Grail Or Fail: NYX Eye Shadow Base in Skintone



I guess you guys are wondering the story of why I picked this up right? Well, I ran out of my Red Earth Eye Perfection Primer so I ran to the drugstore to pick up a new eye shadow primer, and I came across this eyeshadow primer. I thought I'd just pick it up and try it because I LOVE the NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils. Well its not like the NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils at all. I was really disappointed with this product but I bought it so I have to use it up. Its fine if you only need to have the eyeshadow on for a couple hours. I say this because its creases like crazy!It only lasts about 3-4 hours. The eyeshadow doesn't stick onto the primer and 3-4 hours later you hardly see any of the colour or the blending effect. It looks like you just slapped on a whole bunch of different shades and just blended them all together. I have tried using less product and using more product and both of the times it creased! I would not recommend this product but the good thing about the NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skintone is that it covers everything! I definitely wouldn't use it as a eyeshadow primer but I would use it as a concealer! It also dries to a nice finish. I have read reviews online and they say the same thing about it! I would have to say its a definite FAIL. I am very disappointed at this product and will not purchase it again.
