The best, bar none

I have been using this for over a decade now, it's simply the best eyeshadow primer. There is a remarkable difference on the days I wear the primer and when I don't, even when using "smudge proof" eyeliner. I have oilier skin, which I think makes makeup wear off faster, but this product prevents that from happening too quickly!

Nope

Nope! My eyeshadow creased just a few hours in to my day.

Hello Pamela, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that this product is not working as intended for you, and would like to offer some helpful tips. For best results, be sure there is not excess moisture, such as oil on the surface of the eyelid, or eye cream which has not fully absorbed. This can hinder the Eyeshadow Base from adhering to the lid. Please know that we have shared your feedback with our internal teams for further investigation. Once again, we appreciate your comments. - Samantha, NARS Artist

Thrilled. This works very WELL!

Finally found the secret weapon for my shimmery palettes! My eye shadow stayed bold and beautiful for a full 12 hours—no creasing, no fading (and I put it to the test with a long day of travel, visiting, and even guest-cheffing). I topped it off with a bit of setting spray, but I’ve tried that combo with primer before and never got results this good. Honestly, this is the glow-up my makeup routine didn’t know it needed. Totally obsessed!

The best

I have used this for years. It is the best eyeshadow/eyeliner. While it is expensive, it lasts a long time. This is easy to apply, lasts all day, and works on sensitive skin. I hope NARS doesn't discontinue this product.

I would buy again

The consistency is thin so your not sure if it will hold shadow in place but once it dries, the shadow base is solid and holds shadow both cream and powder.

Perfect base for all types of shadows

Best eyeshadow base out there! Glides in smoothly, has no odor like some other brands, and my shadow lasts the entire day. No touch up needed if I go out at end of day either. Used to use it with powder shadow, but I've been only using cream stick shadows for a few years now. It's perfect for those.
