Wet n Wild Colour Icon Single Eye Shadow

I had the shade in Creme Brulee, which is a shade exactly as it sounds - a nude beige, skin tone colour. It's a good sized shadow for the price you pay but the plastic packaging feels cheap and for no obvious reason my lid detached itself from the bottom of the compact halfway through finishing it.

I had heard people compare this shadow to Bare Minerals Well Rested and MACs Brule shadow, but I didn't have that same experience. I found the shadow to be chalky and powdery. I used it as an all over shadow every day to use it up, but it left a dry looking finish on the lid when on used its own so I always had to go over it with other shadows.

I would give Wet n Wild shadows a go again, but in the version of the much raved about 3 or 8 pan palettes instead.

I have 2 shades of these shadows, amd they are lovely buttery & pigmented. Unfortunately they make my eyes water so have discontinued use. Which is very stink, because I loved them otherwise.

I decided to pick up a couple of these shadows after hearing that they were great for the price, and to be honest, I am not disappointed. They retail for $3 and can be found at Farmers and online retailers. There isn't a huge variety of colors, but I think there are more available overseas than in New Zealand anyway.

I chose the colours Brulee and Sugar, Brulee is a matte beige cream colour, and Sugar is a shimmery white shade. Brulee is perfect for setting an eyeshadow base, which is what I use it for, and Sugar can be used to highlight the inner corner and brow bone or even could be used on the lid. These come in a plastic case, quit cheap looking but I personally don't mind it too much considering they were only $3 each. I found that the consistency of these shadows was quite dry but still smooth, however colour payoff was still decent. They stayed in place all day with little issues - I have oily eyelids but when I prime my eyes properly I find eyeshadow has no issues staying.

Overall, I'd say for the price these are certainly worth a try. They're definitely not comparable to, say, a MAC eyeshadow, but they are decent quality for the price and if you're like me and have not tried many high end shadows you will find these work just fine.

I've gone through two of these shadows: Brulee and nutty, brulee was a matte light skin tone shade that I used for brow highlighting. Nutty was a shimmery brown-taupe shade similar to Satin Taupe from MAC. Both of these shades were very pigmented, lasted all day and didn't crease. I always used them with a primer, so I can vouch for how they last without, but I can't imagine they would be too different

I have the shade Brulee and use it every single day to highlight under the brow and all over the lid to help blend out other colours. It is so smooth and easy to blend and such a great highlight colour. Would definitely recommend picking one of these up - well worth it and good price.

I love this eyeshadow i so want to try more my color i have is'penny' its a beautiful rose gold color! it one of my favorite eyeshadows, it had nice staying power and very little fallout! and I find its the perfect consistency

These are amazingggg! The colour payoff is fantastic! With a primer, they last all day on my oily lids and they are very easy to blend. I also reccomend the coloricon 6 shade palettes which have a mix of shimmer and matte shades.

Wet n wild shadows always impress me, and these singles are no exception. They have great pigmentation, are easy to blend and are long wearing. Amazing in comparison to other drugstore eye shadows and more comparable to higher end shadows. I highly recommend these and any other wet n wild shadows you can get your hands on. Amazing price too!

I always have 'Brulee' in my make up drawer as it is my perfect highlight & blending shade. It is very pigmented, buttery, blends well and has awesome colour payoff! I often find paler shades to be either really expensive or chalky and unusable.. 'Brulee' is amazing! it is so affordable and has made me keen to try more shades.
