Barry M Cosmetics Lid Lock Eyeshadow Primer

Does the job. Great product

Best one I have found! I use it every day.

I usually use too faced eyeshadow insurance as an eyeshadow primer but as it's expensive I decided to try the barry m lid lock. It's is quite thick and creamy and a small amount goes far. It slides on the eyelid easily and keeps my eyeshadow from creasing and as a result is lasts much longer. For the price, it is an excellent alternative to other, much more expensive eye primers. However, on 2 occasions the product I received wouldn't dispense from tube and when I cut the plastic tube open, the primer was hard and clumpy. Obviously the primer shouldn't be like this but the product itself is worth buying.

I used this product before and the issue with it was that it had clumps in it a bit like a face scrub, but it would rub in okay. This time purchasing it, it is extremely watery. I’m not sure what’s happened if they’ve changed the formula? It doesn’t work as well now and my eye makeup doesn’t last as long. It’s still decent for the price but not as good as before.

Love this product to help eye shadow crayons glide across lids. Helps make up stay on longer too 👍

Okay so I read some reviews of this product and some said it was grainy and some said it was completely fine. So I thought i'd take the gamble because I needed a primer and there wasn't very many options on amazon and stores are still closed. Plus this is one of the cheaper ones and I'd rather roll the dice on £4 than £12.As soon as I opened the parcel I wanted to test it to see if it was smooth as it is supposed to be or if I had received a gritty one and to my disappointment, it was grainy like an exfoliant. Luckily I went to request a refund/return immediately and reported it as defective. I was able to request a replacement item so I thought I'd take another gamble and try that, rather than another primer as there are some good reviews on here. I haven't received the replacement yet but I will edit this comment after I test that out.UPDATE:Utterly Disappointed, the replacement item arrived and arguable worse than the first item I received. There was no seal on either of the items I received, just the lid, so possibly it was out of date as the grittiness in the product looks like clumps that have hardened over time. BarryM need to add some sort of seal to this product or make it last longer as I presume that is what happened but I am still unsure why I have received 2 grainy products in a row and other people are claiming it is fine. I would advise against buying this product (or try and get it in-store) as it is a waste of money in the hope that you get a fabled smooth one.I also wanted to warn people not to use the product if it has bits in it because I got mild irritation after using it on the back of my hand for only a few minutes and the hand I tried it on is significantly drier than the other one (note: I have no known allergies).Hopefully, this helps someone and please if you do end up getting it, write a review to help other people. In the likelihood that it is grainy, please at least leave a 1 star rating or review to help bring the rating down and help get it off the bestseller list because this product is far from something I would want anyone to put on their skin let alone around their eyes.(1st Image is the first product I received and 2nd is the replacement)

I don't normally leave reviews but I am thoroughly impressed with this product especially with the cheap price, I have recently started wearing more eyeshadow lately but always ended up with product build up or creases after an hour or so, I used this product this morning and 14 hours in my make up has not budged, its easy to apply and very light, I will be buying again.

It's a little grainy but that's grand as it literally DOES lock colour onto eyes. It doesn't have a glitter or shine to it which is also great as you can just use it as a base for any type of eyeshadow, or just a little powder.EDIT after using this for over a year and changing to something else, I realize it is in no way meant to be grainy, it was pure inexperience that made me think that is was okay. The product does hold colour onto eyes but not as well as many, many other primers, and not for more than a couple of hours, and, if it's something with a shine or sparkle (not a loose glitter, you need a separate primer for that) then forget about it.Wouldn't recommend it especially with so many other options out there
