Beautiful colors, beautiful texture, long-lasting, no creasing
I think by now people know how great Natasha Denona's eyeshadows are! I am not a fan of palettes (I always end up using only a few shades) so I was very pleased to see Natasha offers singles. Every possible color is offered and the shadows perform beautifully. I don't use a primer on my lids and yet the color lasts, doesn't fade and doesn't crease. How is that possible? My only complaint is that it takes quite a bit of shadow to build to a decent amount of color. I only have matte shades, maybe the chromes, metallics and sparkly options are different? Regardless, the best eyeshadows I've found.
Soft and subtle
Lovely, subtle blush with just a hint of glow. Doline is a warm peachy shade. I brush it over the top of my cheekbones up around my temples to above the eyebrow. I flush a lot so can only wear a hint of color or I look like a clown. The only blush I've been able to wear, and it doesn't make my sensitive skin break out.
I like it
I’ve used Anastasia's Brow Powder, Brow Pencil, Brow Wiz, Dipbrow Pomade and Brow Pen. They are all good products in their own way but I like this best. I like the thickness of the pencil and it has a waxy consistency which applies easily and blends well with the attached spooly brush. It has good lasting power too. If you want tiny, pencil thin application, this may not be right for you, but it works well for me. One of the great things about Anastasia’s products is that once you know your shade, you can move between her products without having to worry about a match. Similar to IT Cosmetics Brow Power, but I like it better.
My go-to brush
I use this brush to both apply and blend eye shadow on my crease. Nothing else compares for me. The unique shape picks up shadow with the tip and applies nicely, then I adjust the angle of the brush slightly to lay a little more flat and blend blend blend. If you want precision, I wouldn't suggest this brush.
Unique brush
I love this brush. I purchased it for a lip brush, but I like it even better to apply eye shadow under my lower lashes. It is firm enough for precision work but also blends really well. It is the only brush of the hundreds I own (OK it just seems like that many) that applies eye shadow perfectly yet gently in my sensitive under eye area. I can see using this brush for any type of precision work. I need to get a second one.
Go-To Brush
This is my go-to brush for most of my eyeshadows. It can be used to lay down shadow and to blend. My favorite thing about Billy B brushes is how small they are, most makeup brushes are too large for my small eyes. This brush is soft and has held together well (so far, I've had it a few months), contrary to a few others review here.
Good, works well
I really like this product. I use it in between washings and it works well to clean and sanitize my brushes. And I really love the scent!
Didn't work for me
I received this product as a free sample and it looks lovely on my skin but ultimately I had to stop using it. Most people have no problems using skin care products that contain silicones, but they sit on top of my skin and clog my pores.
Didn't work for me
This felt lovely on my skin and hydrated well, but my skin broke out after about a week. I have great difficulty with oils, serums and moisturizers on my sensitive, combination skin and unfortunately this product didn't work for me.
Works well
This is a good product that may not be a "miracle" but works well. The eye cream is especially good for me. The other side applies smoothly on top of the cream, covers well (but is not a concealer) and my eyes do look rested. However, my eyes water a little when using this product (it goes away quickly) and I wonder how long it will last since it doesn't appear to hold too much product. We'll see!
