7 Worst EyeshadowsFrom smoky hot messes to glittery disasters -- our readers recommend keeping your brushes far away from this eye makeup |
2 of 8
Why: One reader says, "This tin is so hard to open I won't even use the shadows! I have other products in tins -- glosses mostly -- and they are no problem. This one will get thrown out." And if you do manage to get one open, here's what's inside: "The color selections are just beautiful, but too bad they flake so badly. The particle size is too big and the powder is dry, it doesn't pick up well on my brushes. This is a cheaply made formula in cheap containers trying to sell for big bucks -- not worth it! I had to return mine to the store." Another person says, "I bought the cake for brown eyes from Sephora online and was so excited to try it. There were so many colors in the cake, and they all looked like 'me' shades. However, there is absolutely no pigmentation to these, if I could get any shadow on my brush at all. Even wet, I could barely get an application."

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!
