Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer
Let's get ready to rummmmble! Eye shadow primer is a essentially a life necessity for me. Without it, my eye shadow is sure to crease within the hour. That's the life of hooded eyes! For this product review on Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer,  I'm putting it to the test against my holy grail shadow primer - Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance.

Facts about my eyes:
Size: Medium
Shape: Almond
Color: Brown
Type: Hooded (and I mean hooooded)

The Product: Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer - Review ($8 CDN)

The primer itself comes in tube with an applicator much like a concealer. The product itself is a while color - which helps intensify colors . The product has many claims - I put it to the test during a full work day at the office! The product itself is a bit grainy when you initially place the product on the skin - but leaves a smooth finish out after applying it on the lid.

The Results

I was hoping to find a more affordable alternative to Too Faced Eye Shadow insurance - but that wasn't the case. Rimmel's Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer did last for a few hours - but for me, for me that was it. Within 2-3 hours I started to see creasing with this product.

Below are the results after a full-day wear. If you don't have oily lids, this would be a descent primer to try - but if you are Oily City like me - skip this one! And if you're wondering - yes I walked around for hours with a creasy eye lids - on the things I'll do for product tests!
