Eye shadow always creases on my eyelids due to oily eyelids, or even melts and runs down / transfers to my lower eye area, resulting 'panda eyes'. Not only happens during the summer, but in the winter as well...
When I was packing to Thailand, I was not planning on bringing any eye makeup at all since I was pretty much convinced that I was going to be so hot and sweaty during my holiday, and any eye makeup would just make me look worse. However, when my lovely boyfriend realised I was not planning on doing eye makeup during the holiday, he started teasing at me, "Oh no! You are not going to do any eye makeup? I was going planning to take lots of photos though! That means everyone's going to notice you have such small eyes?"OK... I'd better dig in my collection and see what I could do...
I brought this eyeshadow with me to the holiday and had been using it as a base for my Maybelline eyeshadow quad.
I'm not going in-depth of what I think about this Maybelline product here since this post the Benefit product.
The benefit eyeshadow worked great as a base, my powder eyeshadows and eyeliner did not crease / melt at all during the whole trip. My eyeshadow stayed put all day and I am talking about putting up my make up 10a.m. (or earlier) until mid-night, that's more than 12 hours. Why I am so sure it was because of this eyeshadow? Well, the only time my Maybelline eyeshadow quad does not crease on me was during winter in the UK.
For the eyeliner, it normally starts to transfer to my upper eyelid on my right eye few hours after application. All eyeliners I own do that due to my 'hidden double eyelid'. However, I did not transfer at all during the trip, that's why I am guessing it's the benefit eyeshadow stopping any sweats and / or oils from getting in contact with the eyeliner and melting down other products I used, working as a barrier :D
Even though I did not use any other eyeshadow base, this benefit eyeshadow is quite true to colour. It is advertised as an eyeshadow as well as a liner, I guess you could use it as a gel liner with an angled brush if you wish to, well, with another shade of course!
This is a very shimmery warm-toned brown with a hint of rosy colour I would say, a very universal colour.
