MakeupAlley Review: NYX HD Eye Shadow Base






Things to Rave About

  • Urban Decay Primer Potion Dupe: "I believe that this is a great dupe for Urban Decay Primer Potion. It has the same consistency, applies the same, is the same color - feels and looks exactly the same. At $7, this is a great buy for the same product." by lexijojohnson
  • Eliminates Oily Eyelids: "Stop looking for another eyeshadow primer! This is HG material. I have very oily skin (confirmed by my sister, the aesthetician) and have tried to combat this with many different bases. I've used L'Oreal De-Crease, MAC paints, Urban Decay Primer Potion, ELF, and most recently Too Faced Shadow Insurance for a while. I found that on my oily lids, TFSI performed better than UDPP, but it still wasn't standing the test of my 10 hour workdays. However, the NYX HD primer does! I put on my face at 7AM and usually come home at 5ish. It even lasts through my post-work cardio at the  gym! I started using this primer at the beginning of this week and couldn't believe when I looked in the mirror at the end of the day. I had zero creasing and no oiliness on my lids! My shadow still looked as crisp and blended as it had before I left the house! If you feel like your lids are an oil factory, please give this product a shot. If it can stand up to my lids, it can withstand almost anything!" by BurgundyMist
  • Intensifies Eye Makeup: "It holds my shadow and liner on like iron and it doesn't make my shadow look weird or thick over the top of it. It's also easy to blend over. Really brings the color and sheen out, especially in shadows that otherwise seemed to not be very pigmented or shimmery." by taurusgurl5984

Things to Rant About

  • Greasy: "When I first applied it, it felt really greasy and it didn't "dry" on my lids. It left my eyelids so sticky I had to powder them to be able to put my eye shadow on. I don't think the crease color would have blended nicely on a greasy, sticky primer." TheUnforgiven
  • Not Waterproof: "This definitely doesn't waterproof the eyeshadow. The color will slide off if you get caught in the rain or splash your face with water." by farfarella

  7. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can
    survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
    sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  8. Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this website?
    I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  17. Mounting kits, easy plug and play wiring systems, and other power
    electronics, are also some of the features that all combine to help you harness solar
    energy and convert it to useful electricity.
    Anyone who promises to use the solar panels to fend for a good portion of his household's electrical needs is entitled
    to enjoy the solar panels rebate. Solar energy facts usually are conveniently available on the internet.

  18. But Cydelete is an applications which makes you skip every one of these steps.

    After this, you have to goto Companies and look for the "Shell Hardware Detection" region.
