Hello dears!
I found a really great and affordable eyeshadow base from Essence Makeup.
It's the...
Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadows
Php 209.00
I actually bought one just because I wanted to try something from the brand. I liked it so much that I bought another one in a different shade.

I actually bought one just because I wanted to try something from the brand. I liked it so much that I bought another one in a different shade.
This is the first one I bought.
The shade is called For Fairies.
I bought it because I find the warm pink tone so pretty.
It's very shimmery, even close to being metallic. It's a cream eyeshadow but it's not to creamy. You'll have to build it up to get its full color.
Here's a swatch on my hand.
And here it is on my eyelids.
Actually, I don't like it on its own. It creases within three or four hours. BUT if you top it off with powder eyeshadows, it becomes a really, really good base!
So here's what it usually looks like when I top it off with powder eyeshadow that's near its shade.
That's basically my everyday eye makeup (and sorry for not prepping my brows haha). :P
This is a really good base. It makes the powder shadows look bolder and last longer. Even if this is shimmery, the matte eyeshadows stay matte! I use For Fairies for cool, pink toned eye makeup.
But for gold or warm based looks, I bought a different shade..
I got the shade Glammy Goes To...
This is a pretty shade of gold.
And oh, I love the packaging. The design makes it look like it's worth more than Php 209.00.
Here's a swatch on my hand:
And here's a product on my lids:
So yeah, I use this as a base. It works with every look even with smoky eyes!
What I LIKE:
- Affordable
- Great eyeshadow Base—makes ES last longer and look bolder
- Beautiful pigmentation that works well under any kind of eyeshadow, even matte ones!
- Locally available
- Cute packaging
What I DON'T LIKE:
- Doesn't last long on its own
Would I buy again?
I'll buy the other shades!!! I even got my sister to buy some too! :P
So do you have any thoughts on the Essence Stay All Day Long Lasting Eyeshadows? :)
Cheers,
DAWN
