This is the OG, the first, the gamechanger... this product allowed early-2000s me to wear eyeshadow, which previously ALWAYS creased on my young, greasy eyelids. The heavens opened, angels sang, etc etc. Since then, many duplicates have come out but I always come back to the OG because it never fails.
As soon as I put it on it made my eyelids burn. I had bumps over them. I never reacted to any other products like this so I was happy to try.
