I love this product on my lids for special events where I want my makeup to stay perfect all night without fading or smudging. My issue with this is that it is hard to blend with a brush, fingers are the best option but this means less precision. Still a wonderful product, I like to do my whole eye look and then finish it off with a dash of the silver in the middle for an eye catching metallic pop!

These are really beautiful and look amazing on the lids they last for ever however they don't layer well you have to have the first layer down and hope it goes well if you start layering to build the pigment it will lift and go patchy
I brought the aqua one of these for a ball I was going to. The only reason I chose this was for the colour, I wasn't looking for staying power. Its easy to apply, it blends on with fingers or brush (i used a brush) it does seem to stay put once you have it on so dont be going too wild with the brights or you will end up looking a little crazy. Works fine applied with a thin brush as an eyeliner. I prob wouldn't use it a lot just cause I don't like that it stays on so much, I feel a little strange about it. I've never had a problem with my eye shadows coming off before I was ready and i didnt really like the extra effort I went to get it off. But overall its a great product and does what it says (not that I left it on 24 hours)
Tips: Go easy and build up the colour gradually to avoid looking clownish with the bright colours.
I have oily eyes which makes any eye shadow difficult to keep on, primers help a little. It's a bold colour and does look amazing, i used it line by lash line for subtle hit of purple. This product would be great for any one with normal eyes.
You can forgive a lot of mistakes in cosmetics.... Im not sure a frosted gold is one of those things but hey. Of course, I brought these after every man and his dog were raving about them on the interwebs. I forked out for two colours; barely branded and tough as taupe. Ill begin with the positive. Tough as Taupe is B.E.A.Utiful. Like, gorg.
I wear it washed out on the lid with some smokey liner and it is the perfect mix of subtle but still strong. I live for it.
Barely branded however....eh.... Its just...so FROSTY. Not just shimmery, not just glowing. But Frosted. And quite yellow. I wanted to love it but it was not meant to be. I have super oily lids so this can forget any claims of being a primer or base or whatever. It creases on me but then everything does. I wear these over Urban Decay Primer potion and will usually set them with a shadow as well (Omega or Satin Taupe from MAC are recommended :))
Hit and miss but I still think they are great value and come in some great colours
I purchased the bad to the bronzed shade. This does what it says it will and does not budge. And creates a beautiful base for bronze shadows. However, after a couple of uses my eyes started having a reaction to this and got dry and flaky. I never have this issue with other brands only Maybelline. Sadly it won't be a repurchase for me!
Everyone raved about this so I went to a makeup sale and saw they had these for $6. I got Barely branded and tried it out and to me it seemed patchy when applied? I tried using it as a base with eyeshadow over top blending it but I found it looked even worse and super super patchy? im not sure if it was a dud or not but I was kind of disappointed :( will continue to try use it though as people still rate it and I think once I get it right, i may fall in love.
Tips: Use fingers to apply and the heat from your hands warm up the product making it easier to apply :)
I think this is a really good product. I have sandy shores and charcoal. I often use them as a base after I've primed my lids to make the shadows stick easier and last longer, especially if there is a lot of fall out. they are not as pigmented as i thought and i wouldn't use it on its own.but definitely good for making other shadows stay longer.
Tips: Use your fingers!!
I am a fan of the colour tattoo shadows, which I mostly use as bases underneath a shimmer or satin finish shadow. I find it a bit difficult to blend out if I'm putting a different colour in my crease/socket, so i generally just use it when I want a base for a wash of colour. I use creamy beige often as it stays on all day. I also have Barley Branded which I find isn't as long wearing and comes off a little patchy on me. I also use Ready, Set Green whenever I do a green eye look and it's a great base.
Tips: They set really fast, so I do one eye at a time and apply a shadow over top as quick as I can.
For the price, this is a great product. I do find that it is a bit dry so i have to dig my brush into it. Also it doesnt blend well, but if you want a solid high pigmented colour it is great!
Tips: Use only a small bit at a time and build it up as it is very flakey and it will clump if you over apply
