Eye shadow base is a very essential component of a bright and colorful eye color. If you are going for a dramatic and colorful look, you should always start your eyes with a BASE. In this case a colored BASE is highly recommended.
And one of the Eye Shadow Bases that I have tried is from Le Faerie Cosmetics. I tried this while doing a dramatic Arabic Bridal Make-up look.
I used the green shadow on her lids and the darker shade of green on her crease blending to white towards her brow bone. I then enhanced the crease with the black shadow and shaped it all the way outlining her crease line. Then blended it out.
But in addition to the cream eye base shadow, I topped it off with powder eyeshadow to set it. Thus the vibrant results perfect for an Arabic Look..

VERDICT
I loved the consistency. It is creamy and is very pigmented. Perfect for dramatic eyes or for fashion runways. It is very sheer and may be very prone to creasing. It's oil based that's why it glides pretty well, but may gather up if your lids are too oily. So for this you really need to have a good primer to start it with.
I am also amazed by the fact that these colors can be used as LIP COLOR because of its creamy texture.
PROS:
- Consistency
- Pigmentation
- Affordable (Php 750)
- It has all the basic colors
- Makes eye-shadow colors pop!
CONS:
- White & Silver has almost the same color
- Sometimes too sheer
- Has powdery substance upon application
- Using brush can be very tricky - best to use your finger tips
- Staying power is weak if used without primer
RATING: 3.6/5
Packaging - 4/5
Quality - 4/5
Staying Power - 2/5
Availability - 3/5
Price - 5/5
Will I buy it again? Yes. :) This works well for fantasy make-up, fashion make-up, or even party looks that requires vibrant colors.
