7 Worst EyeshadowsFrom smoky hot messes to glittery disasters -- our readers recommend keeping your brushes far away from this eye makeup |

Why: "I had high expectations from this eyeshadow and it failed to deliver. First of all, it's very chalky. Second, I had to layer it quite a bit in order to have any color on the eyelid, even with primer. The packaging is cute, but for $9 I was expecting better quality," says one reader. Another comments, "this is not up to the usual standards of Physicians Formula products. The shadow is pale -- I think the shadow needs more pigment." One reader says, "it's not the best eyeshadow I've used, but it works for everyday wear. I have the one for brown eyes and it slightly brightens up my eyes without looking too 'done up' which is OK for where I am now (military). But I wouldn't wear it to go out at night because the colors are not vibrant enough. It works for the day and that's just about it. I wouldn't wear it for anything special."

i agree with most of these. i tried maybelliene (spelling?) when i was in high school cuz it was cheap n there was no color whatsoever. since that horrible experience, i have never bought their eye shadow ever since. i bought vincent longo's "dawn flesh" a few years ago, n it's my go-to eye shadow whenever i want to highlight my eyes n want the shimmer and color to last all day.

I agree with pretty much all of these, having tried most of them, but I too was a bit shocked as I had found the CoverGirl one to be bad as they normally have really good quality products! But I do agree with all the ones I have tried from that list!!

I normally really like CoverGirl so really surprised to see them listed but glad to know to stay away from it now. Had planned on getting it to try out

Well, I can add CALVIN KLEIN - Eye Color Tempting Glimmer Sheer Creme EyeShadow to this list - tried today. It is nice, it covers nice, but the creasing is worse than any cheapest eyeshadow I tried, even using it with eyeshadow base...

Those Rimmel Duos really are horrible.

I'm so glad I didn't waste my money on the Cover Girl smokey eye stick, it seems like a great idea but all I pictured was it breaking on 1st application and after reading this it seems I wasn't wrong!
