Eye Primer Reviews

For years I always used MARY KAY's eye primer because BareMinerals by Bare Escentuals did not come out with theirs until recently. When B.E. came out with a primer, I swtiched, because I was obsessively BE. I have never had c
omplaints about either, except that MK is clear and BE is a very light skin color. I have been on the lookout for a primer/base that will brighten my eye colors and provide a little more coverage. 





I have heard great things about NYX Cosmetics and came across their eye base a while ago while shopping in L.A. I am in love! I bought the white ($8) and it is exactly what I have been looking for. It provides a thicker coverage, so my colors are brighter (especially since they're going on top of white instead of skin color), and I think it would be great for anyone who has discoloration on their lids. It is really creamy, provides a long lasting hold and my eye colors blend so much better. I often have issues with BE colors spreading, but not with the NYX eye base. I have not come cross any stores nearby that sell NYX (Ulta) but the next time I come across a place that does carry them, I will definitely be trying their other eye bases and products. Love love love!!!!


Too Faced Cosmetics Eye Insurance eye primer...I received four samples of the skin colored eye primer at IMATS and decided to try it while I was in vegas. I liked that it was really creamy, easy to glide on my lids and it was a good shade if youre looking for skin colored eye primer. BUT i had the same reaction as I did with the e.l.f. Cosmetics eye primer- it dried out my skin. It was awfully harsh and my lids and the skin between from my crease to my brow still dont look hydrated and happy. If you have any sensitivity I dont recommend using it. If you want a skin colored primer, stick with BareMinerals by Bare Escentuals!
