7 Worst Eyeshadows

EYE OPENING!
I like "Beige Blaze," "Platinum Pop," and "Forever Pink" to "open up" my eyes. There is a lot of shimmer. I mix with other colors in the crease, as liners, etc. It does last all day and resists creasing.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Impressed
I have been tempted to buy primer to use with my powder shadows, but I'm glad I bought this product (which combines primer + color) instead. It goes on quickly, is easily blendable with a finger, and you can do a sheer application or layer on the color more heavily. I have both the "extreme green" and "platinum pop." Despite the name, the green is pretty subtle if you want it to be. The silvery li...read moreght blue of "platinum pop" appeals to me less, but I'll still wear it. If Cover Girl adds a plum shade, I'd buy it in a minute! This stays put and looks good for a long time; there is minor creasing, but that can be smoothed out with a finger or Q-tip. Eye shadow has either always disappeared or has caused creases, grrr...I saw this reviewed and with the primer in the formula, I loved it, only tried #800 which is a frosty whitish color, which is my go to color, will def try others, very satisfied and stays on, no creases, if you make a mistake, wipe immediately as it dries quick. This product works excellently. Even though I wouldn't use them on their own, the colours are all gorgeous. I prefer to use this product as a primer, because I originally bought it because the store I went to didn't have L'oreal Decrease (I've never been able to wear eyeshadows without them creasing) and I'm so glad I chose this instead. They really work to make sure that my shadow doesn't crease until I take it off. And I tested some of this on my arm before hopping in the shower - there was still a nice shimmer of color when I got out, I had to use some makeup remover. It has great staying power, especially for the price. My only complaints are that the tube is small, and I wish they had a purple color. i really like this product but not as a stand alone eyeshadow product. i bought this in the lightest color intending to use it as an eyeshadow primer. as a stand alone shadow i feel like its hard to really build the color. but as a primer it works great. in fact i think it may be slightly easier to work with than ud primer potion (which imo feels a little too tacky and sticky for my own preferences). as a primer it intensifies my eyeshadows and prevents them from budging until i take them off. also the price is much better than a lot of the other eyeshadow primers out there! and i also think the large sponge cushion like applicator is kind of novel. I just purchased this on a whim, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised! I got the Blue Bomb shade b/c I was intrigued by it's silvery blue color. For a long time, I've been looking for the right shade of gray to compliment my complexion and replicate a make-up look I saw yrs ago. I've tried dozens of shadows, some very expensive, to no avail, so you can imagine my excitement upon discovering that this relatively inexpensive ds shadow is exactly what I've been searching for! It has just the right undertones and contrast to work with my skintone. I also don't mind the applicator. I just use it to sporadically dot the shadow onto my lids, and then I use a large brush to spread and blend it out. The best thing about this product is that it truly does last all day with no creasing or fading whatsoever!! Honestly, I'm so pleased that I almost feel like going out and stocking up on this stuff, haha.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 15 of 18 people said helpful

Loved it, but is it discontinued???
I was very surprised by how much I liked this products... To be honest, I never thought I would end up using it a primer... I got this in #800. Unfortunately they don't mark the name of the colour on the tube and obviously I through out the packaging, so the number is the only thing that remained, identification wise, but it might be "Beige Blast". So the reason I was attracted to the colour i...read mores because it looked creamy and not too sparkly but yet had enough glow to possibly use it as a highlight under my brow. The first time I tried it, I actually applied it all over my lid, after seeing that it was pretty sheer, thinking that it would be a good over-all base for my eye shadow. But!!! At the end of the day I was so surprised that none of my shadows creased that I ended up using it every single day as an eye shadow primer. So the colour is pretty sheer. I can't say that it's translucent because the colour does transfer somewhat but very minimally. If you are planning to use it only as a primer, you would be safe with any colour you pick. The shade I have (#800) is perfect in my opinion as a highlight and a primer. It stays on all day, prevents your shadows from creasing and has a slightly drier than silky texture that is very easy to work with. The only con I have with this product is the I simply can't find it in stores anymore... And if makes me wonder if it's been discontinued... Too bad if it is, because I find it to be a very good product and would definitely recommend it to all... P.S. If you know of a place where I can get it in Canada (Montreal) please let me know... ;) I last purchased it in August of 2013, and haven't been able to find it anywhere since then...This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful
