For me definitely eye lash curler. I rarely use eyeshadow primer.

[miranaz]

I don’t commonly use eyeshadow, but when I do, I use Charlotte Tilbury Super Nudes Easy Eyeshadow Palette. It’s pretty good but I could never give up my TWEEZERMAN ProCurl Eyelash Curler !

[curlychiquita]

I’m picking eyeshadow primer although I rarely use it, because I don’t think I’ve ever used an eyelash curler. NARS Pro-Prime™ Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base 

[missjeanie]

@curlychiquita I can count on one hand the number of times I've used a lash curler... I'm shocked at the results on this week!

[JJJAMIEJO]

I really don’t use eyeshadow, but my eyelashes are one of my favorite things! Definitely the eyelash curler!

[CynthieLu]

This is a toughie.. both of these are really handy tools for me. 🤔🤔🤔

I have a Lise Watier Curler that's been around *a long* time, I'm thinking over a decade and she's in great shape. 🤩

But then there's NARS Pro-Prime™ Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base Original . It's so good for making my eyeshadows last and really pop. 

Because in a pinch I can use concealer as base I'm giving this round to Eyelash Curler. 😍

Eyelash curler 

[EvelynKincaid]

Eyelash Curler

[alexasteph]

I need to go primer for this round. I have hooded eyes so mascara rubs off on my lids if I don’t have a primer. A curler without primer would make it worse!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion 

[MojoHojo]

Eyelash curler. I use and love Shiseido Eyelash Curler 

[ponteha]

eyelash curler 100%

[fr7si]

eyelash curler definitely!!

[BaileyZ26]

Eyelash curler for sure!

[Saradestin]

This one is easy @TeamBIC ! It is eyelash curler for me! SEPHORA COLLECTION Eyelash Curler is a good one!

[happyskincare]

Team eyelash curler all the way! I don’t ever hardly wear eyeshadow🤍 I have the shortest lashes so if I don’t curl then mascara doesn’t help😅😂🤍

[gymnastswift]

For sure eyelash curler!!!

[lmaster]

Eyelash curler!! Shiseido Eyelash Curler 

[CookieGirl1]

Eyeshadow primer alllll the way.  I don't currently have a fav--I'd like to find one--but I find eyelash curlers in general quite alarming.  They low-key scare me, lol.

[curlychiquita]

@CookieGirl1, me, too!

[Sunnysmom]

Team eyelash curler @TeamBIC ! I use cream shadows for primers so technically not a primer but they work well for me in their place.  Shiseido Eyelash Curler and Shu Uemura are my go-tos! 

[Astrooo3x]

Shiseido Eyelash Curler
