How it works

The eye primer creates a smooth, even base using ingredients like Cyclopentasiloxane and Polymethylsilsesquioxane which improve the product's texture and spreadability. Isododecane contributes to an even application by enhancing the ease of spreading. The primer's film-forming properties, aided by Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, help to secure eye makeup in place. Trimethylsiloxysilicate adds to the formula’s water-resistant qualities, helping to maintain longevity of wear. Phenyl Trimethicone enhances the feel on the skin, while Panthenol and Tocopheryl Acetate are incorporated for their moisturizing and antioxidant properties, potentially improving the overall condition of the skin on the eyelids while holding the makeup in place.
