Hi Buddies
Today we’re going to be talking
about some difference between eyeshadow primer and eyeshadow base. It’s a subject that get a lot of professional
makeup artist confuse especially when starting to building their working kit.
The number one thing you can do is to have both in your kit and for personal
use.
Examples of Low end & high end eyeshadow primers :

Eyeshadow Primer
From my little research as a certified makeup Artist, eyeshadow primers are mostly invisible on the skin due to their neutral color. They’re mostly light weight cream or emulsion which is applied to the eyelids as first layer before eye makeup begins. They’re used for the following reasons.
- Acts as a
barrier between your skin and products
- In the
cause of matte primers, they seal the oils from the eyelids
- Helps to
ensure longevity of your eye makeup.
- Prevents
creasing and fading.
- They also
create a smooth base for an even application
- In the
case of discolored lids, they even them out.
Some examples of popular brands
which includes inexpensive but great ones

Eyeshadow Bases
These bases are often creams in
pencil & pot forms whose main role is to intensify the color of your
shadow. They also help to create a
smooth even base. When combined properly with eyeshadow primer they work
amazingly great. It’s always advice to use them after donning on your eyeshadow
primer.

Some great information to know.
- For your
bright colored eyeshadow to pop more, use light colored eye base like
white.
- Avoid
applying more than a single layer whenever possible.
- For
natural looks, use eye base alone on the lid and a light skin tone eye
shadow.
- Skin
tones bases or natural ones are more universal to use.
