Best primer

I am the biggest fan of this primer. I go out for the whole day, visit the gym, and my eyeshadows are still on my eyes. I have hooded eyes and thus it is such a challenge to achieve a look that lasts the whole day. It is still quite pricey for me to spend that much on primer, but I think it's definitely worth it. Highly recommend

Seems to work

Seems to work. I have crepey eyelids and this isn't heavy. Only used it a few times but seems to work.

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!

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!

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.
