beauty review Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow base THUMBNAIL

WHAT: Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow base is part of the cult brand’s Pro-Prime Collection – designed for the dedicated make-up user. The lightweight eye primer was created to provide a “seamless canvas” to help retain cream and powder eyeshadow colours looking fresh all day, without smudging, creasing or caking.

REVIEW: I love makeup, but most especially I love eye make-up, particularly eyeshadow. It’s just so much fun to play with all those lovely colours. However one of my biggest bugbears is with the tendency for eye colours – both cream and powder – to fade, crease and even completely disappear in Singapore’s hot and humid weather.

I’d heard great things about the Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow base and was jumping for joy when I finally got my hands on it; and I wasn’t disappointed.

This is a fabulous product, particularly if you have trouble with “greasy” eyelids – where you just can’t seem to get any eye make-up to stick. The texture is a little “tacky” or glue-like but remarkably this eye primer doesn’t dry out your eye area despite being able to “grab” just about anything you put on it.

However the colour of the primer is quite “white” if you don’t blend well; which is fine if you want a neutral base to add your colour to, but if you’re a little too generous you’ll end up with a chalky undertone to your eyeshadow and under-eye area.

Be sparing in its use, the Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow base goes a long way with a small amount; but you do need to blend quickly once applied as it drys off in about a minute.

This product is perfect if you’re going to be out all day and into the night – fab for the festive or party season – and it’s especially good for anyone who’s running around in the hot weather. I’m completely smitten with the Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow base, it’s managed to keep hold of the most light and elusive eyeshadows for up to 12 hours; I’m in love.
