KATE The Eye Color Base 001 — eyeshadow primer for longer-lasting, vivid color.
About this product
KATE The Eye Color Base 001 is a dedicated eyeshadow primer designed specifically to pair with KATE's The Eye Color single-pan shadow series, creating a smooth, oil-controlled, color-neutral base that maximizes pigment vibrancy, prevents creasing, and extends the wear of any eyeshadow applied over it.
How to use
- After eye moisturizer has fully absorbed, apply a thin, even layer of the base across the entire lid using a fingertip or flat brush.
- Blend to a smooth, invisible finish and allow to set for 30 seconds before applying eyeshadow on top.
Ingredients
- Dimethicone — creates a smooth, even primer layer across the lid that fills texture and fine lines, giving eyeshadow a uniform surface to grip onto.
- Titanium Dioxide — provides a neutral, skin-tone-correcting base that cancels lid discoloration and enhances the true-to-pan color accuracy of any eyeshadow applied on top.
- Talc — absorbs excess oil on the lid, extending eyeshadow wear and preventing creasing throughout the day.
FAQ
Do I need this base if I already use a face primer or foundation on my lids?
A dedicated eye base performs better than face primer on lids — it is specifically formulated to control lid oil, prevent creasing, and enhance eyeshadow pigmentation in a way general face primers are not designed for.
Will this help eyeshadow last longer in Manila's humidity?
Yes — the oil-absorbing base formula significantly reduces creasing and fading caused by humidity and oily lids, making it especially useful in tropical climates.
Is this only for use with KATE The Eye Color shadows or can it be used with any eyeshadow?
It works with any eyeshadow brand — while designed to pair with The Eye Color series, it functions as a universal eye primer compatible with all powder and cream eyeshadows.
Is this authentic and shipped directly from Japan?
Yes — 100% authentic KATE product sourced and shipped directly from Japan to the Philippines.

Filipinas in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao who want professional, high-pigment eyeshadow — whether for a soft 9-to-5 BPO office look or a night-out smoky halo — need the KATE The Eye Color single-pan eyeshadow.

The magnetic refill design fits the KATE refillable palette system, the pigment is one-pass full opacity, and the color wears 8–10 hours on primed lids (12 with KATE The Eye Color Base).
