I generally use this as a base - and it makes the pigments of the shadows stick ALL day. I tried this on my hand once at the counter with aquadisiac + electric eel over it and it WOULD NOT come...

Not sure what I did wrong the first time I tried this(I'm guessing it was the fact I tried to apply straight from the stick on to my eyelid) but I thought it was horrible..Made my lids look...

Wonderful, kept my eyeshadow on all day and the swatch I tested on my hand still hasn't left yet! It's been days! Helps my eye shadow to stay on and to look more vibrant. LOVE IT!

I love this product. I use it as a base under my e/s. Not only does it make the colors pop but it keeps it from creasing all day. I would definitely recommend.

I bought this as a base for putting my eye shadow on. I was told that it helped make the color stay, didn't crease & intensified the color too. I visited with my sister, put the same MAC shadow...

I thought I didn't like Shadesticks, but I love Beige-ing. I found Sharkskin kind of hard on my eyelids, but this is much better. It doesnt really show up on me (neutral LLL, close to PPP because I...

I got this in the holiday set - I already owned a few of the other shades & loved the product. This is definitely a keeper, the kind of soft shimmery shade that blends right into your own skintone...

I'm reading a lot of reviews about how it tugs at the skin and hurts the eye but it's smooth and great when I use it... I love how they're portable but has all the good qualities of eye shadow......

After falling in love with taupographic, I bought this. A shimmery off-white,beigy colour that goes well wth taupographic. I can use this on my lid or brow bone. This really stays put and no creases!

I bought this SPECIFICALLY for a shadow base and also to sometimes use as a highlighter/inner eye corner shade. The color is perfect for me (I'm an NC15-20 in MAC). It works very well as a shadow...

This is a good shadestick to use as a base, probably with any eyeshadow. It kind of reminds me of stilife paint, but not as overwhelming. and shadesticks are easier to apply because they are in...
