NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base 8g is a long-wear eyeshadow primer designed to keep eye make-up exactly where you put it for hours. The lightweight nude formula creates an even, slip-free canvas on the lid, helping eyeshadow apply more evenly, blend more smoothly, and resist creasing, fading and transfer through a long day or evening.
About NARS
NARS Cosmetics was founded in 1994 in New York by François Nars, a French make-up artist whose career began on the runway and editorial circuits. The brand built its reputation on bold pigmentation, signature shade names and an unmistakably grown-up aesthetic, with hero products including Orgasm blush, Sheer Glow foundation and Radiant Creamy Concealer. The Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base is one of the brand's most-loved make-up artist staples.
Key features
- Long-wear primer: Designed to keep eye make-up in place all day, resisting creasing and fading.
- Even, slip-free base: Helps eyeshadow apply more evenly and blend more smoothly.
- Smoothes lid texture: Reduces the appearance of fine lines on the eyelid.
- Nude finish: Sets to a soft, semi-matte tone that suits all skin types.
- Compact 8g format: Easy to slip into a make-up bag or travel kit.
Who it's for
Suited to anyone who wants longer-lasting eyeshadow wear — particularly useful for hooded eyes prone to creasing, oilier eyelid skin, hot or humid weather, and event-day make-up where a fresh-eye finish matters. Also a sensible base layer when working with shimmer or metallic eyeshadows, where it helps the pigment grip and stay vibrant.
How to use
- Apply moisturiser to the eye area first and let it absorb fully.
- Squeeze a small dot of Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base onto the back of the hand.
- Use a clean fingertip or flat brush to pat the base evenly across the eyelid, from the lashline to just above the crease.
- Let dry briefly until the surface is no longer tacky.
- Apply eyeshadow on top as usual; the colour will appear truer, blend more smoothly and last significantly longer.
