If you don't apply just a small amount, it can clump up. Be sure to control the quantity when applying.

It has a base that feels similar to a primer. Use only a small amount.

Since I have to apply it to my eye area with the tip each time, I'm a bit concerned about hygiene. Also, it's not easy to control the amount consistently.

I bought this product because I disliked how eyeshadow would settle into my double eyelid crease and how eyeliner would fade over time. After applying this product before my makeup, I noticed a significant reduction in eyeshadow creasing and smudging. Now I use it every time before doing my eye makeup.

It's too drying... While it's good that it prevents smearing by controlling the oil, my eyes are too dry, so wrinkles are forming...

It really doesn't smear at all!!!! Cosmetics always get stuck in the crease of my eyelids, and perhaps due to the oiliness, my eye makeup wears off and smears quickly. But after using the NARS product, it doesn't smear at all and the staying power lasts all night.

It's a bit thick and clumpy, so you have to apply it sparingly and spread it out well.
It dries up quickly, so you have to apply it fast.

Because of my thick double eyelids, when I applied eyeshadow, it would smear and get wiped off completely. But after using this product, it stays put perfectly!!
Other products just can't compare to this one.

✔️Use only a really, really small amount!!
Use as little as you think you should - it'll seem like way too little, but that's enough!
I don't even take out the wand tip when I open the lid ㅎ
I just use what comes up on the top part of the stick!!!

Eyeliner & mascara smudging doesn't seem to have any effect!
I changed my eyeliner to a simple pencil when I bought this product.
But since it filled in the waterline, I sometimes had under-eye smudging!
You should also check if the eyeliner & mascara products themselves are prone to smudging..!!

My eyes have way too many layers of double eyelids.
Both sides have at least more than 5 layers..
I've been stressed out using eyeshadow for my whole life.
Every time, it would crease my double eyelids and crow's feet in just a few hours..
Even when I made it matte, it was meaningless because the oil came back up over time ㅠㅠ
One day I had to get my makeup done, and the makeup artist applied this on my eyelids, and I was so surprised when I got off work.. It was so matte ㅠㅠ
There was no creasing at all, and it just stayed the same as when the makeup was applied.
I remember the artist only used a tiny amount, and after purchasing it, I've been using it the same way, and I'm so, so satisfied.

However, it's not a warrior against tears.
When you cry, it all wipes off...

The feature that helps with color payoff is excellent.
The application is smooth, and it doesn't irritate the eyes.

I recommend testing it out in the store before purchasing.

It doesn't work well for me as I need to frequently apply eye drops. The eyeshadow disappears in an instant. However, I don't feel too disappointed since it was a free mini-product I received when I purchased over 100,000 won worth of items at the NARS store previously.

It applies smoothly and adheres without feeling sticky or tacky. The ingredients also seem quite good.

Applying it to the aegyo sal (under-eye area) also helps improve the longevity.

It's white, but when applied, it has a slightly powdery look, even though it's transparent. It might be good for people with very fair skin tones or those who want a brighter look. By the way, it contains talc, so I'm curious if it's a good quality talc.

The image shows Nars on the left and Urban Decay on the right. Nars is white and has a more matte feel, while Urban Decay is a light beige and applies a bit more dewy. After drying, both are thin and matte. After drying, Urban Decay seems a bit more matte. On the days you wear this, the eyeshadow definitely lasts a long time. The pearl or glitter also lasts longer. Nars applies a bit thinner than Urban Decay.

The packaging is disappointing. It would be better if it was a tube format. It's opaque, so I can't see how much is left.

When I use it, I'm not sure about the effectiveness, but when I don't use it, the product is noticeable.
The color payoff is definitely better.

It can feel a bit drying, and if you apply too much, it can start to cake up.

It spreads well and applies nicely even with just a small amount, without getting clumpy.
The color payoff is good, and there is hardly any bleeding, so it's nice to use.

The downside is that even a small amount can make the eye area feel dry. So after using this, I skip the powder step around my eyes. 
And the price is quite high... But I haven't found anything else that compares, so I plan to repurchase once I finish this one.

I tend to do my eye makeup quite intensely, but this product helps keep it from smudging for a long time, so I always use it. It's an expensive item, but worth it. Just a small amount patted on blends well and boosts the color payoff of eyeshadows, giving my eyes a clean, defined look.

When I applied this and then used eyeshadow, my eyelids became extremely dry... They were so parched that it was almost painful.

I used the sample I received, and the eyeshadow definitely applies better than when I didn't use it!
