L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Bronzed Taupe

I never thought I’d ever put a L’oreal product in my HG list. This shadow is really the bomb.I got it because I heard it’s a dupe for MAC’s satin taupe but this is so much better.  A while back, Giorgio Armani released a new eyeshadow formula, Eyes to Kill, which had everyone excited. those looked so heavenly that I lusted and lusted after them. but I’d never buy a $32 eyeshadow.  Shortly thereafter, L’Oreal (which is owned by the same company as Armani) released a budget version. the quality of these is similar to  the Armani Eyes to Kill, but low budget types.

L’oreal says :introducing an ultra intense eye shadow that lasts from day until dawn—a full 24 hours. This revolutionary formula fuses the ease of a powder with the velvety caress of a cream to create a unique hybrid that glides on effortlessly. And with its unique technology, your eyes are enhanced with pure, magnified pigment.

Cost : $8 for 0.12 oz, available at most drugstores

Appearance  : It’s like a wet looking loose powder that’s been packed down and pressed, though not actually wet. and it doesn’t crumble on you unless you jam your brush in it.

Packaging -It comes  in a glass screw-top jar with a little plastic insert that you’re instructed not to throw out, as it’s useful for re-packing down the powder. It basically keeps the powder in place  and not be messy.

My experience with Bronzed taupe : I can’t really explain how the color looks like.The beauty of this shade is – It’s a color that has both cool and warm tones (either is more prominent when matched with a cool or warm skin tone) which makes it a great color that almost anyone can pull off.  So according to your skin tone & the light that falls on you, it can look taupe-y or bronze with a golden sheen to it. Was very difficult to photograph too. Most of the times I use it alone without additional colors. It can be used with brushes, fingers, sponge applicators, and wet or dry. I apply it with my finger & then blend with a brush. when I apply it in the crease, it looks very different and intense.  It stays on my oily lids for about 5-6hrs and then starts creasing a bit. on normal lids it might stay 24hrs as stated (hmphhh)
