Creasing – A vegan eye primer should create a strong and smooth eye base to prevent the eyeshadow from creasing and smudging.

Our tester explained that she appreciated the level of pigmentation because while it doesn’t completely blank out the eyelids, it does provide enough coverage to create a pretty even canvas. And due to the fact that it’s not full coverage, the shade is flexible and works for a variety of skin tones. However, we do think that adding one lighter shade and one deeper shade to the lineup would be ideal. If your concern is puffiness and eye bags, we also recommend priming the under-eyes with the Full Night’s Sleep Cooling Blurring Undereye Balm from R.e.m Beauty. The vegan under-eye balm cools the skin and fills in fine lines and wrinkles for an even and silky base.

Longevity – The main function of a vegan eye primer is to keep the eyeshadow in place, that’s the main indicator of how well the eye primer performs. To preserve your eye makeup throughout the day, simply begin with a primer—a step that is more imperative than you've likely realized, especially if you have oilier skin.
