   I really don’t like this eye primer. The consistency is a big one for me which I never thought I’d be complaining about. This stuff is very moussey but dry and crumbles out of the tube if you aren’t careful about catching it on a brush or finger. This primer does nothing for the longevity of my eyeshadow and goes on sheer. No coverage on the eyelid.

   Pretty good primer to make your eyeshadow last! It barely gives off any colour and is super easy to apply ( I use my fingers :)!) This is a pricey primer though and I only use it because I got it for free from Sephora.

   One of the best eye primers that I’ve tried. Keeps my eyeshadow (whether cream or powder) in place the whole day, with zero creasing. I have very oily lids and find most primers don’t work for me – this is a rare exception! Just be sure to use only a very small amount and make sure it’s 100% dry before applying eyeshadow (something I failed to do the first time!). And despite how well it keeps eyeshadow on, it is also super-easy to remove at the end of the day! Admittedly it’s one of the pricier primers in my collection, but totally worth it, especially as so little product is needed. A word of caution though – it is silicone heavy so if you’re anything like me (sensitive, breakout prone) then you’ll want to use this on special occasions and not on a daily basis.

   This eye primer is great. You don’t need very much, a tiny bit goes a long way. It also doesn’t severely dehydrate my eyelids to the point that they look wrinkly. It keeps my eyeshadows on for the entire day 🙂

   For me, this is the best primer. NARS and Urban Decay did not work as well as 24 hour does. I put a very small amount on my ring finger tip. Rub the two ring fingers together and apply to my eyes from lash line into my eyebrows. This keeps my eyeshadow and eyebrow color looking good all day. Seeing the other reviews shows how diffferent we all are. Whenever possible, get a sample of any product before you purchase it.

   Hands down the best primer for oily lids. This is the only thing that can keep my eye shadow on point.

   Good, but the product has such a thick consistency and comes out from the tube quite difficult. Αs a result, the seam of the package opened and all the product was wasted and ended up to the bin. I putted the cream in an empty MAC Paint Pot jar, but it dried up.

   My holy grail shadow primer.

   I do my foundation, then apply a microscopic dab to the top of my lids. I wait 8 seconds until dry, and begin to apply my shadow. Offers creaseless, perfect application of shadow, and shadow stays all day! A little bit goes a LONG way, so be sure to not use too much.

   The best primer I have used thus far! Highly suggest.

   This has become my holy grail eye shadow primer, because I have yet to find anything else that holds up to my oily eyelids!
   It goes on pretty smooth leaving a clear residue.
   It holds my shadow very well throughout the day and does not crease on my eyes!
   It does dry out a little bit near the end of the day, around 7+ hours, but not cakey. Hard to explain, it doesn’t separate but goes more toward a matte/powder finish by then.

    I purchased the 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer in a kit when it was first released. I have used 80% of this product and I have finally decided that I won’t be finishing the tube. To preface, my lids are oily with fine lines and a hood. I have to wear primers or my eyeshadow won’t stay on and I have tried a lot.

    The GOOD: Initially I really loved this primer because of the consistency. I didn’t really think it would be great for wear because of the creamy consistency and thick texture; however, I was particularly excited to notice my eyeshadow didn’t wear badly.

    The BAD: I really thought the creamy texture of this eyeshadow would have an effect on the texture of the skin on my eyes but I didn’t notice any improvement or change.

    The UGLY: I started to notice that this primer would settle and build up around even the finest of lines. The cream eyeshadow I use on my upper, least tragic part of my eye, even looks disgusting and veined out.

    The Bottom Line: I think the Milani and Wet ‘N Wild had similar effects but were worst on my eyes. I wish this had made my eyeshadow look better because I liked how it felt like it should be more beneficial then other products.
