High Street vs. High End is a never ending debate
in the beauty world so I thought I would start a little series comparing
different aspects of makeup. I thought I would kick it off with eye primers.
High Street
No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing and Brightening Eye
Base - £7.00
This has a really light, almost silky formula and
applies evenly and nicely to the lid. In terms of prolonging eyeshadow wear I definitely
think it helps but also I think it makes the eyeshadow look nicer once on because
it gives it a nice base. I also like this for non-eyeshadow days just all over
the lid because it has a brightening formula it helps to make you look more
awake.
High End
Urban Decay
Primer Potion - £18.00
Here we have a cult classic and I can see why. I really
like this, it has a very think creamy formula which some people might not like
but I really do because it creates the perfect even base for your eyeshadow. It
prevents creasing amazingly and a little goes a long way. A little heads up, the
one pictured is the mini which is £10.00 but the price for the full size is
£18.00.
Overall I think both options are great, I do think
I prefer the Urban Decay offering because I think it prolongs eyeshadow wear
more than the No7 one does and also the packaging is just that bit more hygienic (very important), however both are really nice and for everyday use
the No7 offering is perfect.
