Sigma Beauty Eye Shadow Base – Review & swatches

Sigma Beauty recently released its own eye shadow bases. Does it do what's it supposed to? Read more to find that out.

Sigma Beauty Eye Shadow Base   
The Sigma Beauty Eye Shadow Bases are made with a blendable, smooth formula to achieve a long-wearing and pigmented effect. Each base is designed to reduce surface oil with its water-resistant, silky-smooth and light-weight formula. Each eye shadow base features an exclusive anti-drying protectant lid

My thoughts
I’ve got to say I like these a lot. To begin with, it comes in a fine glass jar with an exclusive anti-drying lid to keep the base from drying out. The eyeshadow bases are not only pigmented but also have an incredible texture. The formula is creamy and blends without a hitch. The good thing is, once it sets, it doesn’t budge. Since it’s an eyeshadow base, do not expect it to perform like an eye shadow primer. It’s only meant to make eye shadows appear more vibrant. It does not prevent creasing. Much to my surprise, it doesn’t crease as badly as I expected. As a matter of fact, I noticed minimal creasing after two to three hours of wear. I definitely think priming eyes before applying it is a must if you plan on wearing it the whole day.

Overall, I am very pleased with the texture and pigmentation. These could be used as cream eye shadows too if you'd like. 

Sigma Beauty Eye Shadow Base is available individually for $13.00 and the kit costs $36.00 which contains three eyeshadow bases with a F70 brush. To purchase, visit Sigma Beauty's website here.
