NYX HD Eye Shadow Base Review & Swatches!

Today's featured product is the HD eye shadow base from NYX. This is a base you put before you put on a eyeshadow to help it last longer and make the colour more vibrant by having the shadow something to stick on to. It is very hard to find a primer from the drugstore which can be compared to high ends such as urban decay primer portion or too faced shadow insurance.
It is very hard to find a primer from the drugstore which can be compared to high ends such as urban decay primer portion or too faced shadow insurance. So when i found these i was very excited to try them out.

The packaging is very cute and sleek and i really like it. It comes with a lip gloss like wand and you can directly apply to your lids. It smooth out the lines and even out the colour and great prep for the shadow.
The consistency is lighter than the primer portion.

Here is the swatches. the 2 right are the colour of the primer, it is soft beige with warm undertones. The 2 left swatch is eyeshadow with primer at very left and without on right. As you can see the eye shadow become more opaque with the primer and gives like a metallic finish which is gorgeous.  For me the primer helped the shadow to last almost 11 hours without any creasing seen. 

I was very happy with the result of this and i would like to continue using this :) 

can be bought at any drugstore in US for about US$ 7. 
In malaysia, you can purchase at this website for about RM30.

    I use only a little on the eye area and it lasts for ages. I totally agree with you on the lasting power w/o creasing!

    When first bought this, I used too much and it caked up with whitish crease lines! :( Now I know only a little is enough. Only one eye primer can be boring, that's why thinking of trying out the Canmake e/s base!

    1. no i think you should use this one because this is much better and if you are looking for an alternative you should try the primer from nars but it's not sold in malaysia :(
