Review: Stila Prime Pot

I bought the Stila Prime Pot in Caramel beige for $20.What it is:A water-resistant eyeshadow primer that delivers flawless, creaseless eyeshadow wear all day and night.What it does:This innovative formula is crease-resistant and extends eyeshadow wear all day. When used as a base, Prime Pot's unique polymers adhere to eyeshadow and create impeccably smooth lids, keeping excess oil at bay. These lightweight matte eyeshadow primers are universally flattering for all skintones.Size: 0.14 ozMy thoughts: I have dry skin but VERY oily lids. I dont know why this is so..but whatever...Here are the primers that I have used in the past, and returned since they did not work for me:[1] Urban Decay Primer Potion Original ($18)[2]Too Faced Shadow Insurance ($18)[3] LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer

[4] NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base  ($24)The beauty of the Stila Prime Pot is that is not only primes the lid but also conceals the darkness and blue veins. The texture is quite similar to MAC Paint Pots (my favorite for a neutral look is the shade Layin Low, but it is limited edition). But Paint Pots WILL CREASE!! I typically set paint pot with a transluscent setting powder like these..Ben Nye'sMUFE HD Powder Too Faced Primed and PorelessPaint pot + setting powder works..see my detailed post on "how to conceal dark eyelids". But it takes so much time!! The solution is Stila Prime Pots. I am quite enjoying using this product. Will update again in a few weeks.Update: Hate to report that this product creased on me even after setting it with powder. I even tried it with Urban Decay Primer Potion etc. Sigh :(
