    I have this in Vanilla and it is definitely an excellent eyeshadow base for never giving me a SINGLE crease in a span of 8-10 hours. The only gripe is that it can be drying and hard to blend, so I...

    I bought this on a whim. Always on the lookout for good e/s bases, I decided to give this a try. I was drawn to the range of colors for this base. As a woman of color, I find some e/s bases are too...

    I have used this product in vanilla as well as soft peach. I cannot live without it - it really is an essential in my makeup kit. It is the perfect quick pick-me-up on weekends when I don't want...

    I got this as a sample in some GWP in Bare. I have dark eyelids due to allergies and have deep set eyes so I'm always on the lookout for bases to even out my skin tone on my lids. <p> This stuff...

    I got this as a sample and had never used an eye shadow base before. This has completely transformed my eye makeup. It lasts all day with no creases. Also I was shocked at how much less shadow I...

    I've tried several primers and this one isn't bad. I like the smoothness of the application and it does help my shadow last. The problem I had with this, is the color selection. The Vanilla was...

    So far, so good. I only bought this today. It stayed on all day, didn't crease. It was kind of dull looking (not vibrant or skin colored) but then thats just a primer that exists in my fantasies...

    I have slighly oily eyelids which is on my short list of problems I have with cosmetics. I have tried quite a few eye bases, and so far this ranks pretty high. I have been using it for 1 week,...

    I have been reading over the reviews and have read how some people have a problem with this product looking dry or crepey. I think I might be able to help. Several of the Trish makeup artists used...

    This is not a good primer, imo. <P> I tried this in Bare and maybe I am just too pale, but this showed up very peachy-orange on my lid. <P> Then to add insult, it didn't make the...

    I've been searching for the perfect eye base that I can use under eye shadow as well as wear on its own to "neutralize" my lids. Concealer doesn't do it; it just creases. I've tried a few and...

    This is just a fantastic eyeshadow base. There are several colors - I use bare on most days, but I also have crystal and vanilla. This product does not crease, and does not cause shadows to crease....

    I have this in soft peach and it looks beautiful. Nice, slightly shimmery and subtle. I like to use it alone for daytime. BUT I wouldn't recommend it. Less than two weeks after opening it, I...

    I've discovered so many great products from the MUA Top Picks list, but I was very disappointed by Base Essentials. I have it in Crystal, which is shimmery, so maybe it's not as good of a base as...

    I got this in Bare in the Saks gift. It doesn't do what I ask of e/s base, which is that it keep from creasing, but also that it contribute to the shadow looking good. This was like having dry...

    Wonderful coverage and stays where you put it! But it was really drying on my skin. The sponge tip broke off my applicator after a week and when they replaced it they gave me a dried up tube. If it...

    I really like this product. I was given "linen" by the makeup artist who said it was their darkest shade. I use it to keep eye liner and shadow in place on my extremely oily eyelids and it really,...
