NYX Eye Shadow Base

I got this because I was buying a NYX concealer and NYX products were buy one, get one 50% off at ULTA. This NYX Eye Shadow Base had really good reviews online and looked like a good product to help make my eye shadow color look more intense. The product also claims to help color last longer. They come in three varieties: white, pearl, and skin tone. I chose white because I feel that it would really help those lighter colors really show through on my skin. This product costs $6.99 at ULTA.

The white base claims to make colors 100x more vivid. The brand also claims to be cruelty free. It's a small container but a little can go a long way. It really does apply on as an opaque white. The texture is very creamy and I don't believe it has any sort of fragrance to it. On the picture below, the product just by itself is swatched on the very left. It is a very intense bright white.

To use as an example, I used the color "nude" from my Lorac Pro Palette. The color "nude" by itself is swatched on the very right. It does apply on very sheer with a hint of shimmer. When using the NYX eye shadow base, the color is made really intense. Now you will need to use quite a bit of eye shadow to completely cover up the white. However, you can now see the color almost exactly as it looks on the palette where the eye shadow is packed. I was actually caught off guard by how well this worked the first time because it made my eye shadow super vivid. The powder really sticks very well to this base that blending all the colors was more difficult. It's manageable though, I just wasn't used to it. This product is really awesome and very affordable. I would definitely recommend this white NYX Eye Shadow Base.
