I love using this as a base for my eyes before applying the eye shadow on. It makes the shadow sit in place and it also helps layer the eye shadow for more contrast if needed. I love using this when going out because it won't move my eye shadow and it will remain until the end of the night!!!

I purchased a pot of this in the colour Groundworks from the Mac store in Botany. A young man served me and I told him I want an eyeshadow that acts as my base and stays on all day. He sat me down on one of the chairs and proceeded to brush this eye colour all over my eyelid and I loved it right there and then. I left the store without purchasing it at that time because I wanted to make sure it was going to last before I spent my money. Anyway I was back in the store the next day and bought it. Have worn it everyday since then. Its creamy texture is so easy to apply and yes it lasts throughout my work day. I paid $37 for it and I feel I got my money's worth. I'm going to buy myself another one but in a different colour to compliment and add to the one I've bought. No creases either...yay.
Tips: According to the guy that sold me the pot, you can use this as your primer as well. Tried it and it works for me.
It's a great primer for your eyeshadows, but I feel like it creases really easy if you wear it just by itself. My eyelids are quite oily so cream-like products always crease on me, so setting it with a loose powder or to prime with eyeshadows works best for me. It's still a great primer never the less, just would'nt recommend to wear it on it's own if you have oily eyelids like myself.
I have two of these - Groundwork (soft neutral brown) and Vintage Selection (pinky champagne). I use Groundwork on its own all over my lid, and will sometimes layer Vintage Selection on top. The best thing about these is they do not crease on me, which I find incredible. I apply them with my fingers and find them easy to blend. They are expensive but will last forever!
love using this product as a base for my eyeshadows, works as an amzing primer to keep the shadows and liner on all day instead of fading out over the day! perfect to use when youve got a long day at work or where ever and dont have time for touch ups, or a night out!
Tips: a little goes a long way- so be careful to not take too much out of the pot as you dont wanna waste that high end product! money does grow on trees!
I use the shade soft ochre as an eye primer under eye shadow daily. I find the colour a good match to my nc15 skin. This does not crease on me and I find it lasts all day looking the way it did when I first applied. This products only downfall is that it can sometimes appear uneven or patchy when applied.
The skin on my eyes can get really dry and using this product on dry skin is a definite no-no. It grabs and emphasise any dry patches on me. But when my skin behaves, it's a great base for eyeshadow or can be pretty just on it's own. It is a bit pricey, but if you don't leave the lid off (that will dry it out) it can last a while and be worth the investment.
It is really good to prime your eyes but shouldn't be used by itslef as i've found it creases quite badly. On the plus side it is easy to apply and feels good on the skin.
Tips: use with other colors over the top to decrease chances of creasing
I always use this as a base for any eyeshadow when applying makeup it provides a long lasting colour of whatever eyeshadow you have used on top of the base and it wont crease, I love it but I would never use this alone as an eye colour.
Tips: Use as a base!
wow this is the most long lasting eyeshadow base and primer! Love love love it! helps my eyeshadow last longer, slides on smoothly and i cant recommend it enough. you need one in your life if you havent already tried it
Tips: get a colour similar to your skin colour - good options are soft orche or painterly if you want to use as a primer and put eyeshadow on top
