Not this girl.
So Sigma Beauty is now selling Eye Shadow Bases! They are available in 9 gorgeous shades that are sold both individually and in color-coordinated sets of 3. I'm obsessed.
Individuals.
I store mine upside down to see the color ;)
Over the past few months I've been using and loving these so much. They are seriously great eye shadow bases.
And yes, they are truly BASES. It irks me that most cream shadows call themselves "bases". I'm guilty of it as well. But to me, eye shadow bases are a product that both grabs and intensifies your eye shadow color while preventing creasing throughout the day. Most products lack that whole crucial "preventing creasing" thing.
I've really been objectively testing out every shade and I can honestly say without a doubt that these are my new favs. Even with my very oily lids that are super prone to creasing, these babies hold up all day. Whether worn on their own or with a shadow layered over it, they stay true to color and prevent creasing.
And let's talk about the packaging.. I LOVE that they have figured out the whole "drying out" thing. We've all had a Paint Pot (or 6) that have dried out into a little shrunken mess before you can even get through a quarter of it. With these, while the lid seals tightly, there is also a little extra "cap" over the product itself to keep it fresh until you use every bit.
Ok so without further ado, here's the details and the swatches!

3-piece kits.
I think these are the best buy because you get a cheaper price per base, and you get a little brush to apply them with.

So what shades are your favs?? My most-used shades so far are definitely Persuade, Pose, and Sculpt... Which happen to all be a part of the Bare Kit. I'm also LOVING the Pursue and Strike shades. It's kind of awful to try and pic my favs. I love them all!
So which shades are you eye-ing??
Expect to see these used in a lot of upcoming tutorials!
