Their Original Eyeshadow Potion might not look like much, but it provides smooth, even coverage that lasts for hours. A little goes a long way, and in spite of the little bottle it comes in, this primer will last you for months, even with daily wear. Spread a thin, even layer across your lid then use your finger to smooth it beneath your lower lash line and wait for a couple minutes. The formula dries clear, then is ready for you to apply your perfect look. Rock the runway with eyeshadow that’s guaranteed to stay in place all day long.

When a little is more than enough, you want to be in control. Just use the tip of your finger to spread on a thin layer, wait 30 seconds, and you are ready to put on a look that’ll turn heads everywhere you go. Hold on to your color, eyeshadow, you’re not going anywhere.
