...all right, so it's not that kind of insurance, but Too Faced's new eyeshadow primer, Shadow Insurance, is currently my latest obsession. And that's saying a lot, because I am a HUGE fan of Urban Decay's Potion Primer. I still love it, but while I was out working in stores this holiday, every store seemed to be out of it, so I was forced to sell something else. I am so glad I tried it. It goes on really smoothly, evens out the eyelid tone, and really locks eyeshadow on to keep it from creasing. Plus, it makes colors really vibrant. I also love the packaging - my only beef with Urban Decay's primer was that it came in this wand thing that made it hard to get out when you got down to the last bits in the container; the Too Faced one comes in a cool squeezy tube. Now, I wonder if my friend Magda, who has a very healthy Too Faced obsession herself, has discovered this latest little gem...
About
- I'm a New York City makeup artist who is slightly (OK, really) obsessed with makeup and skincare. I have a full-time job at Sephora, the ultimate candy store for kids like me. I also do freelance work in my free time, when I'm not researching other obsessions. I firmly believe looking good should be fun - and should take as long as you want it to take (sorry, husband).

I haven't discovered Shadow Insurance, but I don't use primers. It takes me 15 minutes to put my makeup on anyway and I guess I just never discovered why I should add an extra step with a primer. Maybe you can convince me. : )
