What I like about NYX INCREDIBLE WATERPROOF CONCEALER STICK?

Love it as an eye shadow base
Enhances the pigments of even the least pigmented shadows
Super pigmented
Can be used as a concealer too but might come across as less pigmented for really dark under eye circles
Easy to apply
Comparable to MAC paint pot in soft ochre

What I don’t like about NYX INCREDIBLE WATERPROOF CONCEALER STICK?

I don’t really use it as a concealer so I can’t comment on that part but as an eye shadow base it is just amazing.

My thoughts on NYX INCREDIBLE WATERPROOF CONCEALER STICK

The reason why I bought it was to use it as an eye shadow base. I don’t know why but I just thought in my mind that it would be more like MAC paint pot in soft ochre so instead of spending a fortune on that I should go for this as a cheaper alternative. I was very right, it is just amazing and yes, it is very much comparable to the MAC eye shadow base. I apply it all over my eyelids with this stick and then blend everything with a nice eye shading brush. This just makes all eye shadows pop which are so hard to work with without a good primer. My Urban Decay primer potion is hands down my favorite primer but this one is nothing less either especially for making the eye shadows pop.
