Some formulas that crease less can be too dry and hardly blendable, emphasizing texture. This velvety texture blends like a dream, but when it comes to applying it on the folds, let’s face it, finding a formula that won’t crease on our lovely hooded folds is like chasing after a unicorn.
But fear not, this product is still a winner, and playing around with it is pure joy. The creasing factor also varies based on skin type, climate, and sweat resistance.
Get ready to blend like a pro with brushes from Happy Eyelids, pros will love it, and beginners will find it foolproof.
Let’s talk pigment, it’s vibrant, buildable, and oh-so-gorgeous. Plus it’s cruelty-free, vegan, long-lasting, and waterproof.
1. Use a tiny amount. Apply a very thin layer, these bases are highly pigmented, so a small amount goes a long way.
2. Place above the crease, not inside it. These bases are designed for hooded-eye geometry, not for the mobile lid. Place them above your natural crease to shape, lift, and define.
3. Take your time blending. The formula stays flexible and won’t dry instantly, and that’s intentional, so you can adjust your shape, soften edges, fix mistakes, and practice geometry.
4. Set with shadow or translucent powder for all-day hold. This prevents transfer and keeps everything crisp.
5. Mix shades for custom colors. All shades are mixable:
• Pastels → mix with Nude or White for softer tones
• Espresso → mix Brown and Black
• Medium Brown → soften with Nude or deepen with Black
• Bubblegum, Warm Pink, Coral → use as color correctors or blush (fair to medium skin tones)
6. Lower lash line and waterline pops. Pastels and light shades are amazing for adding subtle or bold color to your lower waterline. Best brush: Flat Definer, for clean, graphic, or soft color placement.
7. Inner-corner highlighting. Use light shades (White, Nude, Pastels) to brighten the inner corner. Best brush: Mini Bullet, for perfect precision in tight spaces.
8. Multi-use options. Many shades work beyond the eyes:
• Medium Brown as a soft bronzer
• Bubblegum, Warm Pink, or Coral as blush (fair to medium)
• Nude at the center of the lips for dimension
• Coral or Warm Pink mixed into deeper blushes for rich undertones
All formulas are blendable and adjustable.

It’s a great base for learning and training, and it’s designed to not dry out completely so it stays fully versatile across lids, cheeks, and skin. If you want it fully transfer and smudge proof, you can seal it with an aqua sealer, I love A2O Lab Waterproof Sealer, it’s under $5 and works amazing.
