High Definition Eyeshadow Base

I hear a lot of people are still discussing the validity of using concealer instead of eyeshadow primer so I decided to put it to the test during a 9-HOUR wear test. I used the NYX - High Definition Eyeshadow Base on my right eye and my COVERGIRL - TruBlend Undercover Concealer in Golden Brown on my left. 🎺 LET THE SHOWDOWN COMMENCE!!! 🎺 3:30 p.m. application 📸 • I grab my bases and eyeshadow palette. I used Colourpop’s Lil’ Boat and COLOURPOP - Colourpop Pressed Powder Shadowwith an depanned Estée Lauder shadow you deepen the crease and outer edge. I used the same colors and techniques on both eyes so the primer and concealer was the only differing variable. 5:30 p.m. quick check • Everything seems fine. The color hasn’t faded. Nothing is separating. 👍🏾 ~ 7:30 p.m. update • I sneezed around 7:30 p.m. and unconsciously rubbed my right eye. Nothing looked disturbed. I do the same rub on the left side and hope that they are even. 🤞🏾 8:45 p.m. quick check • Everything looked fine, but I did see some of the eyeshadow wearing down in the inner corner of the CG eye. Was it from the sneeze-eye run combo? No one knows. NYX is still great, but both have dulled in color. 10:13 p.m. update • I finally see it. It is happening. The CG side is showing wear-and-tear in the inner corner. The separation is apparent. 12:32 a.m. final check in 📸 • The NYX is the clear winner. In the photo in which I swatched both mediums, you can see how much smoother the NYX base was. WINNER: NYX 🥊
