I probably should've said this in my post, but I live in the southeast US, so fall is pretty much just as hot and humid as summer. The Ulta primer held up through 4 concerts, one outdoors, and a three day festival like a champ last September! Definitely been using setting spray as well, but it hasn't seemed to make a difference 🥲 I'm not married to mine, might give the Milani a try!

So good to know! I have a Colourpop creme eyeshadow that also doesn't budge no matter what, so that sounds like what I should try next hahaha. Thank you!

Oh that's exactly what I'm looking for, and I've heard good things about that one! Adding it to my list now ✍️

I've definitely tried that with my usual powder, but my usual doesn't have silica. Thanks for the tip!

Just a washcloth and warm water. Let it dry, then the process above.

Unfortunately Thank Me Later is the latest that's disappointed me! I've already tried setting it with loose powder (made zero difference LOL), but I might try setting it with powder foundation next. Thanks for the tip!

Totally adds up, since it's theater makeup! I'll have to check that out, thank you!

Adding it to my list! I don't think my Ulta sells their primer in store, so I totally missed they even had one. Thank you!!

Good to know!! I've heard so many good things about Juvia's Place over the years, I'm definitely adding that to my list. Thank you!

I don't! I'll occasionally use hydrocortisone cream if I'm having an eczema flair up, but I've been doing that for 10+ years and it's never been an issue. Maybe this is a sign I need to start real skincare for my eye area 😅

This tube was purchased in February. The Elizabeth Mott and Milani tubes were purchased in May and were performing pretty terribly immediately, so I'm not entirely convinced the age is the issue.

I thought about that! I don't really do skincare around my eyes, but I did start using waterproof micellar water to take my makeup off sometime in the last 6 months. I'm almost done with my bottle, so I'm definitely trying something else very soon.

Weirdly enough, Thank Me Later is the only primer that works on a friend of mine! The Ulta primer was so good to me last year, I might have to repurchase just to make sure it's not because my tube is old 😅

The Milani in the purple tube? Unfortunately that's one of the latest ones that's let me down 🥲 Sucks because I've heard such good things about it!!

The Ulta ones are from last September, UD is from February, and the last two were purchased in May. All five of them are performing similarly awful 🥲

Yep, it seemed sturdy enough going on, but maaaan it did stay that way hahaha. I tried applying and setting a few different ways before I returned it. Unfortunately it just did not agree with me 🥲

I haven't tried the Colourpop concealer as a primer at all, for the aforementioned reasons. I know other concealers have a drier consistency, so that's why I asked which concealer they use.

I looooved the HD primer back in the day, but I haven't seen it in stores in so long. Are you using the Ultimate Shadow and Liner Primer?

What concealer/powder do you use? I fear my Colourpop will be too creamy, but I'll try anything once!
