Hey ladies Im here to give you a quick review on the new base I recently got from NYX, I've had this for about 2 weeks now and I think Ive used it enough to be able to do a good review on it..so just to let you know these are just my thoughts and opinions based on my experience with this product; it may work better or worst for you :D
The one I have is in skintone
Price:$6
Where to buy: NYX Cosmetics, Cherryculture, Nonpareilboutique.com, and any other places NYX is soldPros:
- Only $6
- alot of product [7g] for the price..contains more than a MAC PP[5g]
- comes in a jar as opposed to UDPP or loreal decrease
- can be easly applied with fingers or a brush
- make eyeshadows pop
- blends into your skin very smoothly
- a little goes along way
- can be used as a concealer, base, primer
- looks & smells just like the "NYX concealer in a jar" [almost the exact same ingredients]
- costs more than the concealer in a jar which is the exact same thing
- only comes in 3 shades [white;same as NYX's JEP in milk, pearl, and skintone]
- definitely not 100% crease proof, Ive never wear my makeup for more than 6 hrs, it started creasing a little by the sixth hr

see it looks exactly like a concealer
blends very nicely
Example: I swatched an elf e/s, as u can see it really make the e/s more vibrant
[compared to other primers]
Final Verdict:
I don't think I will be repurchasing this base again...if I do decide to try this again I'd rather just buy a concealer..lol!! I do like the price and the fact that it does the job but seriously why buy this when its just a concealer!! It doesnt do anything special that any other concealer wouldnt do if used as a primer, I do love the packaging, the fact that you can use all the product without struggling, so there you have it..my quick review...
if you have anymore questions let me know :D
♥Thanx for Reading♥

Ooh, I've been interested in this item for awhile but I don't think the reviews are very good ;( Oh well.
LOL! I was interested in white.
Milk Jumbo Eye Pencil is a lot cheaper though.
I hope Cherry Culture offers free shipping soon so I can haul tons of NYX goodies!!
it sounds like a weird product. I agree with you, might as well buy the concealer which you can also use as a base for your eyeshadow.
Thanks for an awesome review Sofee!
LOL! Why does it look like the concealer in a jar? o_O That's stupid of nyx! They're trying to ruin their credibility haha xD You should've done a swatch on UDPP or something to see how it compares to the nyx and to the no base :) Oh well, great review though! I probably won't be buying this even if I wasn't overloaded with bases ^_^
Well that sucks. I thought the e/s base would be great. I agree with you, if it's not very distinctive compared to the concealer, why buy this? I still want to try the pearl one though.
Thank you so much for following my blog... urs in great. im following urs too : )
hmm. Interesting. 6 hours is... not bad I suppose? I haven't found a good eyeshadow base that doesn't crease after 4 hours. Actually currently I'm using red earth and it's actually pretty good. But ones I've used before ie MAC and sephora brand suckssss I find!
