This is a good product, it stays on all day and looks great! The colours are perfect with my skin tone and I don't have complaints about it.
I definitely have to apply primer for this eyeshadow to last and not crease. I love the color combination. I was able to achieve a smoky look. It was easy to apply and I was satisfied with the way it looked.
I bought this in 'Sunlit Bronze', and it is a very good combination of colors. Although I mistakenly bought colors fairly close to my skin tone, they are still very pigmented and very easy to blend. I especially appreciate that it includes placement instructions! I don't necessarily dedicate myself to these instructions, but they are fantastic guidelines for beginners!
If you are looking for an inexpensive way to make your eyeshadow look great, I would totally reccomend this product! I have major issues applying eyeshadow to the right places (depending on the colors), but this shadow tells you exactly where everything should be applied! (from the brow bone to the crease, lid and corners!) Literally could be put in an "Applying make-up for Dummies book". It made my eyes look great on nights out.
I thought this product was impeccable! (great marketing Maybelline) The colors work great for any skin-tone and the colors can stand on their own. Some days I just use the lid and brow colors, and to add a dramatic night time look I incorporate the crease.
As mentioned, there is a bit of shimmer in the lid color, but I didn't think it was too dramatic for day wear. It all depends on your outfit and attitude. This trio actually does the opposite of what you think it would do - it actually brightens your eyes rather than dulling them out. Of course, the more dark grey you use, the more moody the look becomes.
Try it for yourself.
These 3 eyeshadow colours work very well together if blended properly. If not... it may give you those dreaded black eyes or look like you put it on with your toes! Don't forget to blend ladies!
I agree with some of the reviewers about the staying power. I cannot wear this without a eye shadow primer at all, otherwise it becomes a greasy mess on my eyelids by mid-afternoon.
The pigmentation of these shadows was ok, good for creating a smokey eye. I don't think I would purchase this product only because I really do prefer eye shadows with better staying power.
This was one of my Shopoholic Movie night freebies! I've used it a few times and really like the look I can get with the shades... anything from office casual to sexy, smokey, going-out eyes! At first, I was apprehensive that the grey tones would just make it look like I had two black eyes! But with a little practice the shades work well together and with my skin tone! I found that they didn't last all day, but most of the day it was ok.
Maybelline always has good eyeshadows for the price! I have a couple of their eye shadow trios and like using them all! I would recommend this product to my friends! Great product at a good price!
It's great. I would've chosen a darker shade as I like the darkest colour to be a fair bit darker than the other ones. I really like that they tell you what colour goes where. It says lid and crease. Very smart packaging. I would like it to last a little longer, it wore off by the late afternoon. Overall, it's a good shadow for a good price
I love using this to create a soft smokey effect.
Pros: the colors are very true, beautiful shimmer, long lasting
Cons: I've noticed, particularly with the impeccable grays that every time i re-buy it, the shade of the silver and the dark gray change slightly not a whole lot, but just enough to bug me a little.
