Being a busy girl in school and sports along with trying to wear makeup is nothing short of a HUGE dilemma. It is not so much the time that it takes for me to play and look my best when wearing makeup; it is trying to make it look like I still have my face on at lunch time.

I know I should have just asked my Mom, but I did a bit of research myself and found out that I need to bring primers into my life. So with that, I finally asked Mom what to try first. She pointed me to Urban Decay and the Primer Potions, of which there are 3. Of which, all are for me!

These primers are like genies in a bottle. Yes, the bottle represents that, I know, but it is so true. Once applied, eye shadow adheres to the potion which makes shadow stay in place on the eyelids all day long.To quote the brand on this thought, "The genie in these bottles fulfills three wishes: eye shadow that lasts, more vibrant and lasting color, and absolutely NO creasing."

I said that there were 3 Primer Potions, and they all work the same but just look a little bit different on the eye. The original one is pretty nude in color and virtually disappears on the eyelid after it dries. Then there are the two lightly shaded Primer Potions. There is Sin, which is more of a champagne color that has a bit or pearlessence to it. It is very pretty on it's own and it makes the perfect base for a color that needs a little softness added in. I like Sin especially with the new Urban Decay Stardust Eye shadow. The newest Primer Potion is Eden. Eden is a very soft muted brown color. This one probably evens out my skin tone on my eyelid the most as I have a bit of a tan and this just makes it look better to begin with. This version does not have as much of a sheen to it, it is just your basic shaded base.

If you want to try them, you can check them out in person at Sephora or buy them on the web at UrbanDecay.com.

I also spotted a great primer set that I am going to have my Mom get for me to try out more of the Urban Decay primers. The kit is called Box of Potions and beside the Primer Potion, it has smaller sizes of their Eyelash Primer, Lip Primer and Face Primer (Complexion Primer, as they call it).

Tell me if you have used any of these. Is the Box of Potions what you think I should get next to try in trying to get the rest of makeup to last all day?
