Touch Base For Eyes™ Creamy Eye Shadow

Clinique Touch Base For Eyes™ is one of the brand's long-standing classics — a cream shadow that lays down a wash of soft pigment with a glimmer to it, and works just as well as a primer underneath other shadows. It comes in three nude-toned shades: Canvas, Nude Rose and Canvas Light.

Format	Cream eye shadow in a compact
Finish	Soft colour with glimmer
Shades	Canvas · Nude Rose · Canvas Light
Two ways to wear	Alone as colour, or beneath other shadows as a base
Free from	Fragrance · parabens · phthalates · oil

What it actually does

• Adds colour and light in one swipe. A wash of nude pigment with a glimmer, rather than a heavy block of shadow.
• Doubles as a shadow primer. Worn underneath, it gives powder shadows something to grip.
• Resists creasing. Clinique states the cream formula holds up against creasing, fading and smudging.
• Built for sensitive eyes. Under Clinique's eye safety promise it is ophthalmologist tested, and described as safe for sensitive eyes and for contact lens wearers.
• Also dermatologist and allergy tested, and completely fragrance free.
• Leaves out four things on purpose: fragrance, parabens, phthalates and oil.

How to use

1. Apply with your ring finger. Sweep colour from the lash line up toward the brow and blend it out gently.
2. Choose your role for it. Wear it on its own for a soft tinted lid, or put it down first and build powder shadow over the top.
3. Shut the compact all the way. A partly open lid is how cream shadows dry out.
4. Remove with an eye makeup remover — Clinique suggests one of their own.

Questions

Is it a shadow or a primer?

Both, by design. Alone it gives a tinted, glimmering lid; layered first it acts as a base for the powder shadows that go on top.

Which of the three shades should I pick?

All three are nude-toned. Canvas Light is the lightest of the trio, Canvas sits as the neutral mid, and Nude Rose brings a pink lean. If you mainly want a base under other shadows, a neutral is the safer buy.

Will it crease on me?

Clinique formulates it to resist creasing, fading and smudging. Applying a thin layer with your ring finger rather than a thick one helps it stay put.

Is it safe with contact lenses?

Clinique lists it as ophthalmologist tested, safe for sensitive eyes and safe for contact lens wearers, plus allergy tested and fragrance free.
