Eyeshadow primers are something that I've only really gotten into in the last six months or so. I never really saw the point until I discovered the NARS Smudge Proof Shadow Base. I got it free with my And God Created the Woman Palette, and instantly fell in love. The price however, not so enticing, at £19, it's not cheap, and I don't find it lasts all that long either. I ended up on the hunt for something similar with a not so similar price tag, when I came across the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Eye Primer. With a £5 price tag, it's definitely more budget friendly by any means.
In terms of formula, they're almost identical. They're both long tubes with doe-foot applicators, the primer is a satin finish formula and it applies transparent, so it has no effect on the colour of your shadows. You need the tiniest amount and they set pretty quick, leaving your lids feeling soft and even. There's not much to say about them really other than the fact they really are identical, and when I use either of these my eyeshadow won't smudge, fade, crease, or fall under my eyes at all.
Simple and to the point this one, but they're literally identical, and I might be able to babble about beauty all day, but how much can you say about an eye primer?
Have you tried either of these?
