Product description

Masterpiece Colour Precision Eyeshadows from Max Factor offer subtle colour and precise eye framing with the precision applicator tip, creating a soft and natural look. Plus the creamy texture of these eyeshadows makes them ideal if you need a change from the look of powdery eyeshadows. The range of colours mean that you can change your look to suit your mood: the tonal shades allow you to sculpt and shape your eyes with hints of gold and taupe while the pastels add fun and colour to your eyes.

How to Use

Always apply shadow in small amounts and blend, blend, blend.

Masterpiece Colour Precision Eye Shadow in Pearl Beige can be used as a highlighter. Draw a C-shape on your temples around your eyes for a candle-lit skin look.

Masterpiece Colour Precision Eye Shadow can be used on its own, or layered under any Earth Spirits or Duo Eyeshadow for added depth and intensity.

Ingredients: C11-12 Isoparaffin, Mica, Talc, Quaternium-18 Hectorite, Polyethylene, Cera Carnauba, Trihydroxystearin, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Propylene Carbonate, Cera Alba, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Bisabolol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Lecithin, Glyceryl Oleate, Glyceryl Stearate, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, [+/- CI 77007, CI 77288, CI 75470, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77891]

My Opinion:

I don't wear eye shadows everyday, but my lids are naturally very pigmented, so I need something to even them out, and this product gives me that fresh and bright look. I've been alternating between this and benefit lemonaid, and I still can't determine which one I like better, because lemonaid provides a matte finish (which I do prefer), but it creases, while maxfactor do not crease but it has a sheen in it.

Another issue that needs to be mentioned is the scent, this stuff smells awful, I've actually though that I had a bad tube and threw it away and went to the store to get a new one, but it still smells awful, so I guess that is the scent of the product...

Come out of the shadows and into the light!
Accentuate and brighten your eyes with illumination instead of traditional shadowing! Brighten dark-looking eyelids with the discreet use of corrective colors for instant, natural brilliance. This unique "eyelighter" is an original impressionistic composition of colors designed to catch the light and radiate a soft glow. It's the easiest way to enhance your eyes with a simple sweep of a brush!

Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Nylon 12, Bis Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate 2, Cetyl Dimethicone, Lauroyl Lysine, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, May Contain (+/-): Iron Oxides, Ultramarines, Manganese Violet, Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake

My Opinion:

I think the name of this product is just spot on, "eyelighter", a highlighter for your lids. Although it looks like an eyeshadow, it does not have much pigmentation, only a sheen, and it works pretty well in brightening your lids.

I do like this product, but I still prefer Benefit Lemon Aid over this, because it's matte and I can wear it alone without makeup and it wouldn't look too obvious.

PDC Pmel Glitter Eye Color

Shade: Nude Beige
Price: HK$98.00
Local of Purchase: SASA

According to SASA's webpage:

 

PDC Pmel Glitter Essence Eye Color makes lower eyelids look full and teary. It contains collagen, squalane. No fragrance, no mineral oil, no alcohol. Resistant to tears and sweat.

Ingredients:

There's a full list of ingrediens in Japanese which I'm not even goint to attempt to translate, but according to PDC's webpage, the main ingredients are collagen, retinol derivates, hyalluronic acid and squalene.

 

My Opinion:

 

This comes in 2 shades, pink and beige, and since pink never looks good on me, I got it in beige.

 

According to most of the Japanese magazine, girls are highlighting under their lashline, like the picture underneath, it's suppose to give you a bright eye look.

 

I've tried this method, but it didn't look good on me, it just emphasis my eye bags, so I've been using it mainly around the tear duct area to open up my eyes.

 

This comes in a sponge tip applicator, and the product is actually inside the cap, so you have dip into the cap to get your product.

 

This is not glitter, is just a pearlescent powder that will brighten up your eyes, and since the applicator fits perfectly into my inner corner, it makes application so easy.

I got these shadows because I keep on hearing people comparing them to the Armani Eyes to Kill, which is something that I've really enjoyed using, especially  when I'm in a rush (which is basically everyday).

 

Honestly I don't think they are comparable, the Eyes to Kill is a blend of several colors, even on it's own you will notice different shades under different lighting, while the color infallible is just a flat shade, basically what you see in the pan is what you get.

 

Don't get me wrong, the Color Infallible are actually very pigmented and I do like it (especially permanent kaki), but they are just different from Eyes to Kill.

Mac Eye Shadow

Contents: 1.5g (0.05 uz oz)

Price: HKD135.00

Shade: Wedge

Ingredients:Talc, Zinc Stearate, Octyldocecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Isostearyl Neopentanoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol [+/-Silica, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Bismuth Oxychloride, (CI 77163), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090), Carmine, (CI 75470), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Red 40 Lake (CI 16035), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140)]

My Opinion:

I know this might sound unbelievable, but this is actually my first Mac single eyeshadow. I don't usually wear shadows on a daily basis, and for most of the time I prefer to buy quads or pallettes. I got this on an impulse and have been loving it. I mainly use it for blending, and I think I might go back and get a few more basic/neutral shades from MAC (I have my eyes on brule, all that glitters and patina) .

容量： 1.5g (0.05 uz oz)

價錢： HKD135.00

顏色： Wedge

我的意見：

這是小妹的第一盒MAC單色眼影，一般都比較喜歡買多色眼影quad，但近期比較喜歡啞色眼影所以就了這盒來試。主要用它作blending，效果不錯，令我想買多幾隻不同的顏色。

La Pensee Multi Eye Shadow

Shade: 02
Price: HK$18.00

My Opinion:

When I've seen this in the store I though that it might be a good dupe for the Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes palette, but when I've swatch it at the back on my hand it was a huge dissapointment. The 3 lighter shades all look exactly the same, just a light wash of sheen, only the 2 darkest shade seems to show up, poor pigmentation.

顏色： 02
價錢： HK$18.00

我的意見：
見到這個眼影時覺得顏色很像Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes，可惜買了回家後才發現一點也不像，比較淺色的那３個顏色，根本就只有珠光，看不到顏色。比較深的那兩個啡色亦只看到丁點兒顏色。
