I am one of those people who have horribly oily eyelids and considering I’m an eyeshadow lover, this is a terrible thing. For a long time, I tried to avoid giving in to the gimmick of an eyeshadow primer and bought as many crew eyeshadow products as I could, however I soon realised that they started to crease of my and melt away even faster. So, without very much reluctance, I started my journey down the long road of eyeshadow primers.
The one that I knew I wanted was the NARS Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base. I also quickly discovered that I was lusting after the NARS ‘And God Created The Woman’ Eye Palette which came with a sample size of the eyeshadow primer for free, all in time for Christmas – perfect.
Even though I adore eyeshadow, I don’t wear it on a daily basis due to not being in the mood sometimes and of course because it’s a faff to put on before school on lazy mornings, so my opinions on this eyeshadow base aren’t going to be as in-depth as other reviews that I’ve seen but I can tell you that this is perfect. If you’ve tried the Urban Decay Primer Potion and have deemed it too creamy and heavy on your eyelids, then this is a much better alternative. Not only is the consistency lightweight but I also find that it blurs the imperfections on my eyelids due to the skin on your eyelids being pretty thin, making colours that are layered on top stand out a lot more.
Other little notes of mine about this product is that the packaging is rubberised like the vast majority of Nars products, and then I will most certainly be repurchasing this again as soon as I feel as though I start running out.
If you’re reading this post on the day of upload then keep your eyes peeled for a makeup tutorial going up on my YouTube channel tomorrow that includes this primer and the ‘And God Created The Woman’ eyeshadow palette (link to my channel here).

I've been using the Urban Decay Primer Potion for almost seven years now (OMG, I'm so old) but I think you just convinced me to try this primer! I think I'll like that it's so lightweight! Thanks!!
