Affordable Drugstore Eyeshadow Primer

It goes without saying that my all-time favorite eyeshadow primer is the Urban Decay brand. But of course this brand is not yet available in the Philippines (only through online sellers), and we are always on the look out for affordable products. 

Here are my 2 recommended drugstore brands of eyeshadow primer that are available in the Philippines:

1. Etude Proof 10 Eyeshadow Primer   
This eyeshadow primer lasts long  because
a) It does not dry out too fast
and
b) It actually contains a lot inside that you can really use it for long. The box indicates that it has 10g.

This product is sold for only PhP 298 at etude shops, SM Malls, and the Landmark. If you are going to apply this, make sure you do not apply it on top of foundation or creamy concealer, or else you will experience some caking. Pay close attention to how you apply it on the outer sides of your eyes. This where the primer and the foundation usually meet and it can look patchy. I have to mention that I personally do not put foundation on my eyelids. I just put a primer from my eyelids up to my eyebrows and then put the eyebrow products and eyeshadows next. The foundation and concealers only touch my under eye parts, never on my lids. I don't know but my eyeshadows last longer that way. Maybe because I have oily skin on my eyelids.
It has a doe-foot applicator.

2. e.l.f. Essential Shadow Lock Eyelid Primer
I like this because it is a good product for only PhP 199.75 per tube. The problem is this product is always out of stock in SM Malls and the Landmark, I ended up testing Etude's product. 

Sorry for the worn-out bottle mark! As you can see, I have used it a lot!


What I noticed about this product is that it dries pretty fast, so make sure you have your fingers are ready to tap once you apply it. I do not recommend using a brush as it may only dry up within the fibers of your brush.


Any other affordable eyeprimer recommendations that are available in the PHL? Let me know by posting a comment below! I have checked L'oreal, Maybelline, Revlon, and many other brands but they do not carry eyeshadow primers here, so I am really glad that Etude always has its product on stock just when I need to repurchase :)
