More Fallout than Pigmentation for me :/
I got mines at walmart (no surprise), and I was so excited to buy them, since I have seen many reviews that gave them a good outcome. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't satisfied. I have been trying to find a really nice gold burnt orange color, and I thought this product would do the job. I applied it without primer, with primer, with primer and a base, I tried it wet, dry. It still came out the same...not enough pigmentation. I was kind of upset since only one hip duo here in Hawai'i is about $8, so I should have been smart and waited for a sale. I had extreme fall out, and the consistency when applying the eyeshadow, it turns out chalky no matter how you apply it. There is more glitter/shimmer, than the color itself. I don't know what I'm going to use it for, but the other color that came with the duo works fine as a sheer highlight under my brow bone. I usually do nice reviews, but this one made me dissapointed. I might buy a couple more anyway, since I've been always wanting their pigments, and their cream eyeliners work great as a base!
I have bought SO many of these H.I.P duos. Some are definitely better than other as far as pigment! Flare is my favorite! That orange is gorgeous on my skin tone and the peachy gold color is the perfect highlight.
The only thing I don't love is the fallout. The fallout is insane on these products! One cure for that is to tap your brush before you apply or even use your fingers (especially if you're just applying a highlight). I've noticed that is the best way for me to avoid fallout!
They could be a little cheaper because I believe retail is about $8.00.... I think they're more worth $5 or 6. Other than that, they're pretty good!
ok
This eyeshadow duo isn't very good in my opinion. It was pigmented yes but very crumbly in the texture. They were hard to blend with other colors and I was sad since the colors in flare are GORGEOUS looking!
