Last week I was chatting with a friend and I found myself distracted by her eye makeup because it was creasing and seemed to be sliding off of her eyelids and it was only 10 am!

I introduced her to eye primers.  An eye primer is a must for every woman wearing makeup.   A primer coats the eyelid in a foundation-like product that locks-in any shadow or liner put on top of it.  I highly recommend MAC’s Prep and Prime Eye or the MAC Paint Pots.  MAC calls the Prep and Prime Eye “an undercoat to eye makeup”.

I use a primer daily and so do many of my clients because once you use it you can’t imagine life without it.  Use it under any makeup you wear to ensure it stays in place for hours.   The product sticks and stays in place whether you want a light coating of shadow or an intense pop of pigment.  -Meredith
