Most Helpful Positive Review Must-have eye primer I have been using this eye primer for about a month, and I can't see me going back to any other primer. At first, I was a little concerned because it is a drier formula, and I would classify my eyelids as a little on the drier side already. But it actually spreads very easily, smooths the skin, and covers eye discoloration. But beyond that, I work a 12 hour shift, which means start to removal I have my makeup on around 14-hours a day. I have yet to find any primer that keeps my shadow on better than this one, and believe me, I've tried all the big ones (Urban Decay, Too Faced, even P. Louise). I will say I usually apply a bit of TF glitter glue over the top of this when using shimmers/glitters on my lids. I'm not sure if it's really necessary, but it's a little extra insurance for a long day, and I want my shadow to still look amazing in the 11th hour.
Most Helpful Critical Review Nothing extraordinary. I bought this primer thinking it would beat my Smashbox 24Hr primer but I was wrong. I find it this primer very decent but not worth the price. It doesn't last more than 4 hours on my oily eyelids and it creases. I can see it creasing since I apply it and I can still see even more creasing after an hour wearing my eyeshadow. Not sure if this is more recommendable for dry skin than oily, but not working for my oily skin type in the humid weather of Texas. Only the smashbox 24 hr still the only one working for my skin type. Give it a try if you're dry skin.

I really really like this and the fact that it is tinted makes it even better. I was never able to do the concealer on eyelids trick that I see many people doing because my lids are sooooo oily. This primer helps so much and is very long-lasting. I would say it lasted 6-8 hours for me, which is amazing. No primer has lasted this long for me.
It's really great 5
Sam from New York, NY
I was surprised by how long-lasting this was, I would say it lasted 6-8 hours for me. Usually, primers do not keep my lids oil-free and crease-free but this one does. Would definitely recommend for anyone that has super oily lids. So far it's been the only thing I've found that has worked this well.
This is my holy grail eyeshadow base 5
SmokeyEye from SoCal
I love the painterly and soft ochre paint pots from Mac— but honestly this is superior. I use this base early in the morning and my eye makeup hasn't moved 12 hours later. Cross my heart!
Nice but .... 4

Like not loved more of a fan of MAC Eye Paint that they discontinued a couple of years ago. I switched to Paint Pot. More flexibility with the pai t pot product.
Great for oily lids 5
Mary from Sacramento
I was a loyal to the primer potion from UD but as I got older my lids got oilier. This works amazing and it doesn't crease at all. It is pricier for an eye primer but worth it.
This stuff is awesome 5
Sarah from Illinois
This is the best base I've used, and I've used many. It is a great base, keeps my eye makeup in place all day.
Drying 2
Chrissy from PNW
I'm a big fan of the regular Nars smudgeproof base but it is clear. I wanted something that can help block out the redness and veins on my eyelids so I decided to try this one. I'm not really a fan. Doesn't matter how I prep my eyelids, with this they always look so dry. I also don't feel any tackiness with this but it does keep eyeshadows on the lid for the whole day. Not so good for glittery shadows though. It doesn't stick to this cuz like I said, it's not tacky. I would not purchase again and honestly would not recommend.
Oily eyelids need this 5
Mary from California
I used to swear by the urban decay primer potion but I think they changed the formula because it stopped working for me. I heard great things about this one but I thought it was way too expensive. I purchased it when I had a coupon and because NARS hardly ever goes on sale! And I love it! I love that they have different colors for all skin tones and it keeps my eyeshadow from creasing. Definitely worth the price!
Does it job, but is just okay. Not great and not worth price 3
Kristin from USA
I got this at the recommendation of an associate, because my HG from urban decay was discontinued and i was searching for a replacement. I have been using this for months, and only recently have i realized why i have been struggling to blend my eyeshadow more than usual. Its this base. Now, it does its job. My shadows stay pigmented, do not crease or fade, and last for hours. But applying them on this base is just kind of more difficult than other bases i have used before. I hate-panned this and have been using a mac paint pot instead. Will not be repurchasing and is NOT A DUPE for my HG primer.

Tried it and will try it again 4

I use this everyday to keep my eye shadow looking/feeling fresh.
Great 5
Carmen from VIEQUES, PR
It's very pricey, but it does the job. I have combination skin from normal to oily and that makes my eyes oily too. I tried other primers and only last it 5 hours and that for me is much. But this one gone beyond that mark and without creasing and believe I live in Puerto Rico it's humid the all year.
