Essential Eye Base

Essential Eye Base is a sheer-to-medium concealing eye base formulated with caffeine, Cucumber Extract, aloe vera, and Sodium Hyaluronate to help reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and redness in the eye area. Available in six shades. Part of the Glo Skin Beauty Prime range, distributed in the UK and Ireland by Glo Skin Beauty UK & Ireland.

What It Does

Essential Eye Base bridges skincare and makeup for the delicate eye area, providing buildable concealing coverage that helps correct and even out tone around the eyes, while the formula's active botanicals help reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, and redness. The natural finish makes it comfortable for all-day wear under the eye and on the lid.

The formula also works as a lid-concealing base: applied to the lid, it neutralises uneven tone and discolouration before eyeshadow for a cleaner, more true-to-colour result. Available in six shades. Lace, Organza, Silk, Satin, Cashmere, and Velvet, to suit a range of skin tones.

Key Actives

Caffeine helps support circulation and may help reduce the appearance of puffiness and under-eye bags in the delicate eye area. Cucumber Extract soothes and calms redness and sensitivity, particularly helpful for tired-looking or reactive skin around the eyes. Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) provides immediate cooling and calming relief. Sodium Hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin to plump the appearance of fine lines and help maintain comfort in the thin, delicate skin of the eye area. Synthetic Beeswax, a vegan formulation, provides the formula's smooth, workable texture and staying power.

Who It Suits

Suitable for all skin types. Particularly effective for dark circles, puffiness, redness, and fine lines in the eye area. Fragrance-free and formulated for the delicate periorbital area. Use in the morning after skincare, before eye or face makeup, for both under-eye correction and lid priming.
