Awesome Addition to Eye RoutineI actually stumbled across this on sale.. I am so happy about this product.. it is a definite game changer.. it primes the lid.. covers discoloration... mattifies oily lids AND extends the life of eyeshadow.. all this in a neat, convenient pencil-like applicator.. the best compliment I have ever received was I was in The hospital for a surgical procedure and the nurse looked down into my face and said “you have beautiful eye makeup” and it was only then that I realized I was only wearing this primer because I had gotten distracted and didn’t have time to complete the rest of my eye makeup look. I was wearing only this primer.. Needless to say I try to keep this item in stock.. I even keep one in my purse..

Another winner from SigmaI’m so impressed by the line of eyeshadow base primers of Sigma and ordered Earthen. I thought of using it as an eyeshadow and it’s exactly what I was hoping for. It isn’t too dark but gives me just a hint of color when I don’t have time to do full eye makeup.
Thanks, Sigma!

Great product, but not the color I was expectingFor reference, my skin tone is medium-deep with warm-neutral undertones (Fenty 310/330 & MAC NC42). I have very deep set eyes with a lot of lid space.
TLDR: Shade pulls cool-toned on my eyes. It's holds up pretty well on its own, except for in a humid climate. Creamy texture.
I really like this product, but the color wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Online, Earthen looks like a fairly deep warm brown, but on my skin it pulled very cool toned and a lot lighter. The only swatches I could find online were on fair skin tones and it does look warm brown on them. On me it's a cool taupe. That being said I do really like the texture. It's very creamy. If anyone's curious, it doesn't hold up well in high humidity, especially with oily lids.
Setting it and putting powder eyeshadow on top: Great base, held up well.
Setting it and putting a cream eyeshadow on top: Affected the blend-ability, but not too bad.
Not setting it and putting a cream eyeshadow on top: Lots of creasing, but I think if you have flatter lids and a not-so-pronounced eye socket there won't be as much creasing, especially if you're using powder shadows only.
Overall, for me the best way to use this is as a one-and-done eyeshadow to cancel out any discoloration on my lids. I would absolutely repurchase if they came out with deeper matte shades.
