Essence I love Stage Eyeshadow Base Review

This is the best eyeshadow primer! I use this and like it far better than my Urban Decay and Smashbox primers - and it is so inexpensive compared to the others I just mentioned.

I really like the colour of this as it completely covers any discolouration on my lids. It has a nice matte finish and doesn't feel sticky or tacky which I have experienced with some other brands and am not a fan of.

It blends nicely - and most importantly it does make a noticeable difference to the brightness of colour and longevity of my shadow.

The little applicator makes this really easy to apply as well. I dab it onto my eyelids then blend out with my finger.

This primer is in a neutral light taupe shade. It is quite opaque, but blends into the eye area easily (although you really don't need much!). It has a flexible doe foot applicator. I quite like using this primer just on its own on eyeshadow free days, as it covers any discolouration or veins on my eyelid. It is a few shades darker than my natural skin tone (very fair) so gives the impression of a light nude eyeshadow, although on other skin tones this may not provide any pigmentation. I sourced this from the priceline website as have not found any local farmers stockists.

I actually loved this product. I did find it was quite pigmented, which one on hand, for dark shadows, is great and provides a flawless base and coverage, however, for lighter shadows I found it slightly altered the colour. This wasn't enough to put me off though, as I do find it helps keep my eyeshadow, and liner, stay put all day, and hide all of my discolouration over my eyelids.

I was extremely sceptical when I first got this, but it was pretty cheap and I needed a primer as my eyeshadow seems to fade off pretty quickly.

It comes in a cute small tube, and the little wand helps you apply just enough on each eye - I do think it sometimes has abit too much product and you only need a dot of it. It blends into your skin pretty well and I love it because it creates an even colour and a perfect colour base! It DOES what it is meant to do, and this is why I rate this product so highly - it allows the eyeshadow to stick to it, and helps fight off any flaking etc..

I would rebuy this, and I would recommend all the girls to try this out, it is affordable and does what any other high end brand primer does.

This product is definitely a must have if you love putting on eyeshadow. It has a great consistency and there is no need to use a lot of the product because a little can be enough. When I first tried it I was amazed by how different my eyeshadow looked. The colours popped out and it doesn't crease! Simply perfect.

I had heard great things of this primer and as someone with oily eyelids I was excited to try this affordable primer! However this base was far too yellow and dark for my skin to work, when I tried it something looked off. Instead I gave it to my sister who enjoys it

I don't know how to use this product properly but it makes my eyeshadow look much better. Plus, it's soft and would make my eyes look great without eyshadow.

I have really oily eyelids so I picked this up to try out after my last primer ran out. I'm so glad to have purchased this as it is amazing even though its so cheap. You only need to apply a tiny bit with your fingers and your eyeshadow will apply seamlessly and wont crease all day. It's a nice nude colour so doesn't affect your eyeshadow colours or anything. The product isn't overly thick and blends out well.

Love this product!

I just bought it because it was cheep and wanted to try something new!

I love the wand that you apply with it makes the product super easy to apply and blend out with fingers. I must say its a little dark for my skin but once i put my eye shadow on its unnoticeable and just makes my choice of eye shadow pop!

For the price i think this is a great product and it does what its meant to do!

Great consistency, smell, price and applicator, made shadow stay out and even worked well under eyes to keep concealer in place. Highly reccomend
