So my younger sister had been telling me that she needed an eyeshadow primer and was wondering which one to get. I scouted around but the cost of an eyeshadow primer was way above her price point. Till I realized, hey! She can use something else! And that is what this post is all about.
A great dupe for an eyeshadow primer in my opinion is the NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Pencil in Milk. This pencil is so versatile, it can be used as a primer, an eyeliner, and it can even be used when trying to create an ombre lipstick!
The qualities I believe a great eyeshadow primer should possess are that it should be lightly colored to be able to give a true representation of the color of eyeshadow to be applied (this would differ in the case of when creating a black or very dark smokey eye, you would need a primer or a product with a dark color) and should have a creamy consistency that is of a matte texture/finish.
Watch me prove this in the video below (the eyeshadow dupe point that is!)
