PROS: Slim packaging is portable, Easy to use, Only very little is needed each time, Transparent and does not alter the colour of eyeshadow applied over it, Helps eyeshadow colours look more vibrant and stay on longerĬONS: Dries quite quickly so you have to work fast That said, I don’t use this very often but when I do, it impresses.

Use only a little because a little goes a long way, and it should last a long time despite its diminutive size. The transparent colour doesn’t alter the colour of my eye makeup and the only drawback is that it dries fairly quickly so you have to work quickly on one eye at a time. It ticks all the boxes for me and above all, feels comfortable and very lightweight. The NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base is a base product for helping eyeshadow stay on longer, not crease, and make the colours look more vibrant. So if you think about it, I was open to being easily impressed by a product that felt comfortable and worked as described. Sure, it fades after a whole day at work, but then I’m faded by then too, aren’t you? 😛īut you know what? Don’t take my word for it LOL! I am unexperienced in the field of eyeshadow bases and eyelid primers and the one popular item I did try left me wanting. I don’t have oily lids so eye colours don’t usually smudge or fade a lot on me. I also realised it was also because I didn’t need it. It was dry and drying and thick and yuck. It felt like polyfilla or spackle or whatever you call those things you use to patch up holes in walls. When I came to know about eyeshadow primer, I was even more intrigued! Something to help eyeshadow stay in place!Īt the time, the Urban Decay Primer Potion, or affectionately known as UDPP was all the rage. Ideally, you apply a layer of primer before your paint colour to make it last longer and look smoother (but how many of us know or do that? Very few, I’d warrant!) So, when I was introduced to the concept of face primer, I was quite intrigued. But it was in the context of painting walls. Dries quickly and transparently prepping your eyelids for a smooth and even application of your shadow.You know, before I got into this makeup thing, I didn’t know something called a “primer” existed. Need to fit in a quick workout and don’t have time to reapply. to apply in the morning and go all night long without worrying.

Have a dinner date after work? No worries, this eyeshadow primer stays locked in all day. Sometimes, those people even steal the show! This cruelty-free eyeshadow primer enhances your eyeshadow and protects your makeup all day.
