Vaseline as eye primer


Ever since recovering ideas that I once read on Nessa's blog a few yrs ago I quickly handled one of her ideas on how she considered using Vaseline as a moisturizer for her eyelids. As soon as I read that I had to try it out for myself, only to soon love the idea so I went with it....I've discovered not only is Vaseline a great Moisturizer for the eye but it is also a great eye primer to make shadows pop with color!

1st. Apply lightly is key :) Smooth it on and wait for it to dry a bit. Then you can apply your color....

Here are examples of usage:

 
on the left I applied a dark blue shadow from my Balm palette with an eyeshadow brush by ELF minus the Vaseline. On the right I applied the Vaseline then the same dark blue shadow.

I can get away with wearing the Vaseline primer for just a few hours since it doesn't really prevent creasing....

Which is your favorite eye primer?
