Base and primer are essentially the same thing, primer is a type of base. It;s a liquid or cream applied to the eyelid to help eyeshadow stay on longer and not crease or fade. You can use primer, which is skin tone, or another base such as a cream shadow.





Highlighter is an eyeshadow in a light usually shimmery color applied to the browbone above the crease and in the inner corner. It just lightens the area and finishes the whole look. Most highlighting colors are ivory, beige, white, or a really light shade of the eyeshadow color already in use.Eye makeup help!?
You dont have to use them. :]


Base- usually reffered to as Base Color and its a color of eyeshadow you put on lid,crease,and brow bone. Its the base of all shadow. Useually a very light matte color.


Primer- A thickish gel or liquid the you put on your eyelid before any eye make up. Primers are suppost to keep make up in place and from creasing.


Highlighter- Useually put on brow bone and inner corner of eye lid. Highlights the eye making you ';sparkle';. When put on inner corner of lid its ment to ';open up the eye';. Useually a light, shimmery color.
primer is a cream that keeps your shadow from creasing and cracking.


base keeps your shadow on and makes it appear more vibrantly.


your highlight is a light color you put under your brow to emphasize the shape of you brow and give your makeup and extra touch.





primer-you should use


base-you should use


highlight-i would recommend it, but it's not a must.
it pretty much goes in order, a base just goes on your eyelids, a primer goes over your eye lids and up to about the middle of your brow bone and a highliter is dusted over the brow bone and up to the eye brow, the highliter is suppose to make your eyes look bigger and brighter
the primer-the color on the eyelid.


Than the highlighter is what you put above that color. on the creas of your eyelid.


and a highlighter the more glitter color where you put near your eyebrows.
ok its a shimmery color kinda and its used for greasy eye lids and so u dont get crease marks its just a base so ur eye shadow stays better
