I’ll make my update post some other time. I guess WordPress doesn’t feel like being nice, and deletes my post and replacing it with a picture and draft is saved with just the picture….?! GAH! So yeah. I’m making a Versus! Post! In my Hard Candy post, I said that the eye primer isn’t my favorite, and said it wasn’t very good. I tried it out again, with an Eye Primer Brush this time around, and then it worked awesome!! I didn’t give it enough credit, and I feel bad for bashing it. I really do like it, and use it every day! Anyways, I got a little sampley doodly of the Best Selling Most Popular Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion (wow that was a lot of caps lock haha!)
Anyways, let the Battle begin!!!
Let’s start with an un-makeup-ified face!!! AUUUGH HIDEOUS!!! Okay, not that bad, but I do look pretty gross haha….
And yes, my hair is magenta and red and purple and bubblegum pink and... Yeah.
Clickies for bigguns
Blank un-primed eyes
Frowny fayce!
The products!
Primed and plain, the side where the primer is, is the eye I applied it on. So right eye, Urban Decay and left eye, Hard Candy (although the camera mirrored it weird so it doesn't appear that way, haha)
More frowny fayce time! They both blend into my skin really well, and don;t change the ‘color’ (I guess) of my skin tone at all, the e.l.f one I was so in love with before always made it lighter and weird… Haaah…
I used all but the brown on this side of the palette on my eyes. I see no difference in brightness (and of course these photos do no justice at all) the Urban Decay made the Shimmery side of this eyeshadow stand out a little more than the Hard Candy did with it. Hard candy did look a little Darker though(more matte, I suppose)
No difference in how the eyeliner looked or felt. These are the ones I used. Perversion Kohl liner for my Waterline, and Sabbath Liquid liner for my lid.
Yay my eyemake-up is done! Smiles~ Do you see any difference between the two?? I don't see much...
Playing with my hair.... Oh those bags!!! Eeeek!
Then a whole day of running around doing errands, work, more errands, moving stuff, and even more errands from 5:30am until 11:00pm.
I have normal-oily eyelids, if that helps anyone.
Bah baaaahh baaaaa!
(sorry it’s dark, but it’a late!)
Ummm, this one was brighter, but not as up-close.
The Hard candy just had the slightest hint of creasing, just barely there. And the pigment was a little less there, but not very noticeable. It did make the eyeliner a little shiny and hard looking, but no sign of breaks or cracks in the eyeliner! Yay! As for Urban Decay….
(it's hard for me not to look like a reject when I'm closing my eyes LOL) less bright but closer picture anyway.
No creasing at all, or any signs of it. But strangely it seems as if it moved some of my makeup around? Like, blended it more or something. Hahahaha!!! The colour pigment was a little faded, like the Hard Candy eye, but not by much. Not too shiny/hard looking on the eyeliner which is great~ (> v<)/ I do however put the primers below my eye too, (because i create shadow/highlights there etc) and it seemed to get more oily on the Urban Decay under eye, than the Hard Candy under eye. Weird, haha!
Well let’s give some hearts shall we??
Hard Candy
Feel ❤❤❤❤❤ It was creamy and easy to blend in, and not sticky or tacky at all! (I tried out Too Faced and felt icky sticky yucky! So this is really nice!
Lasting ❤❤❤❤ It lasted me really all day into night, and there wasn’t any problems with it that anyone else would notice anyway! It lasts pretty good for staying almost 18 hours!
Oil Control ❤❤❤❤ This did really awesome for oil control and stayed pretty matte besides the light creasing. The ‘Under-Lid’ did not crease at all, and there was very little fading. It did come off on my hand when I rubbed it though.
Price Point ❤❤❤❤❤!! They used to sell a big bottle of this primer for $6 (I’d say it has about 1 fl. oz) but strangely I think they stopped selling it in the big set, since it was un-popular with many people.
Over All Rating ❤❤❤.9 almost 4 hearts
Additional notes, many people say they got horrible creasing from this primer. I had the same problem in the beginning. I used a little more than you think you should use, and just keep blending into my skin. It works a lot better for me that way. I hope some out there give it another chance!
Urban Decay
Feel ❤❤❤❤.5 I like the feel of this primer as well, although it is a little more firm than the Hard Candy. It’s just as blend-able and creamy, and also not sticky/tacky. Yay~
Lasting ❤❤❤❤❤ No colour fade, or creasing (besides the underlid) it looked great from 5am to 11pm, did not change the vibrancy of my eyeshadow at all (as in making it more noticeable or more dull, it goes both ways. 😛 ) I may want to try the other ‘shades’ of this primer for that.
Oil Control ❤❤❤ Umm, so I did really well with not rubbing my eyes so that I didn’t compromise the battle. But I looked at the Urban Decay side, and you know how it looks like if you rub that eye, eyeshadow is going to come right on your hand and get every where else… Well Thats how it looked. I rubbed it later, and it didn’t end up coming off, but just mixing and smearing all over my eye. HAH oh well. (The Hard Candy didn’t look like so, but it did end up coming off on my hand when I rubbed)
Price Point ❤❤❤ (I’m really in between giving it a two, or a three…) It is probably worth it enough to give it a three. But it’s really expensive for $19 and getting 10ml– They did just recently change it to 11ml, but they also upped it a dollar to $20. 😛 It’s pretty expensive!! I don’t have to use as much as I do with Hard Candy though.
Overall Rating ❤❤❤❤ .3 hearts
This is the most ranted and raved about primer, with Too Faced Primers coming up right behind it. Everyone will say they loved this primer, and I’m no different, I like this primer a lot as well! I think I will try some other primers before I make this my sole ‘solid’ primer.
Well, I think this was a certainly different opinion than most people have out there, so I guess I’m not helping the most indecisive people, huh? Well I hope this was somewhat enjoyable… (>////<); Have a great evening!! I also have a video VERSUS! Battle! coming up too! :3 Please look forward to it~
