Reviews about NYX Professional Makeup High Definition Eye Shadow Base

I purchased this base based on the reviews. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I didn't see anything special about this base. The shadows blend and stay the same as with a concealer and powder. At first, I didn't understand what the issue was with darker shades because I have well-pigmented shadows, but they started to apply as a semi-transparent layer no matter how many layers I applied. Then I realized that the problem was with the base, as I don't have such problems with concealer and powder. It is great for a light makeup, but not suitable for a smoky look, for example. Moreover, the base has an unpleasant scent. My conclusion: it's not a bad product, but if I already have a concealer and powder, why do I need something else? I won't buy it again :)

The foundation does not cake, the shadows last all day, but they blend poorly. This product is not very clear to me.

My first eyeshadow base. I bought it on the eve of New Year for evening makeup. Well, the makeup bravely lasted until morning :) The eyeshadows apply easily, blend well, and don't fall out. However, it also depends on the quality of the eyeshadows, and honestly, I didn't notice any significant difference between using a concealer and powder (which I always use) and using this base. I will continue trying it out, maybe this purchase will prove itself, but I won't order it again.

The foundation is really good, it applies thinly, and the eyeshadows last all day, even on days when I go to the gym. After applying, it is necessary to let it dry before applying the eyeshadows. Overall, I am satisfied.

I'm not really impressed with this primer. I don't quite understand why it has received a 5-star rating. I have been using it for a few months, applying varying amounts and letting it dry for different lengths of time, but it just doesn't give me the desired result. The problem is that it's impossible to properly layer dark eyeshadows on it. The shadows end up looking lighter and more transparent compared to other primers, like Artdeco or Bell. I have tried many different primers, and while this one is not bad, it doesn't really suit my needs. The eyeshadows only stay on for around 4-5 hours, which may be enough for some people, but not for me. I have oily eyelids with slight hooding. I get a patch of lightness around the crease, as if the shadows are fading away. They don't really settle into the crease, they just disappear somewhere. This means that the area that should be the darkest on the eyelid becomes the lightest after a few hours. This is quite critical for hooded eyelids. After drying, the eyeshadows blend well overall. This primer does dry out the eyelid skin a bit, but not more than many other primers. And for oily eyelids, it could even be a plus, but it depends on the person. Maybe this review will be helpful for someone making a choice.

I recently purchased this cosmetic product for the first time. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I am satisfied with the results. I bought it together with the brand's eyeshadows, and the makeup stays on throughout the day. The first time, I applied too much product up to my eyebrows, which emphasized all the creases, but if you apply a little bit and only to the area where the eyeshadows end, it works great.

I had such a great experience with this product. It fulfilled all of its functions perfectly. I will definitely purchase it again.

This base is really awesome!

Saves eyelid makeup when your eyelids are droopy. Stays on all day.

The product performs its task exceptionally well. Previously, I used "Artdeco," but I was not satisfied with the jar format as it would dry out quickly. Here, everything is great.

Unlike Artdeco, it did not cause any allergies. It stays perfectly on the eyes, I apply it with an applicator and blend it with a brush. I always set it with a little powder. The eyeshadows stay put as if they were nailed down.

I hesitated for a while, but when I finally tried it, I realized that these eyeshadows truly last all day. Without a base, they would usually fade after a couple of hours, but with this one, they stay put. I highly recommend using a good base. These makeup products are the best!

The best eyeshadow base ever! I really loved it. The effect lasts all day, even considering that I have oily skin. I will definitely keep buying it from now on. Highly recommended!

I have never used eyeshadow primers before. I have oily skin, and eyeshadows tend to crease or even smudge on me. But I somehow got used to it because I rarely wear makeup.

I decided to try this primer to test what it is and how it works. And it turned out to be a great find for me! With this primer, from morning till evening, even in hot weather, there was no sign of creasing! It's like some kind of magic.

Overall, I have sensitive skin, and it's very difficult for me to find cosmetics that don't irritate. This primer didn't cause any irritation at all, and I'm extremely happy about it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This product is like having all the stars in the sky! I never expected this. The eyeshadows stay on me all day long! I have oily eyelids, and any eyeshadows usually slide off and crease within 3-4 hours. But with this eyeshadow base, even my not-so-long-lasting Bourjois eyeshadows stay on from morning till evening.

In the photo, this is after 8 hours of wear. You might not see the actual eyeshadows clearly because they are nude shades, but you can see the satin shine evenly spread on my eyelids without any patches or creasing. It's pure love!

In short, I highly recommend it.

Best eyeshadow base. And the eyeliner doesn't smudge on it.
Thank you, Makeup, for the prompt delivery and good prices!

This is simply the perfect foundation. I have tried other foundations for the under eye area before, but they didn't evoke the same enthusiasm. The foundation has a convenient format, it is also very economical, and the eyeshadows stay in place from morning until evening without fading.

Decent product. It is convenient to apply with the applicator (previously used Artdeco bases in jars), although it dries very quickly, so you need to immediately distribute it with your finger on the eyelid. It is flesh-colored, similar to a concealer, and gives a corresponding toning and refreshing effect, so it seems that you can use it without eyeshadows. Eyeshadows and pencils hold just as well as with other bases - not bad, but not super, the effect does not last all day. Overall, satisfied.

