    This actually works better than Mac Paint Pots as far as creasing goes. It really does create a base that doesn’t crease and seems to make my liner and shadow last longer. A little goes a long way...

    I love this base because it looks natural on my eyelids. I think people are buying this hoping it will substitute as a primer, but this is not a primer. The difference between a primer and a base...

    I was looking for a less expensive eyeshadow primer than my Lancome. This does not do the job for me! My shadow creased in a few hours & my lids were shiny almost immediately. Back to my beloved...

    I was hoping this would be a dupe for my Mac paint pot, but it isn’t. It does a great job of concealing discoloration on the lid, but by the end of the day my eye shadow is creased and my lids...

    Works fine as an even-colored surface, but not effective at preventing creases.

    This has been a good, price effective eye primer for me. It's a perfect match for my NC35 skin tone. I don't feel like this does much for the longevity of my eyeshadow, it pretty much lasts the...

    This was a great little find. This eyeshadow “base” is not really a primer. It really is used more to even out the lid (if you are using the skin tone one) and creates a smooth surface for your...

    I gave this product a fighting chance. I tried wearing it alone with just eyeliner, with one eyeshadow, and with full eyemakeup. I was strapped for cash a few months ago and couldn't afford...

    First off I'd like to say this product STINKS, like literally! Has a gross perfumery smell reminiscent of old lady makeup - yuk. Now in my opinion eyelid treatments should never be scented,...

    To settle the base vs primer argument, this is what their website says "it creates a smooth canvas for color, increases its durability, and prevents fallout." To me, this description means that it...

    I don't have particularly oily lids, so much so, that unless I am going out, I rarely ever wear eyeshadow primer even though I wear eyeshadow daily. With that being said, I use this when going...

    Creased on my lids. Will go back to Milani's Eyeshadow Primer.

    I love: the color, the ease of application, the wear time (up to 12 hours on me!), the price. the only criticism I have is to have a more sturdy lid.

    I absolutely love this product, so you'd understand my surprise on the amount of negative reviews this had. I'm a NC35, very oily and absurdly pigmented eyelids. This concealer cancels out the...

    I have mixed feelings about this product. I do think it makes my eyeshadows last longer and it does intensify the colour of them as well. It's really thick, so it's easy to use too much but I find...
