Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Primer Review, Swatches, Photos

The final product (for now) in my new Wet n Wild 2013 / Fergie Centerstage product extravaganza is the Fergie eye primer (which you can now buy online). I’ve actually had a chance to test this out some, so this will be a review, though I will be sure to update it if my thoughts change after using it more.  My tube is labeled with the shade name “For My Primas” – I’m not sure if there are multiple shades available.

First, note that this – like most eye primers – does separate some in the tube (I always have this problem with Too Faced Shadow Insurance, and it’s the primary reason I stopped using it). You can massage the tube to try and get it to mix back together, but I usually just squeeze out a little until the consistency is better.  The Fergie eye primer had a little bit of separation at the beginning of the tube, but only a little.

The texture of the Fergie eye primer is very familiar – it’s basically the same as all the eye primers I’ve tried, with perhaps a touch more silicone-y of a feel.  It’s very blendable, and disappears completely once blended in.

Here is the sheer purple shade from the Fergie eyeshadow palette I purchased. On the left is several (about 4) swipes without primer, on the right is 2-3 swipes over the Fergie primer.

As you can see, the primer does a nice job intensifying color.  I wore the primer yesterday, and I didn’t have any problems with creasing or fading; I will continue to test it out over the next few weeks, and update this post if anything changes.

I also have a photo of the ingredients for those with sensitivities:

Overall, this eyeshadow primer seems like a fantastic affordable option (it was $5.49 at my Walgreens).  It does a good job intensifying color, and seems to wear well on me (though I don’t have oily lids).  I’m really happy to see more drugstore brands offering eyeshadow primers!
