- Q
Would this help to prevent mascara from smudging on my eyelids?
- Asked by Misti R
- Official Answer By Clinique USClinique Touch Base For Eyes Eyeshadow Primer is best for applying under eye shadow to give them more longer wear. It will not impact mascara application. We recommend Clinique High Impact Zero Gravity Mascara. This formula resists rain, sweat, humidity, and tears, yet rinses off easily with warm water, thanks to Clinique's poly-thermal technology. It is also a non-flaking formula with 24-hour wear.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What is the best way to apply this? I have long nails and I feel it would be difficult to apply with only a finger as this application would take precision over the delicate eye area. I loved this product when it came in a tube, but sadly it was discontinued a few years back.
- Asked by RG
- Official Answer By Clinique USWe're happy to help! Clinique Touch Base for Eyes Eyeshadow Primer can be applied with the Clinique Concealer Brush. Gently sweep the brush over the product to pick up colour. Feather it over your lid and blend. It can be worn alone to add color and glimmer or layer under eye shadow as a base.

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...

LOST WITHOUT UPLIGHTING TOUCHBASE!!!!
Obviously by looking at the many comments below, you need to return Uplighting Touchbase to your selection stock! I am lost without it!!! I cannot believe you have discontinued this product.

I think it does a good job as a base so my liner doesn't crease. Next time I will get a different color just in case I want to wear it by itself. I am taking other people's suggestion and keeping the little protective adhesive over the material to avoid it from drying out. Seems to be working so far
Great
Absolutely love this product been using it for over 50 years keep it available 👍💯🙏
If I could only had 1 makeup item this would be it.
Touch base is the best eye shadow primer around. I've been using Clinique products for 30 years and I've tried other eyeshadow base products but this one is far superior. It provides soft, smooth coverage and keeps my shadow in place all day. I love that it comes in different colors and it could honestly be worn by itself for a clean smooth look.
I use this product and recommend it
Use this product all the time
Unfortunately it dries, can't use them.
