased from Fragrance Direct and which I was very curious to try out. This eye primer wasn't released in Romania or at least I haven't seen it at all. I'm loving most of my Rimmel London's beauty items I have so I had high expectations for this primer which sadly let me down. Badly!
First things first, let's talk packaging. It's very pretty, stark white with doe foot applicator and orange cap. I mean it looks good and makes you thing that this is definitely good stuff.
Unlike my other primers, this one is white with tiny little sparkles which gives a very beuatiful luminozity to your eyes. Unfortunately, it doesn't do what it should do because it creases like hell on my eyelids in about an hour after I put my makeup on. And I don't even have extremely oily lids. Hell, my eyeshadows don't crease that much on their own, it's this primer that crease them!
I really, really wanted to like it and make it work, so I even waited for 5 minutes after applying it before putting the eyeshadows to insure it dried out. No use, it's pointless!
I mean, it's such a waste because it could have been a great product. Just look how intense and vibrant the eyeshadow looks on top of it. There isn't much more to say, as unfortunately this primer doesn't do its job right. I'm not saying it won't work for you, but if you have even slightly oily lids then I wouldn't reccomand it as it does more wrong than good. Sorry Rimmel London, this primer is a total miss!
Love at first brush
