Happy Easter Everyone!
So for a really long time I did my makeup without any kind of primer, be that on my face or my eyes. However the more I have delved into the world of makeup and blogging the more curious I have become about new products and also the more educated I have become about them. In my opinion eyeshadow primer is a lot more important and worthwhile than foundation primer, I think I just see more of a difference after using it on my eyes than I do on my face. And ever since I have started using eyeshadow primer I have seen such a difference in the colour payoff and longevity of the products no matter what the quality of the eyeshadow.

Now primers can be pricey and to get one that works you kind of do need to spend a little money. I'm still new to the game and I haven't really splurged on anything yet as I want to exhaust the cheaper possibilities before I do and I have found one that really sticks out.
Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in Creme De Nude, this is from the creamy matte line of this product therefore makes for the perfect base. The colour is fairly natural, whilst still being opaque enough to cover any discolouration. One thing I will say about the colour is that on my fair skin it does come up a tad orange-toned and this can slightly alter any lighter shadows put on top, however this isn't a massive deal breaker as it's not hugely noticeable once the whole eye look is finished; after all this isn't intended to be a eyeshadow base, so you can't blame the product/brand.
I find that when I use this underneath an eyeshadow look the colours are a lot more pigmented and stay so much longer, and I'm talking hours. As well as this they stay put until they are taken off, no smudging or dropping to the lower lash line.
This stuff is brilliant and I would seriously recommend it to anyone starting out in makeup or even someone whose just looking for an affordable alternative to an eyeshadow primer. It's definitely something I reach for a lot when I want a look that will last.
