Worked for me!, 1 Sept. 2017

I'd read about using it as an eyeshadow primer, so I decided to give the white a try. It worked *really* well with lighter shimmers and glitters that I was having trouble getting to 'pop' on my fair skin. I essentially set this with the shade to build colour, then used a normal application on top to give it the shimmer/glitter look. Maybe it's a bit odd, but hey, it worked!

Not good as eye primer, 26 May 2017

Am sorry but am afraid this pencil does nothing for me in terms of eyeshadow primer. Perhaps it is because I am already quite fair but it does not make my eyeshadow pop at all which is what I wanted from it, even after using powder on top

Excellent to use for eyeshadow primer and base., 3 Mar. 2015

Excellent shadow stick especially for use as a base... using the white shade will ensure all powder eyeshadows will stand out creating that pop of colour and I've found my eyeshadow lasts much longer too. Although a fat pencil I have no problem in being able to sharpen it in a dual sized sharpener, I was actually surprised that it sharpened so well nd easily This has become a staple in my makeup routine, I wouldn't be with it now for use as a base and would definitely recommend!
