I was asked on twitter to more posts to help people find some good products across the range from drugstore to luxury so i thought i would do this post today on Cream Bases/Eyeshadows.
Bases are used to either even out the lids before eyeshadow application, control oil on the lids or to add more colour before applying eyeshadow. Usually i will use a base either nude or coloured just to make sure the eyeshadow sticks better and also to make sure its more true to colour it also helps to make your makeup last long as you are layering products which also help to stop creasing
Top Row- Laura Mercier Eye Canvas, Chanel Illusion D'ombre, Tom Ford Cream Colour for Eyes Middle Row- New CID Cosmetics i-colour, MAC Paintpot Bottom Row- Maybelline Colour Tattoo, Me Me Me Dew Pot |
Ive picked 12 different bases from a range of different brands some costing as low as £4 to some costing around £25+ each of them i really like and are bases i use in my kit quite a lot, i will break them down below show some swatches so you can see the difference between the brands
From Left to Right Laura Mercier Eye Canvas in EC2- £22.50 ($26) Chanel Illusion D'ombre in Fantasme- £24 ($36) Tom Ford Cream Colour for Eyes in Spice- £28 ($42) |
All of the above products set apart from the Illusion D'ombre which seems to set but the glitter doesn't as if you rub your eyes it will move and go everywhere
These products are still really high in quality and tend to last quite long, you will love the New CID Cosmetics i-colour is you want a wash of colour to then apply something over the top as they work together to create some gorgeous textures and colours, the MAC Paint Pot i use is Painterly and is mostly used to even out someones lids or to be used as a base for apply eyeshadow onto so the powder sticks and you can see its full vibrancy
These don't really set as much as others do but applying a powder shadow on top of them you should have a problem
From Left to Right Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Light in Purple -£4.99 ($6.99) Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Permanent Taupe £4.99 ($6.99) Me Me Me Dew Pot in Autumn Smoulder- £7.25 ($11) |
All of these have really good lasting power the Colour tattoo's set so they won't move at all.
What are your favourite bases?
Do you think it really price matters so long as it works?
