Now we need to talk about one of my favorite brands out there, NYX. I love how affordable their products are and I love the quality of their products. I jumped at the opportunity to try out this eyeshadow base when I ran out of my Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I loved the fact that this product is in a pot and that it's not a liquid/cream formula. The fact that it's in a pot provides me with a lot of product and a more solid type of formula which is nice because it provides a decent amount of coverage without being too heavy.
I haven't tried too many eyeshadow bases/primers mainly because it takes forever for me to use up just one of them. As a base, it does really well and the wear time is pretty impressive. Some of my favorite aspects is that:
- It's not too tacky or dry
- Provides a decent amount of coverage
- Sometimes if my dark circles aren't too bad I can double this up as concealer
- A lot of product
- Packaging is extremely portable/heavy duty
- Affordable
- Doesn't crease
The one thing that I can see as being a problem for people is the fact that it's in a pot. I know some have problems with the thought of sticking your finger in there and the whole sanitary issue, but I always sanitize my hands before I start on my eye makeup, and I think if you do that then it should be okay.
I've had this for over a year, and I still have a lot left! It's a really great affordable eyeshadow base/primer that will last you a long time, and I feel like it's great with eyeshadows that have some fallout because the base is a little tacky so it sticks to it.
It blends in very nicely and it doesn't take much because the warmth of your fingers help it a lot. If you use a brush you'll want to definitely consider blending it out with your fingers so that it looks more flawless and blends in better.
What are some of your favorite products from NYX? I also love their single eyeshadows, I'll post my favorites in a later post!
