Review 2 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Pretty bad when the primer ITSELF creases
-06.09.13
Quick Take: not working for me
I wanted to try this since I am a mega-fan of Kat's shadows. I am very heavy-lidded and 90% of shadows fade on me by lunchtime. After stippling this primer on with my pinky finger, I let it dry for about 10 minutes. When I came back to the mirror, I was shocked. There was a thin line of gunked up primer in the crease of my eye lid. The color of this product is yellowish and really can only be used with dark colors. My shimmery blue shadows took on a horrible matte beige undertone. I still occasionally use this and can't wait till it's gone.

Review 3 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Best of the bunch
-05.31.13
Quick Take: color correcting, creamy, crease resistant, lasts all day
I've tried five or six other primers without finding anything even close to this product. It provides a smooth and even canvas for liner or shadow. And it sticks to your skin. So many primers and concealors cover unevenly. One area is fine and the other is bare skin. You can use it without a shadown, the color is neutral but light. Definitely a winner

Review 5 for High Voltage Eye Primer
the best eye primer
-05.28.13
Quick Take: crease resistant
this is the best eye shadow primer on the market! I've tried lots of eye primers and this one is by far the best. Without this primer, eye shadows are much lighter in color once applied to the eyelid. With this primer, my eye shadow is the same color on my eye as it is in it's container. Makes the pigment stand out and last all day. My shadow does NOT crease during the day either!

Review 6 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Great product
-05.28.13
Quick Take: crease resistant
The only resin I didn't give it five str is because the product went on a little rough. But other than that I love how long the eyebrow stays, and there is no creasing. :)

Review 7 for High Voltage Eye Primer
high voltage
-05.26.13
Quick Take: amazing
Keeps my eye shadow in place all day. Must have. My make up bag was stolen out of my office & I had been using a sample of urban decay's. No comparison. Kat's is much better.

Review 8 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Comparable to Urban Decay Primer
-05.16.13
Quick Take: crease resistant
I have been using Too Faced and Urban Decay's eye primer but I got this on a recent trip to Sephora. I thought it was too thick at first but using less solved that problem. Your eye shadow will not budge with this! I put some under my eyes as well. I have very oily skin and I think this might be drying for someone with normal or dry skin but it is perfect for my skin. The color is light but after you put on your makeup, you won't see it.

Review 9 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Love this!
-05.13.13
Quick Take: creamy, crease resistant, color correcting
This is super lightweightand and spreads extremely smooth. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star instead of a 5 is because I like the old packaging better. I feel like it is so easy to squeeze a lot out so there is a lot that is wasted. This is my favorite primer that I have used though, hands down!

Review 10 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Still a fan
-05.13.13
Quick Take: crease resistant
I decided to sample it before I bought it- best idea. I agree with what some of the reviews are saying: I'm fair with red tones, so this yellow/medium formula was a little hard on my skin and can be tricky to blend. I must say though, when you use your eyeshadow it's not as harsh. I still think this is the best primer for my oily eyelids. I don't think I'll ever find anything that lasts ALL DAY, but this has lasted the longest- through the work day. My biggest piece of advice- go get a sample before you buy it. The sample I received has lasted me almost a full month because a little goes such a long way.

Review 12 for High Voltage Eye Primer
So much yellow
-05.12.13
Quick Take: creamy
I got this eye shadow primer because I needed something nude and matte and wanted to try something other then UDPP. I wanted to love it but there were two things that weren't very good about it. 1.) SUPER YELLOW. Once I got into regular light it looked like i had pale yellow eyeshadow on. 2.) Still creased. I won't really blame the primer for it rather it is my stupid oily lids.
The yellow coloration though is something I cannot deal with. It looks bad, very very bad. I hate to be that girl but I am going to be returning it.

Review 13 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Long Lasting Color!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: creamy, crease resistant, long lasting
This is the first eye primer that I have used and I absolutely love it! It goes on smoothly and has a creamy texture. It makes my eye shadow last all day! I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because there were a few occasions where it creased a little, but nothing is perfect! I love this product!!!

Review 14 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Perfect Primer
-05.06.13
Quick Take: creamy, crease resistant, color correcting
This primer goes on matt and is highly pigmented allowing you to get the most from your colors. It stays put too! I have both the nude color and the gray color that was available a year or so ago. The nude color is great for everyday use, the gray ads intensity to smokey looks. I have tried other brands including Urban Decay but they did not work for me.

Review 15 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Review 16 for High Voltage Eye Primer
a bit dark with unusual undertone on fair skin
-05.01.13
Quick Take: color correcting, crease resistant
I love the high pigment of this and it truly brings out the color of your shadows. I took a star off for the wee bit muddy mustard tone it has on my fair skin. Instead of brightening my eye lid it makes it so I must put eye shadow on to cover it . It wears all day and keeps your shadow true which is why I love it. I knocked off a star for the unusual shade that is basically unnatural in tone on my fair/light skin. If more colors were available this would be a 5 star for sure!

Review 17 for High Voltage Eye Primer
KMRP
Works great but...
-04.29.13
I bought this product because it had great reviews. I have oily eyelids and this product keeps my eyeshadow in place. However, I don't like that the components tend to separate like oil and water. Also, it dries rather quickly so you have to work fast to blend it, otherwise it will look streaky.

Must have
-04.27.13
Tout utilisatrice d'ombres à paupières devrait avoir ce produit. Il s'applique facilement et fait le travail pour lequel il a été conçu. En plus, il est vraiment moins cher que ceux des autres compagnies de cosmétique et il y en a plus !!! C'est vraiment ridicule de s'en passer!!!

Review 20 for High Voltage Eye Primer
Nope
-04.24.13
Quick Take: creamy, color correcting
I gave this primer 1 week of testing. My normal eyelids (can get a tiny bit oily after a hot day) suddenly had creases on my eyeshadow. My go-to matte eye shadows turned dewy and creased. I gave the product one star because my colors did look truer to pan than without primer.
Yes this goes on thick. Likely you'll need one dot (barely squeeze the tube) to cover your entire eyelid.
