Shadow Shields Shadow Shields Review

Absolutely love these. So, I am not the best at doing a wing liner nor a dark eye look when in a rush. These shadow shields save the stress and make everything a lot more effortless. I have a hooded outer eye so I find it difficult to apply a quick line unless I know I can remove it if necessary. Apply these under the eye in an angle upwards and draw your liner against it and don't worry if you draw on the shield with your powders or liquid liners because it comes clean off. If you have applied your concealer or foundation before hand under the eye it will come off with the adhesive, but don't worry you can quickly blend your concealer back under for a flawless eye. Extremely easy to use and very well written instructions on the packaging. They may seem pricey to begin with but you do get 30 in a pack which is quite a lot and if time is money for you then they are defiantly worth the investment. Will be fantastic for the holiday season when you have a lot of events to attend and want to use more dramatic eye looks. Yes, I will be purchasing these again in the future They work and they work well.

I tried this out a few ways, and found that it doesn't fit my face/eye shape very well. Admittedly I am east Asian and have smaller eyes and a flatter face which needed all the adhesive exposed for the shield to lay flat and stay on when I moved my face. Blinking with the shield on was uncomfortable, it managed to get in my eye when positioned for a fairly thick (for me) lower lash application. Working with a pencil eye liner caused a pinching feeling where it ran against the shield but the line was even. A fluffy eye shadow brush easily left a neat line without problem. Personally I'd only use this for a quick smoky shadow line. Some other positives: the adhesive went on and off easily without too much tugging, and it could be used over foundation without lifting off too much although it wouldn't stick quite as well.

I was lucky enough to get receive these from BR for review and am super glad I did as they are not something I would usually purchase otherwise (since they aren't a necessity). Being $18 a pack with 30 shields (15 applications, one for each eye) they cost $1.20 per application so are not really affordable to use daily. I would say they are more suited to when you want perfect eye make-up for a special occasion, are going for a dark smoky eye or using pigments/glitter that are prone to major fallout.

In saying that I tried these out with a neutral everyday eye-shadow look and was quite surprised at the amount of fallout the little shield collected. Another awesome use for these is winged liner...and for a beginner at winger liner like me these are super handy and help create a nice crisp line and a guide to follow for a nicely shaped wing.

I have used these both before applying foundation and after and found they work well either way, however, I would suggest removing some of the stickiness by applying it to the back of your hand and removing a couple of times so it is easy to remove from the delicate eye skin and also doesn't remove foundation (if that is already applied).

Overall, I love these and think they are super handy...however, as they aren't super cheap, they will be reserved for special occasions in my case.

These are one of the best creations made for make up lovers! Especially if you love wearing heavy eye makeup or those sharp crisp liners. They are even great for beginners who are trying to perfect that perfect winged liner!

I have seen these on social media but never thought of purchasing these myself, I thought these would be just like expensive sellotape with a flap, so never thought these would be any good. But I was wrong! I apologize for thinking this in the first place. I saw these in the last Beauty vault and thought I would see what the buzz was about these especially since they were used for trials and the reviews were really good!

You can see alot of time and effort has gone into making these, it has 3 sticky parts and you have a choice of how much you want to remove, it sticks on to your skin very well and it stays strong and secure until you remove it. If its too hard you can always place it on your hand to remove some of the stickiness before you place it under your eye.

The curved edge gives you a much better angle for your eye and there are many ways to place this to give you certain looks. My 2 favorite ways are:

1: Applying it directly under my lashline to give the sharpest cats eye & winged liner, it really opens your eyes and I get the perfect liner every time I use these.

2. I add it half a centimeter under my eyelid to get the sultry smokey eye. I can apply eye shadow under my eyes and it gives a more precise and accurate amount of color under my lash line without over doing it. Then once I have removed the Shadow shield I drag my fluffy brush underneath to slightly soften the edge.

