Too Faced Shadow Insurance ($17) This is your full-coverage insurance policy against all fading, creasing, melting, blurring, oil slicked, and hard-to-blend eyeshadow accidents. Our silicone based eyeshadow primer transforms any eyeshadow into a perfectly blendable, color-drenched, intensified version of itself, then locks it down perfectly until you take it off. This soothing formula evens out the skintone on your lids and smoothes lines while securing a barrier between the oils of your skin and your makeup, so no shadow catastrophes will ever happen again.
My Thoughts:
Pros:
- works great with both cream and powder shadows
- prevents creasing and fading all day long, but not as long as Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
- goes on smooth
- more sanitary (than Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer)
- you can squeeze out all of the product (unlike Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer. To get out all the product, you have to cut open the bottle)
Cons
- its got a greasy feel/texture
- the product separates. Sometimes when you squeeze the tube, oil comes out first then the primer

I’ve never experienced the oil coming out with TFSI, but with the Lockdown colors, I’ve experienced it.
hmmmm….maybe it was just my tube?
my favorite!
I experienced separation with my TFSI as well – a good shake before use solves that though. However, it didn’t prevent creasing on me, so mine went back to Sephora.
I’m now using the Urban Decay’s eye shadow primer, I do like it but I think I’ll try this one after that, because the bottle certainly is not the most practical one…
i have a mini travel bottle that i only use sparingling, i still like udpp better mostly for the base color (sin is one of my fav shadows, so when they came out with the pp version i was in heaven)
perhaps i will have to invest in some of this for my matte shadow days <3
I’ve been meaning to try this! Currently using MAC primer and it holds up pretty well
I love this primer, I always go back to it!
Love love love this primer but I’m going to have to let go and try UDPP just to see how it holds up someday.
I am using MAC’s paint pot “painterly” as primer. It could be bit thinner than it is, but it does keep the eyeshadow on its place.
I agree that the texture does feel quite greasy and odd when first apply on the eyelids. Despite of the texture, I must say that this product DOES what it CLAIMS to do!!! I’ve always experienced creasing of my eye-shadow and then the pain of having pencil eyeliner absorbing in to my skin too quickly. A SA at Sephora suggested this product for me one day, at first I was skeptical, but made the jump and bought the darn thing. I do not regret buying it because it has put everything in its place!!! YAY!
Plus it’s cheaper than Urban Decay.
