Flops On "High-Intensity" Promise
I used to eye the HiP eyeshadows when I was in high school, and now that I happen to get a hold of a couple of these Bright Eyeshadow Duos, I'm not sure why I wanted them so badly years ago. The colors look bright and promising in the pans, but applying them takes a lot of work. I find that the pans are so stiff that I had to use my nails to scratch the surfaces of each color to powder it up a little, and only then was it somewhat effective at building any intensity. Blending is terrible, since seems to apply unevenly even when patted thoroughly over a primer. This works out much better with wet applicators or brushes, but skip it if you prefer dry or on-the-go applications. I will be doing the latter.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the brown pigment in this package. I can use this color for my eyes,brows and contouring. I have looked high and low and have not found a dupe for this color yet. The pink color is not all the shabby either. Great on my complexion. Good product for a store brand.
Color looks better in the package
I always love to try new things when it comes to makeup. I saw the Pink and Brown and loved it. However, I was disappointed with the actual product when I tried to use it. The pink although pigmented did not last, felt cheap and chalky. And the brown had absolutely no pigment at all, I had to chip the shadow into pieces to even get any color. I feel for the quality the shadow is a bit expensive.
Pleasantly Suprised!
I bought this for my Halloween costume, because I was being a barbie and this had a very hot pink in it. Man, was that a good choice! The pigmentation is really good for drugstore. I obviously don't use it everyday, because it has a hot pink and a brown (when I'd rather use my Naked Palette browns) but it's great for travel!
The brown in this duo is amazing. Its my everyday crease colour or my every time I put makeup on crease colour. really good stuff and a good amount in the container as well.
