Bronze a gorgeous shade

Was inspired to try this after watching youtube reviews. The bronze shade is so nice with brown eyes and fair skin. I haven't quite got the knack of application, my hands seem to be too clumsy to get an accurate deposit of colour without it ending up all over my face. May look at some other shades in the range though as love the blendability of this.

Tips: Apparently this is best applied by hand

Easy to apply and long-lasting

I picked up the leather shade and it has quickly become a staple in my make-up routine. I thought I would use this product as a primer but fell in love with the leather shade - it's a great neutral on my light skin, and works well on its own so it makes it fast and easy to do my eyes with a quick swipe of the colour. The colour applies lighter on my skin than it appears in the jar, but it's easy to build up. The product is easy to apply using my finger, smooth to the touch, and soft when swiping across my eye lid. It dries quickly, and lasts the whole day. I don't end up with any creasing, and I have oily eyelids/skin. The jar is on the heavier, bulkier side when in my daily make-up case but I'll have this for a long time as a little goes a long way.

Tips: It dries quickly, so blend out immediately with your finger, or with a firm brush.

Tattoo

I have a minty green and baby blue/steel colour, I scored them for $1 each at postie plus during there huge christmas clearance. Was so happy I gave these a try as usually I stick to powder not gel or cream. These are vivid and really are like a tattoo, they have amazing staying power but still blend nicely, one colour can look like 2 or 3 shades if blended in different places.

Stunning colours and long wear

I own the eye shadows in the shades Icy Mint and Seashore Frosts. The eye shadows have nice packaging; which consists of heavy glass pottles which makes them feel extra fancy. Icy Mint is a gorgeous mint shimmer but isn't very pigmented and requires 3 coats to become a solid colour. Seashore Frosts is a stunning blue-green with a gold iridescent shimmer to it. It requires 2 coats to become a solid colour for me. These were the first creme eye shadows I tried and I am very impressed. The colours are stunning, they last for me all day without any fall-out, creasing or fadeage and I am certain they would last for 24 hours if I wanted to wear them for that long. They are tricky to get off with make-up remover but that just shows their staying powder. I love these as they are easier to apply than powder eye shadows and they last for much longer.

Tips: Apply with a dampened eye shadow brush rather than your finger to build up colour more quickly.

My First Cream Eyeshadow

I find these work really well as eyeshadow bases, and it really does help my powder shadows that I layer on top to stay put during the day!

With the Color Tattoos, I have minimal problems with creasing. The colours are very vibrant and catches the light very prettily. I find the lighter colours (like 100 Barely Beige) works very well as inner corner highlights or as a highlight on the face itself.

The only problem I have with this is that my brush doesn't seem to pick up much product, so I have to use my fingers instead-but when I do, it's hard to take off especially when I'm in a rush in the morning!

Tips: Use fingertips for application for the best blending effect

Disappointing - creases badly

I bought this in the shade Bad to the Bronze as I was attracted to the shade - a great light sparkling gold colour. Unfortunately it is too pale for me and I don't like the look of it on my eyelids unless it is layered with a darker shadow, but my real gripe is that it creases on me! I'm not a fan for this reason - I cannot stand creased eyeshadow. The formula is nice though, cream eyeshadows are so easy to use and the colour range of these is great and increasing all the time.

Tips: If you have issues with these creasing try MAC pro longwear paint pots - which DO NOT BUDGE!

LOVE!

I have a few of these now, and mainly use them as a base for my eyeshadow as they work amazing as an eye primer because of how long they last. These literally last until you wash them off, and they don't budge! It is a nice, thick sticky kind of formula and once you apply it it sets and it's stuck there until you remove it! It is easy to apply, and you don't need much... Not to mention affordable and they are actually quite large pottles I have barely made a dent because a little goes a long way! And there is basically every colour imaginable....

Tips: I have also got a brown shade one (taupe i think it is) and Let me just say it is perfect for my eyebrows!!!! I literally use it to fill them in and my eyebrows stay all day and the colour is pretty good match aswell! (apply with an angle brush)

A-MA-ZING

These things are so great I now own 3! They are so creamy and pigmented, they are easy to apply with fingers or a brush. You can wear them fine alone or under other colours. Cheap as it is but you can often find them on special too! I also love how you can get matts and sparkles!

Gold Plus Others

So far I only have one shade, which is Bold Gold and I am so incredibly in love with it. It did come with a little layer of... pigment, I guess? on the top of it but once I got that off I discovered a beautiful, creamy golden eyeshadow that I have worn both on its own and as a base. It's absolutely gorgeous, buildable intensity and so easy to just apply with your fingers. Doesn't crease or smudge although sometimes you might get a tiny bit of fallout with the shimmer. Really love it though and I'm desperate to buy more shades.

Update: To avoid going over the character limit I will list good and bad shades.

Good shades: Shimmering Sea, Sunwashed Sky, Inked in Pink, Tough as Taupe, Gold Rush, Audacious Asphalt, Turquoise Fever, Fierce and Tangy, Too Cool.

Not so great shades that come off patchy: Barely Branded and Electric Blue.

Tips: Apply with fingertips, I personally hate applying most shades with a brush, but sometimes for the darker colours a brush is your best bet.
