Elizabeth Mott – Thank Me Later Eye Primer for Long-Lasting Eyeshadow Gripping Formula, Shine & Oil Control, Pore Minimizer, Hides Wrinkles & Fine Lines, Prevent Creasing for…

Due to a thyroid condition I lost all the hair on my face and, including my eyelashes and eyebrows. So my makeup routine has changed significantly in the last 4 years. Starting with a completely blank canvas every morning definitely has its challenges, and having no eyebrows at all has been my biggest struggle. Eyebrows frame you’re entire face, they are the primary components in facial expression and have a huge impact on how we communicate non-verbally, which is over 75% of our communication. I was born with a condition that resulted in the small bones in my inner ear not to form properly and I spent the first years of my life unable to hear. Although surgeries were able to provide approx 60% hearing ability later on, as an infant, the method of communication I depended on was non-verbal, unlike most babies. Still to this day, my communication depends on what I feel and see, not what I hear, and eyebrows play a huge role in my ability to understand what someone is trying to communicate. I don’t mind not having eyelashes, but eyebrows actually have a significant impact on my ability to properly communicate with the world around me,domething most people don’t even realize how important their eyebrows are for more than just the beauty aspect.
I have tried thousands of eyebrow products from pen, pencils, pomades, even sticker brows trying to create eyebrows that look like my natural hairs. Even when I found products I was satisfied with, my oily skin would have my brows gone by noon. I wish I could thank her in person, because it was her review left on a different product on Amazon that led me to discover the Thank Me Later primer. I know it’s mainly designed to be used as an eyeshadow primer, but this primer has been my holy grail for keeping my “eyebrows” looking just as good at the end of the day as when I first step out in the morning, every time I use it. And because a little goes a long way, I only need to use a tiny amount the size of a sewing push pin head each time, one tube literally lasts me almost 2 years. I bought my first tube at the end of 2018,and today in Aug 2023 I just ordered my 3rd tube, and still have some left in the second one. I just never want to have to go a day without this primer so I decided to have an extra tube on hand in case inflation continues to skyrocket prices like it has been.
So for anyone out there looking for a product that can help you to create natural looking eyebrows that stay put for 24 hours, even with oily skin, THIS is your answer. I apply half a pin head size amount to each eyebrow area, (I apply mine using a stencil that I also use to apply a light brown powder with to form a clean, even, defined shape for each eyebrow) I let the primer dry while I apply my under eye concealer, then use my stencil and dab my eyebrow powder (just a shade of eyeshadow I found that matches my natural dark blonde hair as close as possible), then I carefully define the perimeter of each eyebrow with a tiny bit of concealer on a very fine tipped, firm angle brush (by Kat Von D) to give precise definition to each of my brows. I then go in with either my “Snatch and Lift” eyebrow pen or two shades of Kat Von D’s “Signature Brow” pencils and very lightly create individual hair strokes. The Thank Me Later primer with a single spritz of setting spray keeps my brows looking great all day. Nothing else is needed and I don’t have to worry about touch-up throughout the day either.
Just a tip for those interested – When I have a night out planned with someone that I know usually leads to some hot, sweaty, face in the pillow all night adult activities, (which as adults, we all know those times can happen) my other secret for brows that stay put for up to 2-3 DAYS or through a wild all-nighter is a final coat of a product called “Model in a Bottle.” It looks like a bottle of pinkish clear nail polish, but it’s the BEST eyebrow sealer I’ve ever found. One swipe and your brows wont budge. Its held my brows in place even through a shower and getting pushed into the pool. =) So there you have it. This primer is one I depend on every single day that allows me to start with no eyebrows at all, to natural looking brows that last until I remove them when I’m ready to. Hopefully my review will help someone else as much as the review I read that led me to discovering this primer years ago. =)

Me gustó el producto, sin embargo no dura todo el día. Al terminar de aplicarlo parece que necesita asentarse antes de poner maquillaje porque de lo contrario como que se arruga, raro, como que no queda parejo. Lo usaré hasta terminarlo pero no lo volveré a comprar.

Radical pour s’assurer que son eyeliner tienne toute la soirée. Creme douce qui ne laisse pas de traces ou film blanchâtre.

I’m a professional makeup artist. I typically like something with a little tackiness to allow for color packing, but smooth enough to allow for blending. And this was absolutely perfect. The primer is tinted white, but it isn’t opaque enough to wash you out, just bright enough so it brightens the shades you put over it. The hold is IMPRESSIVE. I used this for the first time for my Halloween Bratz makeup, and wore it for 9 hours with no shift, creasing, or fading.

A tiny bit goes a very long way. I like to do my brows first, and then carve the bottom out with concealer and blend it down with a brush, then pat the primer on with my ring finger. I allow it about 30 seconds to start to set before going in with shadow. If you’re wanting to do a high impact look, press the shadow directly into the primer with a denser brush and then blend it out. For a more natural every day look, you can use a cream or skin toned shadow with a fluffy brush to set it.
I hope this is helpful!

I’m so glad I didn’t just immediately get annoyed and throw this stuff in the trash and write an angry review, because that was my first instinct when I try this primer.

I personally like a natural look, and have found tinted primers make me look more natural than heavy foundation makeup. I also have very oily skin that is prone to breakouts and redness. I had been wanting to try this primer for a while now, and finally decided to purchase it when I saw a discount/deal on it.

When I first applied it, I thought: “It’s too green” when applied heavily, and “it does nothing at all” when it’s applied too lightly. There is a sweet spot though! I found the best use is to apply it and start to thin it out until a pale teal cast is achieved. Then, let it dry down, and finally, apply loose setting powder. While it didn’t completely hide my breakout, it SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the look of redness, but didn’t make my face look all bumpy and cakey like foundation does. Also, due to my cool complexion, it is nearly impossible for me to find a foundation that doesn’t look too yellow or orange, but with this product, I don’t need foundation at all. It gives me just enough coverage to correct the redness that would definitely show through a foundation applied as lightly as I applied this primer, while also allowing my freckles to shine through. This is now my go-to solution for breakouts, redness, and general imperfections. I recommend pairing it with Ciaté “Extraordinary” translucent powder for an extra “blurring” effect to camouflage breakouts.

Oddly enough, when I washed my face, it didn’t come off green; it was like a peachy skin color on my way cloth. I don’t know what that’s about, but not what I had expected and may have been oxidation or something.
