This is one of the greatest forms of eye makeup out there. I
This is one of the greatest forms of eye makeup out there. I use it as a base for whatever eye shadow I'm using. If you buy a shade near your skin color, it won't distort the color of your eye shadow, but it will keep it from creasing or smearing for literally days, if need be. Whenever I sleep over...

It has too much sparkle and all I wanted was a primer base for powdered eye shadow so I returned it. Sorry

I really like this product. It goes on nicely and looks good under Clinique eyeshadow. I find that it helps eyeshadow go on smoothly and stay on all day.
I can't believe they sell this.
I have used all sorts of eye primers and mixing mediums on myself and others. My favorite right now is Laura Mercier. Lorac is good, too (actually dries clear on deep skin tones!). This one, I just have no idea how it's an eyeshadow primer!! It had sort of a greasy texture that never really seemed to set and dry down on my eyelids, which are hooded. Then basically it made everything I put on over it crease, smudge, break down, or fade away and disappear. I know it wasn't operator error. I know how to apply different eye primers. This one had the effect of basically applying a tiny amount of oil before applying my eye products. Obviously, the results were worse than using nothing at all. I see a lot of people saying that theirs dried out. I can't speak to that. As much as I have loved at least 85% of the Clinique products I have used, this one was genuinely so bafflingly useless that after using it a few times I have no idea if I threw it away or what. Also, I really dislike that one must stick their finger or a brush into the entire product. Seems like that would become bacteria city.
Canvas Light

Reviewed at

I am fairly certain that I threw away Canvas Light in the late 80s, finding it too thick, pasty, and warm, but I rather like it now. The formula is silky and smooth, a light, cool-leaning lemon with tiny microshimmers that are so fine and subtle that they create more of an opalescent glow than notable shimmer -- and I am a lifelong satin or matte eyeshadow fan. I believe yellow is used on eyelids to counter hyperpigmentation. I like that I can wear Canvas Light on its own as an eye brightener or under powder eyeshadow as a primer. Like many other reviewers, I wish Uplighting was still available. That one was a repeat purchase for me, an outstanding "one and done" eyeshadow. I'd like to see Clinique expand the range of shades in this product, maybe a shell pink or ivory for light skin tones and something rich for deeper skin tones.

I feel this product started out dry. I can barely get it on my finger without gouging deep into the product. What can hydrate it a bit? Not impressed at all.
