I tend to get watery eyes, and it's the shape of my eyes, so my eyeliner and eyeshadow tend to smudge and disappear at the outer corners of my eyes. I've tried a variety of affordable eyeshadow bases. The price has risen to over ¥4,000, which is honestly a bit pricey for an eyeshadow base, but this one keeps my eyeshadow looking its best. The texture is somewhere between a cream and a liquid, and I apply just a little on the tip to my eyelid and quickly spread it. A tiny amount is enough, and it's naturally smooth, so it's not sticky. With moisturizing eyeshadow bases, my eyeshadow tends to accumulate in the crease of my double eyelid and end up looking messy. This eyeshadow base is resistant to tears and sebum, making it perfect for my watery eyes and oily skin. If I use it on work days, my eye makeup stays in place until the evening after I apply it in the morning. The only noticeable change is that my eyeshadow color may have faded a little. Of course, it fades quite a bit after a day at Disney, but I've given up on those days (lol). I love eye makeup, so I had a lot of problems: it pools in the crease of my double eyelid, smudges, my eyeliner transfers to my lower lid, and my eyeliner disappears at the outer corner of my eye... Using this product has really reduced those problems, and I've started to love eye makeup even more. It seems like 4,000 yen for this size?! But it lasts a long time, so maybe it's not such a bad value. It would be better if I could see how much is left. Lately, it's become so dry I can't even tell if it's even on (lol). There are some affordable products that I feel are good for the price, but they just can't compete with NARS, so I've stopped trying out different products and just use this one. I even bought one to stock up on. I'd like to buy MAC's eyeshadow base sometime and compare them.
