Can liquid foundation work as a primer for the eyes?

    Or is that not good? By the way, I use Trublend.
    Also, if that isn't a good idea, are there any good drugstore primers?
    Thank you :]

    Yes but it depends on which one??? Sometimes primers can be expensive, so here's some ingredients to look for when looking for a foundation to prime your eyes with. Silica or silicone will smooth the eye area making it appear even when applying the eyeshadow one. Also Talc or cornstarch which will absorb excess oil and beeswax. Beeswax will make the eyeshadow stick longer without the goopy feeling that other synthetic waxes tend to feel like. And lastly pick a foundation a shade lighter to make your eyeshadow colors really pop. A great one I have been using is the Almay pure blends foundation. It works great. I hope that helps?

    Foundation isn't as good as an actual primer, but it'll do the job. Concealer works well too.

    Yes you can - revlon (which you can buy in drug stores) does a great primer i think its the beyond natural range.

    What i do is put my primer on over my eyelids then put my foundation on top of that so on the eye lids as well this combined will help eyeshadow/eyeliner etc stay on even better good luck!

  6. Well first of all if you are Asian, or have the same eye shape as Asians, than yes, most definitely. However, if you have ovular shaped eyes than, no I don't recommend it. Good Luck!!!

    Yeah why not, but it won't be as good as an eyelid primer, but it still gets the job done :)
