7 Worst Eyeshadows

Great Quality
I wear the Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colour in African Violet. It is like a light-medium purple with small gold flecks that blend perfectly into the purple color. It is so beautiful and so perfect for my hazel eyes that I use it all the time and people always compliment me on it. It is neither too purple or too gold, but a perfect satiny/slight shimmer finish. I wear it to work nearly everyday beca...read moreuse it is so easy and lasts all day. Merci bien a vous, Madame Mercier! This review is about the LM baked eye colour palette in champagne, sepia, mink, malt and sterling. I would say this e/s requires a wet application to have consistency with the pigments. If applied dry, it is pretty chalky and there is too much glitter fallout. Dare I say it....UD Cowboy rides again. When wet though, creates a soft pretty shimmer and it is buildable. I think this is going to become one of my daily wear staples for a while. The colors are very warm toned and neutral. I haven't tried the brush that came in it. The container is gorgeous and looks very classy. The reason I gave this a 5 for expensive is because it retails at $48 and it has only 5 colors which are very neutral. The reason I got it was I used the Sephora FF sale. I would buy this again, on sale. I bought a LM palette at xmas. It has 6 shades, 2 matte, 2 Sateen, 2 pearl. The colours, are vanilla nuts, coffee ground, gold, green, light pink and Kir Royal. sorry i cant remeber that the other 3 are called. Once i look again i will update this review. I also bought LM limited edition baked eyeshadow set. of the 2 sets, i prefer the 6 colour one more. The baked shades, go on best wet to get colour on your lids. The reviewer below is right in that it is kinda chalky when dry. But it is a really beautful neutral shimmery colour (but not overly shimmery!) LM eyeshadows are really nice. they are really well pigmented the colour lasts me all day (even withought primer). they blend well just great quality in general. My 6 colour palette gives me endless combinations! I like coffee ground, its a great shade for me to fill in my eyebrows. it also works well as a creae colour. the only bad thing i can say about LM is the price... My palette both cost me about $50 AUS. but the packaging is sturdy and they are good to mix and mathc the eye colours so good for travelling. one other thing is that the palettes give you a brush, and OMG, LM brushes are really great!!! they pick up colour so well and it deposits on your lids so well! The eyeshadow brush and crease brush travel duo is my staple every day! I would buy these brushes separatly if i could!! but they are soo pricey! if anyone doesnt like theirs contact me and i would be happy to take them off you! These are some of the best eye shadows I've ever used and I've used a lot of different brands! They're very finely milled so they go on like a dream. Using the proper LM brush also makes a huge difference. Hate the initial expense, but love the look and tend to use it every day thereafter. My HG that I use daily is Bordeaux, which isn't listed on MUA individually for some reason. It's a greyish-brownish medium purple, the perfect neutral for the crease of a green-eyed girl. Makes my eyes pop! Try the ponytail brush to apply in the crease.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 14 people said helpful

Very High quality
This eyeshadow is highly pigmented, finely milled, goes on silky smooth, and very blendable. It comes in great color selection, with the most wearable shades. Allows you to customize in any ways you like into a palette, making this worth your investment. One of the best eyeshadows out there.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 14 people said helpful

Laura keeps it classy
Very few prestige brands offer a decent line of matte shadows, which is a pity because they are so fresh and pretty when done right. Stila and Urban Decay have good mattes, but the colors are extremely limited. Not so Laura Mercier, who proffers a beautiful line of matte shades. These little shadows won't crease, migrate, or wear off before you take them off. They are well worth the high price tag.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 12 of 18 people said helpful
