I liked Mally's, but don't need a whole shadow kit.

TIA!

I use Laura Geller's baked vanilla highlighter as a shadow base. It's very versatile.

e.l.f. eyelid primer works well for me and it only costs $1.

NYX makes a good one for about $10.

What does a shadow base or primer do? I don't use one, but maybe I'm missing something. I thought it was to make your eyeshadow last longer and not crease?? I use Skinn eyeshadows and they are long lasting and don't crease. Am I missing something? or is this to even out skintone?

It does both. Helps it stay longer and evens out skin tone. I know lots of ladies, myself included, have dark, "tea stained" eyelids. It makes shadows look muddy.

What ever you do don't buy the new one tarte just sold on the Q. I'm returning it, it's dries so fast you can't work with it. I also like LG vanilla high lighter and I'll try that as a base.

I like Mally's, she does sell them alone, maybe as a duo. I also use Mark (Avon), I got it a long time ago though I'm not sure if they still sell it. It's not as opaque as Mally's though, but I have it in it's own separate little compact.

I use Urban Decay primer and love it.

NYX eyeshadow base. I get the flesh tone version...use it everyday.
