Ingredients:
This is a list you can find on Etude House's international website:
TALC, ISODODECANE, VP/HEXADECENE COPOLYMER, MICA, TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE TRIHYDROXYSTEARIN, SILICA DIMETHYL SILYLATE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, SORBITAN SESQUIOLEATE, PEG-40 STEARATE, BEESWAX, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, DIMETHICONE, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, METHICONE, BHT, PROPYLPARABEN, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499.
But this is what is on the packaging, so the product has been either reformulated and the website has an old list, or my product is from an older batch, who knows. I just know that the lists are so different that they sound completely different products. I bought my eye primer in November 2018 but opened it this year:
Cyclopentasiloxane, talc, mica (CI 77019), hydrogenated polysobutene, trimethylsiloxysilicate, isododecane, trihydroxystearin, vp/hexadecane copolymer, polysobutene, disteardimonium hectorite, silica dimethyl silylate, titanium dioxide (CI 77891), beeswax, peg-40 stearate, sorbitan sesquioleate, propylene carbonate, bismuth oxychloride, caprylyl glycol, cyclohexasiloxane, dimethicone, 1,2-hexanediol, ethylhexylglycerin, CI 77492, methicone, CI 77491, CI 77499, bht.
I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- The applicator and bottle design is difficult. You can't get everything out of the bottle, you can't squeeze it or cut it.
- The applicator doesn't make much sense because you can't apply the product properly with it, you still have to use your fingers to pat it on. Also if you apply it straight, you are taking all the bacteria from your skin back in to the bottle. I wash my hands and pat the product from the applicator to my finger and then to my eyes.
- The primer does not make eye makeup last that long. I think 6 hours max on oily eyelids and the creasing has started at around 3-4 hour mark. This on a normal day, no too much sweating, normal temperature but still going out and about.
- Doesn't seem to affect the vibrancy of eye makeup.
+ Does make the eye makeup last somewhat longer, about double what it would without. (Not very long for me still.)
+ Easy to spread, gel-like, light, doesn't roll, can be layered.
+ Is not super sticky after applying, it's easy to put on eyeshadow without the brush sticking on it. (But, it's probably affecting the staying power when the makeup doesn't stick to the product extra well.)
+ No scent, not irritating, not drying, no heavy feel. Slightly brightens the eye contour. Smooths the base for the eye shadows but does not really hide veins or other bumps and wrinkles.

* People seem to generally compare Proof 10 Eye Primer to the infamous Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. UD Primer costs about 20 € for 10 ml, when EH Primer costs about 4-5 € for 10 g. They both have similar applicators as well. I haven't tried Urban Decay one so I can't compare.
* I have the most oily eyelids. It's so strange that they don't usually feel or look super oily, but they eat all makeup super fast anyway, including both eye shadow and mascara. Without any primers eye shadows last maybe 1-2 hours on me.
* I recently bought Essence's You Better Work Gym Proof + Waterproof Eye Primer and I really like it! I definitely recommend it over Etude House's Proof 10. And costs about the same, maybe even slightly less.

Worth the money?
This is a difficult one. Etude House's Proof 10 Eye Primer is definitely not worth it for me but so many people love it... it must work for someone. Yes, it is cheap, yes, it does double the longevity of eye shadows, but for me it only means the 3-4 hours in normal conditions (less if I sweat, temperature is warm, I walk a lot; more if it's extremely cold and I don't go outside or move at all). The packaging is cute but unpractical. Maybe if you don't normally use or need the primer, or your eyelids are dry, it would be quite nice extra, just smoothing the base for the rest of the makeup.
