The
packaging of the product is interesting. When the product is closed and you can
see it through the hard plastic square casing (like in my first picture), this
is actually the bottom of the eye-shadow pot. The top is where the name of each
shade is written. When you unscrew the lid, there is a grey coloured cover with
a small handle, over the product. These covers have a note to do not discard so
they probably serve the purpose of pressing and keeping the shadows intact.
Each eye-shadow has 3.5grams of product. Just for reference a normal MAC
eye-shadow pot holds 1.5g, a MAC cream eye-shadow (like the metal X) has 2.4g
or a MAC paint pot has 5g. Overall I love the luxurious feel of the packaging.
It makes the product look classy.
Let’s
talk about texture! It’s more like a cream product but applies like you would a
regular powder eye-shadow. It feels
really soft and applies smoothly onto the lids.
What
about colour? One swipe gives you a nice amount of colour but I needed to build
up for it to appear as vibrant as it does in the pan.
As for
the product wear on my regular normal skin of my small eyes, I found it was
easy to apply onto the lids and it blended well with other shades and other
eyeshadows. I experience minimal fallout at application which you need to
remove immediately since it sticks to the skin rather quickly or just remove
with eye makeup remover. I tested all three shades at different days for a
normal work day (between 8-12 hours on certain days) and there was no fading or
creasing for me. The product colour appeared quite vibrant as when first
applied but I did get some more fallout by the end of the day. So I had some
shimmery particles on my cheeks. You should note the product claims 24 hour
wear; maybe one day I will try that test. Now onto the swatches!

Blue, Perpetual Purple, Bronzed Taupe

Midnight
Blue is a deep intense blue with a shimmery finish. Perpetual Purple is a red
based purple also with a shimmery finish. Bronzed Taupe is just like the name
suggests with a shimmery finish.
Possible
ways to wear these three:
Apply Bronzed Taupe as the main lid colour with a dark chocolate matte brown in
the crease with a matte skin tone highlight. This is a glam day look that I
even wear at the office. Midnight Blue would make a great smoky blue eye. Try
pairing both Midnight Blue and Perpetual Purple on the lid for a bright bold
eye.
These
three shades are so gorgeous that I feel I should take a look at the other
colours in the range. Make some time to try these out! And stayed tuned for
some actual looks from me using these almost infallible eye-shadows.
Happy Infallible Eye-shadows!
