Love these primers!I use Persuade every day as a primer for upper and lower eye. It acts like a concealer too...Eye makeup does not crease and the primer stays all day!

Best primer ever!I've tried a million eyelid primers. All were a disappointment – that is until I found the Sigma Eyeshadow Base Primer. I don't typically rave about beauty products (or write reviews) but this one deserves to be shouted from the rooftops. It comes with a generous amount of product. It's easy to apply, goes on so smoothly and covers the flaws on my lids (I have a lot of sun damage), And, it stays put – doesn't crease – and helps my shadow and line stay all day.

Great eyeshadow primer but need better shadesGreat eyeshadow primer. Shame about the strange shades though. It works well though and not too drying for me. I actually discovered this formula is fantastic as a colour corrector under my eye and even the mattest of concealers sits fantastically on top of this :)

What a difference it made on my eyeshadow!!Granted I'm a rookie with dry skin, and this is one of my first eye shadow primer (I have previously purchased a NYX one, no good), and I can't believe I have waited this long to purchase a proper primer. I don't have much experience with other primers so I can't really compare this to anything. It just does what it said it will, and I'm just so impressed by it. I have been neglecting my Fall Softly palette (glad I didn't return it) because I felt like the color wasn't as pigmented as I'd like, and I can barely see it on my lid. Boy was I wrong :) This primer not only made the colors pop, it also made my drugstore brand eyeliner lasted all day (I was getting frustrated with it because it keeps smudging after 3 hours). I gotta say I put on my makeup at 8am, and by 4pm it still look decent and my eyeliner is not smudging. With the help of my E06 and this primer I'm finally getting the hang of a decent wing. I'm glad I took a leap of faith and purchased this, and will definitely purchase again after I run out.
What's the best way to use this primer? Do you use it while tacky or do you let it dry down pack on your color then blend?
Asked by: Ddiva516
Great question! We recommend waiting for the primer to fully dry before blending your shadows on top. This will ensure the pigment does not 'stick' to one area and that blending is easier for you!

I am a redhead I need an eye primer that does all yours says it does but I’m not sure what color I need. I’m older so I use matte lighter eye shadow and sometimes a light natural color. What color would you suggest?
Asked by: Pattia
Thank you for your question! Our Eyeshadow Base Primers are very versatile, with each shade pairing well with most skin tones, however, if you are looking for a matte, light shade, the shades Ignite or Persuade will be a perfect fit for you!

Is this the same primer that was in the pot? has the formula changed? Is it WATER PROOF?
Asked by: Lynn Marie
Hello Lynn Marie,
The Eyeshadow Base Primer is a new and improved formula of our eyeshadow primers in the pot form. It has 8+ hour wear, is crease resistant and is fade resistant. The best part is that it increases eyeshadow pigmentation. You can view the ingredients for this new product in the tab above!

Did you discontinue the pot version of Persuade? Is this the same formula?
Asked by: Lauren
Hello Lauren,
We have discontinued the pot version of our Persuade Eye Shadow Base. Our Eyeshadow Base Primers are a new and improved forumula in stick form. You will get 8+ hour wear, as well as resistance to any creasing or fading. Each stick has eyeshadow pigmentation to it as well, so you can even wear it alone!

Hi, should I apply powder on top of these eyeshadow base primers to set them? Also, can I use these as primers for Chanel cream eyeshadows?
Asked by: Momo
Hello Momo,
You do not need to apply powder on top of our Eyeshadow Base Primers, as they are meant to hold their own when applied directly to the eyelid. You can definitely use these primers for any cream or powder eyeshadows. Please see below for each shade's description:
Persuade: Matte, light pink-beige
Sorbet: Pale, rose satin
Bubbly: Pinky-peach champagne shimmer
