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!
