Best primer. Period. I have tried Too Faced Eyeshadow Insurance (another good one, no doubt), but it still doesn't hold a candle to Urban Decay. It's a shame that I can't use Urban Decay eyeshadow with this product (as I feel that their eyeshadow is a bit sub-par), but this works great for many other eyeshadows. I love using this with L'Oreal's High Intensity Pigments line. This truly makes shadows POP!

The Crystal Shadow Dup is the one shadow finish from L'Oreal's High Intensity Pigments line that I'm not all that crazy about, and it's only because of the mess. I have the purple/cream color combo and the purple stay nicely in its palette, but the cream color goes all over the place. One rough swipe with my brush and product ends up all over my vanity. Luckily I don't use the cream color all that often, but it's annoying to have to clean up after using this particular shadow duo. That said, I still love the brightness of the colors, and still swear by the High Intensity Pigments line by L'Oreal. This is my go-to for eyeshadows, and I especially love it when my local CVS has these on sale at buy one get one half off. I usually wait to purchase new shades when they have these sales going on. ;)

I use the quad pictured above to create the perfect "Old Hollywood" look. What I especially love about the color is that you don't need to put on a ton of product for it to look good and last all day. I bought this eyeshadow over a year ago (I know, I know... eyeshadow only keep for about 3 months!) and even though I wear the "Old Hollywood" look quite often, I still wear it to this day and have plenty of product left.

I have been using the silver/black combo for years to create my signature smokey eye look. One thing to note: a little will go a VERY long way with the silver! Use too much and you may end up looking like some type of 60's space alien. That being said, when you do apply the makeup correctly, it's very stunning indeed!

I can't sing my praises enough for these eyeshadows. They go on nice and smooth and wear all day. They are as pigmented as MAC's shadow pots, but don't create a mess all over the place. You really get your money's worth, and then some!

I've tried all kinds of eyeshadows, from super cheap all the way to why-would-I-actually-pay-60-dollars-for-a-four-pallete-eyeshadow and this is one of the best eyeshadow lines I've tried. The color is intense even when you are not using a primer, but for those days when you really want your eyes to pop, pair this with Urban Decay's primer potion and it will do the trick very nicely. It's highly pigmented and glides on very smoothly. You don't need much product to achieve a truly stunning look. Excellent for creating the perfect smoky eye.

Compared to the fuller Bare Escentuals brushes, this is definitely a winner. The bristles don't come off and this works exactly as advertised! I was a little skeptical at first when I was told that I didn't need to purchase extra concealer, but after using this for a few weeks, I've become a believer!

I love that I can add and add as much coverage as I need. It starts off sheer, which I love for an everyday look. If I add a few more layers, I am ready for a date night! No matter how much I build up the coverage, it's never really entirely noticeable. The boyfriend complemented me on my glowing skin the first time I tried this on. He told me that my face seemed smoother and that I almost had an airbrushed, natural look. When it comes to eye and lip makeup I'm all about bold, firey, what have you, but when it comes to my foundation, I love looking more natural and not so "cakey." As far as wearing this on my face, I definitely give this 10 stars. HOWEVER, because the powder tends to get all over the place, I’ve taken off two stars. It’s entirely too easy to waste product all over your makeup application space.

The Warmth shades adds just the right amount of bronzer to make your skin look like it's glowing!

I do like this primer. It's not as silky as Smashbox Photofinish Primer, but it's still great at priming my skin for mineral foundation.
