Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Radiant Face Primer - Illuminating & Hydrating Makeup Base with Niacinamide for Dewy Skin - Long-Lasting, Oil-Free Formula, Lightweight & Cruelty-Free, 30g

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. =)

I wish I had discovered this eyeshadow primer years ago. After trying several high-end and drugstore primers, this one performs the best on my eyelids. It isn't oily, doesn't crease, and helps fill fine lines for a smooth eyeshadow application. While I wish it were tinted to help cover redness and small veins, it works well as a base for powders that do. I use this primer and then add a light layer of powder foundation on my eyelids to cover any discoloration. It is an excellent value for the amount of product you get and the fact that you only need the smallest amount as it spreads easily.

I decided to try this after really liking the Thank Me Later Color Correcting Primer. It's very easy to apply, but I mistakenly didn't give it time to dry the first few times and immediately applied eyeshadow on it with some mixed results. After some trial I realized it works best when given a few minutes to dry before applying anything over it, after which eye shadow goes on more evenly and stays longer. I've used others that were more resistant to creases but were more difficult to apply, this is good for applying quickly but has a good overall result.

When my favorite brand switched their formula & packaging/applicator I never thought I would find a replacement. I am happy to report this product is now my ALL TIME FAV!(Even compared to my old go-to)Goes on smooth, not too thick (& not too thin/no watery feeling) just glides on effortlessly & is a beautiful, subtle color. My powder eye shadow stays all day, no creasing issues at all. You can’t even tell the primer is there (except of course for how long the shadow stays 😊)I’ve tried several replacements & had almost given up hope. So glad I found this one!!!

I've been using the Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Color Correcting Primer for a few months now, and it has completely earned a permanent spot in my makeup routine. I have some redness and uneven tone, and this primer really helps to even everything out before I apply foundation. It goes on super smoothly, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, and gives my skin a velvety finish.It also helps my makeup stay in place all day—even in heat and humidity—and I’ve noticed I don’t get as shiny in my T-zone anymore. A little goes a long way, so one tube lasts me quite a while.If you’re looking for a primer that color corrects without being cakey or overly silicone-y, this is it. I’ve tried a lot of primers, and this one seriously lives up to the hype.

Best eyeshadow primer I have used. Goes on smoothly. Allows eyeshadow to last all day. No creases in eyeshadow.

I've been using this color correcting primer for the last three months and I can honestly say this may be the best thing I have found for my skin! I have sensitive, acne-prone skin with moderate scarring. This not only helps to reduce the redness, but it does not break me out at all. I feel like it actually improves my skin. Since using this, my breakouts are fewer and when I do get the occasional pimple they are smaller and seem to heal quicker.Things I like:- It has skin-friendly ingredients and feels like skin care--something actually good for my skin--as opposed to another clogging makeup product.- It helps me wear less foundation less often. Because of my acne and scarring, I used to rarely leave the house bare-faced, but who wants to apply foundation just to run the grocery store or drop the kids off at school? Ugh. This gives me the confidence to skip the foundation. I never thought I'd be able to do that.- It doesn't feel greasy and I forget I'm wearing it.The only thing that would make this better is if it had an SPF. I'll buy this forever!
