Re: Do You Use An Eye Shadow Base?

I use Laura Geller's baked vanilla.  I put it under my eyes along the lash line - keeps my liner in place and on my lids - I feel it adds an overall brightness.

Yes, I use the NARS primer. I'll skip a face primer many days, but not the eye primer. It makes a huge difference in the look and wear of my shadows.

Re: Do You Use An Eye Shadow Base?

I've used Urban Decay Primer Potion for years...good stuff! I tried Laura Geller's Eye Spackle, but it didn't work for me...though I love the face Spackle.

 

Since I got Laura Geller's Delectables Pallettes, I find I don't need primer as much. They stay on pretty well without it, especially if I'm only doing one color. If I do a crease color, the primer keeps the two shadows from running together.

I don't use a dedictated eye primer but do use bisque as a primer. It works very well. I use it over that dark purple- blue area in the corner of my eye near my nose. Actually I use BE's Well Rested there too.

I use Tarte Amazonian Clay Concealer on the eyelids, which are oily, since otherwise eyeshadow would never stay put.

Re: Do You Use An Eye Shadow Base?

I use a variety of primers -- Urban Decay (both Original and Sin), Laura Geller (which came with an eyeshadow palette I purchased recently -- I really like it), Bare Minerals (both Prime Time for Eyes and the 5-in-1 cream shadows), and Smashbox. I'll set itwith a bit of Mineral Veil or a light shadow -- with the UD esoecially, if you don't out on a light layer before you apply your shadows, the shadows stick too well and refuse to blend.

Re: Do You Use An Eye Shadow Base?

@ECBG. Wow! Under eye, too? Tell me about that? I need all the help I can get around my eyes! The rest of my face is pretty good, few wrinkles! My eyes, however...lines, crow's feet, you name it! I finally got rid of the dark under eye circles! 

Never underestimate the power of kindness.

Trish McEvoy Eye Base Essentials in Bare.

Not very cost effective but works great for me and I've stuck with it.

I use Bobbi Brown's cream eyeshadow for a base or just alone.
