7 Worst Eyeshadows

Primer REQUIRED
This is one of the worst eyeshadows I have ever tried. :( I just loved the colors in my trio, West Vintage (a beautiful, deep green and purple - should have been perfect for Fall!); however, the quality is just so poor that it was just disappointing! I first tried it without a primer to see how it would perform on its own, but within just a few hours I could see that a primer was required. Unfortu...read morenately, I think even a cream base shadow WITH a primer would be best (and who wants to go through additional steps??). The colors in all of the trios look so pigmented and intense (and with a name like "HD" I had high expectations) but the pigmentation was just so poor - I had to reapply and reapply, and then blend and blend some more. There was also more fallout than I would like. To further add to this, I have never had a shadow not last through the day, especially with a primer (creasing yes, but not fading or streaking). These shadows faded throughout the day and about 6-8 hours in, I literally could WIPE away the shadow off of my eye. That was how much it was just not sticking to my eyelid. I hate rating products as a "1;" I feel like there is at least SOME redeeming quality about most products - this one is the color, unfortunately, they just couldn't pull it off in the pigmentation or staying power.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Disappointing...
I just picked up two of these while on sale. One was "West Vintage" which contained a light sage green, a medium green, and a beautiful plum shade. It was stunning, and I was so excited to try it out. The other shade was "Concrete Jungle" which contained navy, white, and grey. I really wanted to love both of them, especially the green/purple shades. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I tried the g...read morereen & purple trio and found that the purple especially just lacks pigment. It's sort of chalky, and there's a lot of fallout. I ended up giving up when I realized it simply was not going to do what I wanted it to. Perhaps I'll give it another try with an eyeshadow primer, but as it stands... I'd stick with Wet N Wild's trios if you're looking for an affordable eyeshadow trio.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
