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

Why: "The glitter made my eyes itch!" says one woman. "I bought this because you get six complementary colors all in one palette for a 'no-brainer' application. Well, as soon as I applied it, gobs of glitter started falling off my brush and onto my cheeks, my clothes and worst of all, in my eyes. Within minutes my eyes started to get really itchy from all the glitter." Another woman says, "oh, how I wanted to like this. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and they enhanced my hazel-brown eyes so well. But it seems like all or most of them are very glittery. Not shimmer, but actual glitter. I tried this in Sephora and I ended up with glitter all over my under-eye [area] and cheeks." One woman agrees saying, "the other reviewers were right on; I wanted to like this because the color selection was great, but the GLITTER! Having glitter invade your eye half way through application is not fun business. If it was cheaper or they reformulated the glitter shades, I'd deal. Until then, back to the store it goes. Meh."

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!
