Review: NYX Eyeshadow Base**EDIT**




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 sold

Pros:
  • 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
Cons
  • 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
