How do you apply your eyeshadow primer/base?

Beautiful with brains says: I usually apply it with my fingers but every now and then I’ll use a flat eyeshadow brush.

Socialite Dreams, me too. I think that’s the most common way. :)

ok i feel like an expert with this topic due to my extremely oily eyelid LOL

i usually just apply with finger, then topped with loose powder, then apply second code of the base, then loose powder again, and finally eyeliner and eyeshadow, and lightly press them with loose powder too.

it’s almost bullet-proof :D

Xin, wow! Must be a time-consuming routine but I bet nothing budges for the entire day. :)

I use my fingers. Brushes are too much trouble because I would have to wash them (it) every time I use them (it).

Sophie, that’s true. The few times I use a brush to apply it, I wash it afterwards. That’s ok once in a while but I don’t think I could do it every day..

I put primer some on the back of my hand and then pat it on my eye or I apply it directly (if my face has just been washed and is clean). I’ll only use a brush if I’m blending a base color.

Janessa, I think that for blending a brush is necessary too. Otherwise, your fingers will do just as well. :)
