Primers and why are they so important

Do you guys remember when you were younger and would take your mom make-up, or you went through that punk rock phase and all that black eyeshadow or liner creased?? Pretty huh? ..No I didn't think so either. It was about a year ago when I started to really to get back into make-up I had stopped wearing it because my sponge tips didn't make my eyeshadow look like it did on Gerad Way from My chemical romance .. ah the black and the red eyeshadow. Now I'm not bashing sponge tips I just didn't know how to utilize them. I learned everything pretty much from youtube watching gurus. The various Gurus would talk about udpp Urban decay primer potion, too faced shadow insurance, Loreal decrease , and Mac paint pots . Now I didn't know which one was the better one so I researched all of these primers . My first primer was loreal decrease I did like what it did for my wash of color it made the color pop and stay on longer .Then I got curious on other primers but udpp and tfsi was 17 each and I wasn't willing to spend that much for a while I was quite content with my loreal.. then I went off from my safety zone Champagne colored eyeshadow and tried light pinks and adding contour then after that I was hooked . Eventually I ventured out and bought udpp the big tube I had used a coupon and was pretty content with what I had paid . Udpp Changed everything ! After One use I had an Epiphany . I realized how much more pigmented my drug store eye shadows looked , how much less product I used .Now choosing a primer . If you have oily lids dry lids its what depends on what primer you choose I have dry lids but I use udpp and a base over that to get some sort of moisture . But either way I love udpp . other recent primer i've tried out is the elf eyelid primer . This Primer is awesome its very similar to udpp smooth application and evens out the skin tone but what makes the elf eyelid primer better is the price which is $1 and its amazing . If your on a budget the elf one is the one to pick makes the colors pop and prevents creasing for about 8+ hours but do take into account I work indoors with airconditioning so this may extend the wear .
