One of the most important and oftentimes overlooked items to have handy is a great eye primer. I forgot about how essential this is until I re-discovered Benefit’s LemonAid in my drawer (don’t you hate it when you have so much stuff you forget that it exists?!).

The re-discovery reminded me of a product by Clinique called Touch Base for eyes that I used to swear by in college, when my roomate was working for them part-time at Macy’s and we lived off the gratis.

A few weeks ago on a trek through Sephora I picked one up and alas have already run out.

It comes in several shades (my favorite is ‘canvas’) and what I love most about it is the texture. It blends smoothly and provides adequate coverage without appearing cake-like or creamy. Check it out and let me know what you think!
