    For the price, I think the Essence primer is worth the savings! Any difference in the two seemed so minimal that I doubt anyone would notice at all. And with the $17 savings, imagine all the other fun, great inexpensive products you could try! Great experiment! It's good to know that there are worthwhile products out there for those of us who are struggling in these grim economic times.

    I agree 100% with you, the essence seemed to take the pigmentation to another level and for the money that is truly impressive. I love the essence princess mascara, I rarely use anything else. I am finding that essence are a fantastic choice with some products. Will be grabbing some of that eyeshadow primer for myself 😁 thank you so much for the video Angels, great job as always ❤

    Hi ! Thank you for comparing these two eyeshadow primers. The presence of oil in the Essence primer explains why the shade looks more intense - however, the presence of oil increases the likelihood of creasing (on someone who has oily lids). I have semi-oily and hooded lids and my favorite primer is the ABH - the bone tint lightens my lids to create an even canvas, and I get no creasing after 12 hours. I am most likely to try the Rare Beauty primer.

    • @angelaabright

    I’ve been sticking to the fenty primer bc it has an almost firming effect on my mature eyelids. I just have to remember to relax my kids as it dries. I wonder if the rare beauty primer does the same. As far as these 2 I like the fact that the rare beauty leans cool. I have fair olive toned skin and tamping down the warmth helps. I wonder if the rare beauty one would make cool toned eyeshadow more vibrant.

    I do hope the Essence primer is available in Europe. Essence had a different eyeshadow primer that they discontinued a long time ago and it was the best one I ever used. You did have to set is with a powder or skin toned eyeshadow to blend the colors better. But it preformed way better than any high end primer. Can't wait to get my hand on this Essence one!!

    I currently own the Essence primer, and have tested it out a few times. I found that it did crease on my lid, but only in the fold area and left a bit of balding there. Below the crease and above the crease to brow bone it looked fine. What I liked was the consistency was different from other eye primers I've used. The fact it goes on like a serum/lotion and dries down clear is very nice ! However it just didn't perform as well as I had hoped it would. Never tried Rare Beauty yet but would like to ! Thank You for your video reviewing both primers !

    The rare beauty primer gives a much smoother and nicely finished look... the Essence side looks splotchy, although more pigmented. Looking at each side, it feels like the essence side needs to be removed and redone to match the smooth eye. 🙂

      Concealer just makes shadow slip and slide around on my eyes. IMO, stay with pure eyelid primer. For pigmented, Profusion (WalMart) and Jason Wu (Target) both have good ones, though they both need to be set with either
      matte powdered shadow or translucent pressed powder. For just a matte finish without added pigment, try Milani. I also liked Wet N Wild's Photo Focus before they killed it then brought it back as MegaLast. You might try it under its new name - it's at the top of my list once I use up one of the ones I'm working with now.

    The Rare Beauty side looks smoother overall and darker because of double dipping the eyeshadow. The Essence side seems more intense and splotchy, but is it because the eyeshadow is not as blown out as the other side? Either way, you'd be hard-pressed not to want to save that $17.00 💜💜💜

Back to the doc. I then read some of the reviews that others have reported severe reactions. It has citrus and sunflower oil. I can only assume that’s the cause I’d the irritation. Returned to Ulta.
