I love this eye shadow ! It goes on really nice and doesn't get all over my face and clothing

They aren't the highest of quality but for a cheap eyeshadow duo they work pretty good. Recommend using a primer with them though otherwise they won't stay on the eyelid for very long.

Essence 3D duo eyeshadow
I'd been thoroughly impressed with Essence products so far so I didn't hesitate when I saw the 3D duo eyeshadow in "irresistible purr-ple" which were two shades of purple; a lilac and a grape.
It's packaging and outward appearance is really pretty and the colours jump out at you saying "buy me".
When applying however, I tried a couple times with just the duo before I got frustrated. No matter how I contoured it, it looked very matte and like I had a black eye.
Wiping my eyelid clean, I wet the grape colour and used it as a liner for my top eyelid. I applied a sparkly white from a different brand to most of the lid, then with the lilac colour I gently smudged just out of and over the inner corner of my eye, and then gently dusted it around the white and winged it outwards.
Then wetting the lilac, I painted a very thin line as a liner for my bottom eyelid.
With a thick coat of dark mascara, this ended up being very pretty, but after 4 hours of wear, it had smudged and I was walking around with "black eyes" again and opted to take it off completely to avoid embarrassment.
For that reason, I won't buy this again. For short wear, this can be a very pretty shadow and liner IF you add another base colour and only use it for contouring. When that's done it does give a 3D effect as it says it does but don't be fooled into thinking only the two colours will give you that effect.
Price-wise... Cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I was a little nervous to get it at first because the price was cheap but the product feels like it could be from a high end retail store. This product is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing product for the price it is listed for. Would totally buy again and recommend to all my friends ! thanks for a great product !!

3D Duo is one of my favorite eyeshadow I use from Essence. It works so well. I have tried the teal, pink, and purple and have had amazing results with all of them! The price is great, and even though it's cheap, you still get satisfying results. I have been using these eyeshadows for over a year now and I continue to do so.

the pigmentation of these eyeshadows is ssooooooo good considering is a fairly cheap brand. its just a tad bit too powdery, otherwise i love it!

This eyeshadow is great! The price is perfect.

I find this brand essence is better then cover girl.

I love this product. The price is right and it is as good as the pricey products. LOVE

I used the 3D shadow duo and it had a really nice sheer, sparkle that didn’t need a lot of application to show up. Which i really like because I really find it annoying with some products how you have to keep going over, over just to get it to show up on your skin. Which just makes it not last as long and you run out of it faster. So a plus! I really liked the ‘irresistible Caramel cream’ shade because the lighter colour worked well as a over all base colour and then the brown to accentuate shadowing in the crease for a light smoky effect with shimmer. Not a bad little shadow at all. But I'll probably still stick to my favourite ones I currently use.
