MAC Naturally Mineralize Eyeshadows Review, Photos, Swatches When an eyeshadow fades over primer and used wet, it's just not a product that endears itself! The texture is soft, and only In the Sun felt a little rougher, almost gritty, from the sparkle. If you're normally a fan of Mineralize Eyeshadows, I imagine you'll enjoy these–they feel a little...

Buxom Stay-There Eyeshadows Review, Photos, Swatches (Part 1) Stay-There Eyeshadows have a spongy quality that reminds me of memory foam; you can press it, and it will slowly spring back to form.

NYX Cool Blue Eyeshadow Review, Photos, Swatches The lightness in the color with the matte finish does give the texture a chalky feel, and the texture is more powdery compared to other NYX eyeshadows. It's very soft and powdery, so while it blends easily, it fades and sheers out just as easily. When worn, even over a primer, I felt it had...

NYX Seafoam Green Eyeshadow Review, Photos, Swatches It could be more pigmented, too — you can see it's not fully opaque and even in the swatch. When I tested Seafoam Green, it wore for six hours before it started to fade somewhat without a base, but it seemed fine after eight hours when applied over an eyeshadow base. THE GLOSSOVER PRODUCT...

NARS Outremer Eyeshadow Review, Photos, Swatchesis a shade that applies better than it seems when first swatched.

TheBalm Risque Renee Eyeshadow Review, Photos, Swatches my thoughts on the formula: theBalm's eyeshadows are soft, silky smooth, and packed with pigment.
