Pat McGrath Labs IntensifEYES Artistry Wand

Unlike traditional primers designed primarily to prevent creasing, this wand is specifically formulated to act as an adhesive base for pigments. It is designed to grip metallic, shimmer, and sparkle textures, locking them in place while boosting their color payoff.

While it is optimized for metallics and sparkles, you can use it with mattes if you want to create a slightly tacky base for better pigment adhesion. However, because it has a hydrating, liquid finish, you may find it easier to blend mattes over a traditional powder-based primer.

The formula dries to a smooth, comfortable finish that feels hydrating rather than tight or sticky. It creates an even canvas for your shadows without leaving a heavy residue.

The applicator is designed for versatility. Use the broader side to sweep the formula across your entire lid for a base, and use the precise tip to apply product directly onto specific areas, such as the inner corners or along the lash line, where you want extra sparkle intensity.

No, the IntensifEYES Artistry Wand is not waterproof. It is designed for long-lasting wear and adherence, but it is easily removed with your regular makeup remover or cleanser.

Yes, the liquid formula acts as a binding agent. Applying it before your loose pigments helps anchor the particles to the lid, significantly reducing fallout during application and throughout the day.