The Shadow shields are convenient and time saving, I normally apply my foundation last because I am used to removing fall out from eye shadow but I don't need to worry anymore. I can apply my foundation first and not worry.

I am so glad I got these, (Thank you Beauty review) I will definitely be purchasing more of these!

These nifty little pads come in a pack of 30 shields. This gives you 15 application per pack. At $18 a pack, these aren't for your every day no-makeup makeup look. But when you want big smoky eyes or perfect winged liner, these are amazing.

The design of the shields is really clever. They are easy to apply and stay on your face as long as you need. Once applied, the bottom of the shield curves out which lets it pick up any fall out and keeps your foundation safe.

These help make a beautiful winged cats eye. It's like using a piece of tape but these shields have less adhesion to your skin so they're more comfortable. I sometimes have a few issues with them coming loose if I have them up super close to my eye to try and get a really neat line, but this is mostly to do with application and a bit of trial and error is all that's needed to find the best place to put them.

When I do a dark smoky eye with these shields, they end up filthy. It's so satisfying seeing all the dark eyeshadow that isn't all over your face. These would be great for applying glitter or pigments which will spread all over your face if you're not careful.

Overall I think these are really neat, the biggest downside is the price which puts me off using them for every day. For heavy makeup though, these are life savers.

I use to have the worst makeup days trying to create a cat-eye look or even wings (liner). I had seen a few YouTubers rave about this product and thought "I need those in my life". I was able to pick mine up throught BR Vault. I find they work better than your normal sticky-tape trick. I use them when ever I want to create a cat-eye or if I want my wings to be perfect.

PROS: Quick Easy The texture of the top part is almost like a waffle pattern so if you have fall out it is often held in the grooves. No damage to the under-eye area.

CONS: They tend to be too long for what you need. The adhesive side can remove foundation or concealer (I tend to do my face makeup after my eyes when using the shadow shields).

Well this product is awesome!! I have been thinking about getting some of these and when the trial op came up I was really excited. These do exactly what they are suposed to do, I used them all week and they only thing I can think of as a negative (which isnt really one because it is easily fixed) is that after placed under the eye and eyeshadow is done when you are removing the shadow shield it takes some of the makeup off that was underneath the sticky bit. All I did to fix this is stuck it on the back of my hand first then placed it under my eye so it wasnt quite as sticky. Shadow so easy to do not having to worry about blending too far out, liner so SO easy to do whether it is liquid, gel or even a dark shadow. Perfect everytime!!!

So in conclusion I LOVE this product and would totally reccomend it to anyone.

I was excited to pick these up in the vault as I am useless at free hand wings.

The backing is separated into several bits so you can peel off a small amount where it's going to suit you to stick it on.... I kind of don't see the point. But I guess it's going to be handy for someone else.

I found them just a bit too hard on the adhesive side of things. When I pulled it off, it almost pulled my skin with it on bare skin. Overtop of foundation, these will take the foundation with it.

Maybe not really for me as I apply my foundation before I do my eyes.

I actually just found them a bit too fiddly & difficult to use. I did not achieve the wing I was hoping for.

I'm going to have a few more tries with them to see if maybe it gets easier. I probably wouldn't bother purchasing them again really.

Not something I would use usually but thought I would give it a go when invited to trail product. I found it can be quite fiddly at first but once you've used a couple times you get the hang of it. It defiantly helps keep eyeshadow off your face and helps you pull of the coolest cat eye. If your someone that uses eyeshadow everyday I defiantly would recommend for a easy and quick way to do the perfect eye makeup but for me who doesn't wear eyeshadow regularly this pack will keep me going for ages, all in all a good product

it was my first time using something like this. i found that the sticker was too big for my face. i normally like to do my foundation before lip and eye so i would have to go over my foundation again on areas where the sticker has been. it was useful when it came to applying mascara. sometimes i would get black spots on my lid from my mascara but the sticker helps. i think i do not need something like this to help me with my eye make up.
