Formula overview
This powder-based formula will likely feel smooth and long-wearing on the eyelids. It contains talc and mica to help create an even, refined base, and dimethicone to lend a silky texture.
Compatibility
This powder-based, silicone-rich formula is ideal for oily and combination skin types, as talc and isododecane work together to absorb excess sebum and create a long-lasting, crease-proof base. However, those with very dry or textured eyelids may find the matte finish slightly too drying, potentially emphasizing fine lines if not applied over a light eye cream.

The reason any eye look survives my oily lids
Cult product, deserves the cult. Oily lids and any pretty eye look used to be incompatible — by lunchtime everything had migrated into the crease and I was redoing it in the bathroom. The Original Primer Potion fixed that. A genuine grain-of-rice amount blended into the lid before shadow, two minutes to dry, and the eye look I put on at 8am is recognisably the same one at 11pm. The mini is the right call to start — a full size lasts me ages and I've heard the formula can dry out, so smaller portions actually make more sense unless you do dramatic eyes daily. The squeezy tube on the mini is also way easier than the original wand bottle.
