Beyu eye Base/Primer review

                                                    Beyu eye base review













What it claims ?
Get maximum perfection from your eyeshadow! Beyu eye base provides a foundation so your eye color can glide on smoothly and stay brilliant for hours. No creasing allowed ! Creamy texture, neutral in color, ideal for any skin type. Comes in practical tube for easy application.    
Bisabolol and Vitamin E soothe and protect the delicate eye area



Price - Marketed by Elder in India . 475 INR for 7 mL
Best before 36 months from date of mfd date


What is eye base ?
Eye base considerable improves the durability and color intensity of powder eyeshadows for a long lasting effect  


How does it look ?
A beige colored liquid with silver shimmer ( not the OTT one )


Pros    

  • My e/s stays longer on my lids 
  • Makes the eyeshadow vibrant , Even the sheer one looks more pigmented  
  • The squeezy tube is very practical and hygienic
  • The price . Pretty affordable for an eye primer.
  • The beige color even out the lids a little , nothing drastic though
  • Not drying , I feel comfortable after application
  • I use it before applying any liner on my upperlid and my liners stays a LOT  longer than usual :).
Cons 
  • The e/s doesn't last exceptionally long , the lasting power is above average(like 5-6 hours) , I would say.
  • People with very oily lids might loathe it .As it is a bit moisturising
  • Does NOT dry clear , You will have some shimmers peeking through mattes e/s
  • Do NOT confuse it with a color correcting primer , it merely brighten up your lid a little
  • Call me weird , But I sniffed it , smells like Jasmine oil aka Chameli ka tel :P ( this is not a CON , Bdw :D)   

This is How it looks like                                                                                           Blended 
                                                                                                                       Noticed the fine shimmers ?











TIPS
I like the fact that I can use it alone.
I sometimes use it instead of e/s , a quick swipe of eye base , colored liner , mascara and kajal .. I'm good to go.The little shimmer looks very pretty alone :)

Swatches without eye base (Top ) and with eye base (below)
This is a very much adored Maybelline eye palette in "chai latte) .. See , How the colors look vibrant in the lower swatches.

VERDICT
It is a necessity in a Bride's trousseau/ working women/eye make up fanatic's life.A great addition for everyone but not a vital one.
Frankly , I can live without this product[ becz  I don't have to use e/s everyday] but as I said earlier , a good addition and makes life easier ;)
I definitely dig it when I go out .

So, have you tried it ??
