I recommend this product to those who have pigmentation on their eyelids, eyeshadows that easily fade away, or want to use a base eyeshadow that is lighter in tone than their skin tone, as using it alone can make the look dull. I fall into all three categories. While I haven't tried many eye primers, using this color seems to provide much better longevity and vibrancy compared to typical primers. The color is not too stark white compared to my skin tone, and since it's a cream eyeshadow rather than a primer, the pigmentation is really locked in, allowing the true color to show regardless of the eyeshadow shade used on top. Even eyeshadows that were previously sheer and dull can be somewhat salvaged with this as a base.

The setting is incredibly fast, so you need to spread it on quickly with your fingers or a brush. Don't just dab it on, but rather stipple it on and then blend it out evenly. If you're just using it as an eyeshadow, that amount should be sufficient, but if you want to use it as a primer and base, that light layer is all you need to avoid affecting the texture and pigmentation of the eyeshadows on top. The price is quite high, but the product quality is so good, and the generous amount means you don't need to use much at a time, so I'm overall satisfied. The key is making sure it doesn't dry out so you can use it for a long time.

The makeup artist recommended the MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow to me when I mentioned my struggle with eyeshadow application due to the darkness around my eyes. It definitely applies well! However, it's much thicker than expected, so I have to warm it up with my fingers before applying.

It's a bit drying due to the thick texture. Since I'm sensitive to dryness around the eyes, I need to make sure to keep that area well-moisturized when using this product.
