Makeup Revolution Ultimate Eye Base, Long Lasting Eye Primer For All Day Wear, Light, 15 ml

I honestly didn’t appreciate a good eye base for years, I just accepted my eyeshadow, liner or whatever would disappear from my eyelids in the course of the day, or crease hugely. But a few years ago I got chatting to a professional make up artist, asked for some tips for my mature skin (I’m mid 60s) and one of the standout hints was…use an eye base. I pat a couple of small dots of this on to each eyelid, covering up to the socket or even up to my brow bone sometimes, and let it dry for literally just a few seconds. It dries almost tacky, which sounds weird, but it means when you pat on eye shadow, it adheres to it. The result is a truer colour, no sliding off and your eyeshadow liner and any highlighter or whatever stays exactly as you first applied it, even 8-10 hours later. This isn’t a concealer btw, which some people seem to believe, it’s literally a primer for your eyelids. This is a cheap and cheerful one, ok it may not last quite as long as some of the premium brands but it’s excellent value.

I love it! I'm not sure if there’s a shade darker than the one I got because it was a bit too light for me. If you’re not familiar with blending, it might be challenging for you. However, it did the job, and I recommend it!

I'm over 50 & have wanted to smooth fine lines under my eyes and mouth as they were definitely more noticeable before using this product!! It gives an all day smooth appearance under my eyes and I also use around nose and mouth. Don't need very much at all, a little goes along way! Also I usually use concealer under my eyes but I find I don't need it with this product as it is also able to cover the dark circles too! Bonus! It is a brilliant product for the price too! Can't imagine not using this now! Highly recommend!!

A tiny amount goes a very long way so that's a plus with this product. It's very light and opaque so will even out any discolouration around the eye. However as to making eyeshadow etc stay on the lid for longer, I didn't find this particularly great - no better than using concealer and a tiny amount of powder.For the price it's worth a go but don't expect too much.

A miracle worker. The tiniest dot spread over the eyelids and make up is set for the day

Woah this stuff is opaque! But it set quickly and helped my greasy eyelids grip on to shadow for the whole day.

It works well but the colour has come up a lot paler than expected. Which is admittedly hard to tell online, but this is essentially off white. I don't even think at the end of winter this will be right for me. It works fine as a base as I cover the bits with a darker colour to get it closer to my skin type.

Fabulous eyeshadow primer which holds the eyeshadow in place all day long. Easy to use and you don’t need much so lasts a long time as well. I would recommend.
