Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer Review




Product Details:

Your full-coverage insurance policy against eye shadow fading, creasing, and melting. Our silicone-based eyeshadow primer transforms any eye shadow into a perfectly blendable, color-drenched, intensified version of itself, then locks it down perfectly until you take it off. Our skin soothing formula evens out the skin tone on your lids and smoothes out lines while it secures a barrier between the oils of your skin and your makeup, so no shadow catastrophes will ever happen again.
Apply to clean, dry, lids using your finger.
A little goes a long way, the product will blend in without being visible.
Create shadow intensity for smoky eyes by placing Shadow Insurance on lids only, wait 30 seconds, then apply shadow.

Vitamin E - Conditions, soothes and calms the delicate eye area.
Unique Binders - Volatiles lock down eye shadow pigments for amazingly long wear.
Tocopherol - Anti-aging, antioxidant moisturizer.
Versatility Galore - Use with powder or cream eye shadow products.
Reliable Beauty - Anti-creasing formula holds eye products in place.
Concentrated - The size of a rain drop covers the entire lid.


Thoughts:

Although I don't care for the price it is $18.00 plus tax per tube.. I am going to recommend this as a must have product... I had my makeup on for over 15 hours and at the end of the day it looked as fresh as when I put it on in the morning... I like the packaging as it is a tube so nothing can get wasted...


Grade:

A+
