Primer Shoot out!! Urban Decay Vs. E.L.F. *Part I* (And BOLD Christmas look)

It has begun...


Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Vs. E.L.F. Eyelid Primer! Accompanied with a BOLD Christmas look. I will post a video tomorrow with the results of who I think wins. I'll also have a poll with that post and video as well to see what YOU think! Here is the look FRESH after it's done:

Ok so I know my bold Christmas look is a little rough, BUT I am still just a beginner in all of this. That and I have very rigid eyelids and it's hard to apply eyeliner. I'm thinking of trying a different liquid eyeliner. I'm needing a tip that's a little more sturdy. I had a liquid eyeliner back in the day that had an almost felt tip that you still dipped into liquid and I LOVED it!


I've put links to all the product names (except for the Estee Lauder because they don't make that specific highlighter anymore) so if you're interested in the product, just click on its name and it will take you to the company's website.


So besides the two primers, here are the products I used to get my look:


As a base color on my lids, I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk *Thank you iCRAiZ!!*

 
I used BH Cosmetics 88 Color Matte Palette for the eyeshadow colors. I only used two colors from this. I kind of wanted to keep it simple, yet bold (as I'm still learning). Here are the colors I used:

For the liquid eyeliner on the top lid, I used Wet 'N' Wild Mega Liner in Black. I'm going to have to shop around for the liquid liner that's right for me. I can't seem to put this on without making it look awful because the brush just goes everywhere IT wants rather than what I want. : /
For my waterline I used Milani Liquif'Eye Eyeliner in Black, (I'll be doing a review for this in the near future.) and for my lashes I used Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes! For my cheeks I used Physician's Formula Powder Palette® Multi-Colored Blush in Blushing Berry  along with an Estee Lauder cheek highlighter.

I didn't really do anything with my lips, only because in the AM when I get to work I drink coffee and then all of my lipstick comes off. At which point I'm just like "What was the point?" But right now I'm wearing Ulta's Tinted Lip Balm in Cupid.

I'm the video I post tomorrow I will go over how I applied the look and of course which primer I thought did the best at holding up against the elements. Which are NASTY right now. It's dark, foggy, cold and "misty" out right now. What a lame Christmas. No snow. :(

Tomorrow: Primer Shoot out Part II!!! See you then!!
