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.

*I have clicked the pic in artificial lighting


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 ??

How to make frosty lipsticks work for you ?

                                                  


Let me start with my current "coral obsession". As they say,Coral is THE color of the season and I can't agree more.
I have been hooked to Bobbi brown "cabana coral" collection but sadly couldn't lay hands on it. BOBBI BROWN come to INDIA :@
Oh.How I went gaga over the shimmerbrick in "Nectar" *sigh**double sigh*


There and then I wanted coral lips.But how ?
I dont have any coral lipcolor.At this time I remembered some of my hopeless lipsticks.The one in THROW section.
And I saw these.
No,too frosty for my taste.
But then what is coral ?? orange with red/pink undertone
what I lust ? Coral red .
Bingo.
I can apply this orangish frost color with a Red lipstick and can get My personalised color.
Thats what I did and see the results.


Colorbar lipstick in"rock you baby"- Frost orange with lots of gold shimmer

Oriflame lipstick in " cranberry crush" - Deep cranberry is how I can describe it at its best .


                                                                                               
             Swatches



 The Farthest left is the cocktail of the other two lipsticks.Rest are swatches.






















A perfect red coral for me.

Now go,make your Frosty lipsticks work,.Don't forget to apply frost lipcolor first and then the actual shade you want (it can be any matte pink/mauve/red/brown)



Priyanka wanted an OOTD with my "killer heels" ;) but I am not gonna wear it anytime soon. Results are approaching fellas.I'm surely going to be grounded by my parents :D

So anyways I'm posting the pics . Enjoy :)
P.s- They are approximately 3 1/2 inches high. I love towering over people :D
