Review: Essence I ❤ Colour Intensifying Primer

Eye Primer locks your eye shadows and liners into place leaving them more resistant to smudging, creasing and fading. It creates an even base to apply eye make up on top of. So essential to me that if I didn't have it I'd avoid wearing eye make up altogether.

And the good news is you don't have to spend a ton to find a great one anymore. There's one for every budget imaginable.

I explored some of the drugstore options out there and Essence's Colour Intensifying Primer kept catching my eye. I kept talking myself out of buying this because I thought its cheap price tag would mean it wouldn't perform very well.




 

Oh how I take it all back.

Upon first use I fell in love with its slightly thick and tacky formula. A tacky formula is a GOOD thing in the world of priming. A tacky base will allow your eye make up to cling to your lids for longer.

The writing on the packaging does fade after this has been in your bag and hands a few times but it's what inside that counts here, right?


Repeated use afterward revealed how well this performs. I got through at least 8/9 hours before I saw
only a hint of creasing in my eye shadow and my eyeliner hadn't budged even a little bit! Not half bad for only £2.50.

You can purchase Essence (who are cruelty free and most of their products are vegan!) at Wilkinsons.
