Many of the makeup gurus on YouTube demonstrate using a white base to make eyeshadow more vibrant and true to color. And many of them use NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk but must apply an eyeshadow primer under that to prevent creasing. Well, now NYX has a white eyeshadow base that makes eyeshadows appear brighter and more vibrant while helping it to last longer, and prevent creasing...without the extra layer of eyeshadow primer underneath!
I didn't think to look at the ingredients before purchasing this product. When it arrived, I looked at the ingredient list to find that the 3rd ingredient is mineral oil. That put me off a bit because mineral oil can cause creasing and usually causes a product to melt or fade more quickly. Well, I used this 3 days in a row with different brightly colored eyeshadows and I was surprised to find that it works quite well.
The texture is very creamy and blends out to a velvety matte white. The eyeshadows showed up bright and vibrant and lasted 8+ hours without creasing. NYX also has a skintone and a pearl version of this same product, both of which I intend to purchase at some point! (The winner of my NYX giveaway will be receiving this product in skin tone!) This is a great alternative to Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance if you are looking for something a little easier on the budget. The white is great for brightly colored eyeshadows. If you never wear brightly colored shadows, I would recommend the skin tone or pearl shades. For just $6.00, this is something I would definitely purchase again. In the swatches below you can see the difference the white base makes in the vibrancy of this blue eyeshadow.
