Launched in 1994 by French make up artist and photographer François Nars, NARS has remained at the forefront of the beauty space with its collection of trend-led, high-performance covetable cosmetics (not to mention cheeky shade names too). Initially starting with 12 lipsticks, the brand has gone on to develop the Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (8g), a lightweight eyelid primer creating a seamless canvas for all kinds of eye colours and textures.
Preventing smudging, creasing or caking, the Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (8g) works to keep your eye make up looking fresh all day.
Crafted with a blend of polymers and mineral powder, this formula establishes a firm grip on pigment, ensuring hours of wear and maximising the colour intensity of your eyeshadow or eyeliner. And skin care ingredients are involved too, with deep sea extract and antioxidant-rich rice extract smoothing your lids, prepping them for eye make up and helping to keep your eyeshadow from travelling around the eye area. So, whether you're going for a light wash of a daytime neutral or an all-out seriously smoky eye, sweep this on first to ensure it stays put for as long as possible.

Still searching
I have used this a number of times now and have found it quite hit and miss. On warmer days my eyeshadow still slides off. On cooler days it’s ok for around 4 hours. I get oily lids and slightly sweaty skin, and so I struggle to achieve a beautiful long-lasting eyeshadow look. Urban decay potion also only worked like this for me, so I accept it may be an issue that I have with technique or physiology.

Amazing!!
I don't often write reviews but this product I had to do one one, it's fantastic! All You need is a little day on each eyelid smooth then add eyeshadow. Your eyeshadow will stay put all day, with no creasing or smudging. It really is fab.

Works great!
Works well and makes my eyeshadow look so much more vivid. Also helps the eyeshadow stop collecting/getting lines after wearing for a while. Great purchase!

All day proof
I love this eyeshadow primer, the applicator guarantees smooth and uniform cover of all your eyelid area including inner corners. The formula dries quickly so no need to wait and best of all, my eye makeup stays in all day. I have oily eyelids and this product exceeded my expectations.

Great for oily lids
I can’t rate this product enough! My liner didn’t budge all day even on my oily lids! My go-to for life!

Don’t actually think it’s that amazing
I went for this because of the good reviews but if I’m honest there better out there. It doesn’t do a bad job it does keep eyeshadow on relatively ok. However, it’s a similar formula to the Urban Decay primer which means you can’t really use it with concealer. It doesn’t particularly make your eyeshadow pop in comparison to others and I feel like it runs out pretty quickly. It’d be nice if this product was in a squeeze tube like the urban decay ones to be able to get all the product out.

The Best!
For someone with extremely (!) oily eyelids like me, this is the only product that really works. I have tried numerous other eyeshadow bases, both creamy and liquid, but after a few hours I always ended up with creased eyelids. This NARS one really keeps your eyeshadow (liquid, cream, matte, glitter,...) in place!

So glad I found this!
The last two years I've noticed my eyeshadow creasing on my lids and just thought there was nothing I could do about it. I stumbled across this and didn't have high hopes but this really does work! I wish I'd found it earlier! Now I don't like to apply eyeshadow without it because it makes a significant difference.

Really good!
I have really oily skin and hooded eyelids. This primer made my eyeshadow stay on all day, no creasing or oil build up! Lives up to all the good reviews.

Really works!
I really struggle with creasing eyeshadows on my eyelids and this is the first product I've tried that actually seems to have made a difference. Still need to try it with a few different eyeshadows but today my eyeshadow lasted a full day without any creasing and that's unheard of. It goes on smoothly and doesn't clump at all. Gives a really nice matte even base to eyeshadow.