The base is amazing. It's my first base, even though I've been doing makeup for a long time. And I'm immediately in awe. It holds eyeshadow perfectly. The main thing is to learn how to apply the eyeshadow correctly right away, so that you have to blend it as little as possible afterwards. But it's not difficult) It lasts all day, doesn't smudge, doesn't crease. It does dry out a bit, so keep that in mind. Towards the end, the eyeshadows become slightly cakey. But I found a solution, and now that's not a problem either)

Great base, everything is fine. I have an Artdeco base in a glass jar with a black lid, and it tends to clump, unlike this one which is super light and didn't cause any allergies. I highly recommend it, especially if you have oily eyelids.

I really liked this product, like, really liked it a lot. I don't feel like trying out other options at the moment.

Great eyeshadow base.
Comparing it to Artdeco, I liked this one more.
Advantages: no shimmer, consistency (it's more liquid and easier to apply), comes with a brush (I apply a small amount with the brush and then blend it with my finger), easier to wash off from hands.
The eyeshadows stay on well, especially the lighter shades, they seem more vibrant.
It blends very well, no noticeable transitions.
Downside: it has a mascara-like shape and I sometimes confuse them.

I really like this primer, it holds the eyeshadows well and the pigments apply smoothly. Therefore, I confidently give it a rating of 4 stars.

Second purchase of this base and it suits my method of applying eyeshadows - a thin layer leaves a slightly powdery finish, but it doesn't completely dry out. In terms of consistency, it's like a very light cream, not much pigment, the color is quite light but far from white. I can't say that the eyeshadows last much longer, they don't completely show up or become significantly brighter, but with this base, it's more comfortable than without it.

Great base! It holds eyeshadow for a long time without smudging. It doesn't cause any discomfort or irritation to the eyes.

The base is superb. There is nothing more to add!

This is my first primer and I am completely satisfied with it. Just a thin layer is enough to make the eyeshadows more vibrant and keep my makeup intact until the evening. It even holds up my eyeliner that used to smudge at the slightest hint of moisture. Maybe for super bright neon shades, it would be better to use a white base because this primer is slightly transparent and only evens out the eyelid tone without overly brightening it. However, for everything else, it is perfect.

This is the best primer I have ever tried. The eyeshadows stay on all day, even on oily eyelids. I highly recommend it.

I really like this primer. It's convenient to apply, there's no need to dig into a jar and then remove it from under the nails. It's long-lasting, the eyeshadows stay on for more than 12 hours, nothing smudges or smears. It feels comfortable on the eyelids, there's no sticky or clay-like sensation on the skin, and the primer doesn't dry out. I have normal skin that tends to be dry.

The base provides a good foundation for eyeshadows, but unfortunately it doesn't affect the longevity on my oily skin. The shadows start to crease by lunchtime. I have no complaints about the store.

Excellent sticky base.

Excellent base!
I apply a thin layer on the entire eyelid and distribute it with my finger.
If I apply something shiny, I don't wait for it to dry, but if it's matte eyeshadow, I wait a minute for it to dry. Then everything blends easily, without clumping, and you can't see any transitions between the skin and the base. On oily eyelids, the eyeshadow lasts until I remove my makeup (usually more than 12 hours).
It has never let me down. It's almost finished now, but the quality hasn't changed. It lasts for about six months of regular use. I've already bought a backup.

I have been using this base for about two months now. It took me a while to decide what rating to give it. For years, I have been using a concealer that I powder and then apply eyeshadow, pencil, or eyeliner on top of. Well, with this base, I didn't notice any special brightness or longer-lasting makeup. This base doesn't make any sense to me since my makeup stays the same on top of the concealer.

I have been buying this primer for a long time and I used to love it for its rich, moist finish that greatly enhanced the brightness of even the weakest eyeshadows. I recently bought it again, but the formula is completely different now! The primer has become very ordinary, it quickly absorbs and leaves my eyelids almost dry. Many shimmers now don't adhere well, I have to use Duraline or a glitter base. If you are looking for a regular primer that is widely available on the market, go ahead, but if you want that famous NYX HD primer, just pass by. It's a pity that the manufacturer ruined such a good product.

The eyeshadows last for about 3 hours, so it's not the best option for oily eyelids. The only thing it does is even out the color of the eyelids and make the eyeshadows slightly brighter. However, this is not enough considering how quickly the eyeshadows turn into a mess and crease. It also doesn't work well for drawing eyeliner unless you powder it on top. It may only be suitable for dry or normal eyelids, but I will continue my search.

This is a great product! I apply a small amount with my fingers, and after a few minutes, the chosen eyeshadows and eye makeup look as fresh as in the morning. The primer is also very economical; I have been using it every day for six months and there is still some left.

Great base for hooded eyes with intense oiliness and shine. I am writing a review after testing it for a whole workday and until the evening. The eyeshadows did not crease, and my eyelids remained matte. Sometimes, I felt a slight tightening of the skin, but it did not cause any significant discomfort. I highly recommend it.

I liked the base, it's worth buying (not Artdeco in a jar, of course, but a "close relative").
The eyeshadows stay in place and don't smudge, but they don't add brightness to the color. It's very economical to use.

I really liked the base. The eyeshadows stay on and don't smudge. I ordered one for my mom too.

Amazing base, the texture allows for easy distribution of a minimal amount on the eyelid, then it sets as if frozen, making the skin velvety and keeping the eyeshadow on all day. I liked it much more than the Artdeco base.
