NYX Eyeshadow Base

The first eyeshadow I ever bought myself (I was 11) was a little Cover Girl set with 3 browns and an eyeshadow base. I religiously applied the base before I put on any eyeshadow and lo and behold, my eyeshadow always looked great.

Since my tween days however, I haven't been as mindful of my eyeshadow application, and primer was something that fell to the wayside. Recently, I started using my under-eye concealer as an eyeshadow base and it worked pretty great! Finally, I decided that instead of wasting my M.A.C undereye thing, I should probably invest in a primer.

There was a great sale at Haute Look (Here is an invitation for anyone who would like to join. http://www.hautelook.com/invite/kdawson577 use this link to sign up please! I can earn points or something.)on NYX so I bought a Base and Primer Brush Set. It came with 2 white primers; one matte (ESB01) and one with a pearl finish (ESB02) as well as a primer brush (B11)




So far I have only used the matte one but I am VERY pleased with the result. It works significantly better than my under-eye concealer ever did, that's for sure. I used it with some pink Coastal Scents eyeshadow from the Prism Palette (I haven't reviewed this yet but I will) and wow! The shade was already quite pigmented, but this just made it pop so much more, and it help everything in place all day. I also really like the brush The bristles are soft but stiff enough to apply the product perfectly. No hairs fell out and the construction seems pretty solid.


I will update this when I have used the shimmer primer as well, but as of now, I am super pleased with this product.
