We do this to help with eye shadow longevity, prevent creasing and to increase the colour pay off.
For winter Bourjois have released some cream to powder eye shadows that give a sheer wash of colour with a metallic glittery finish.
I liked the silicone texture and found them easy to blend although I advise not to buff at them to much as the colour does tend to blend away easily. The texture reminded me of the Illusion D'ombre from Chanel although not quite as rich in colour.
I preferred the lighter colours amongst those I tested. I found that the darker colours seemed to go on patchy if buffed on with a fluffy brush. The best way to apply the darker colours are to pack on with a firmer flat brush to avoid this.
I liked how they performed as a base under powder eye shadows though and the light silver and gold were beautiful as a highlighter on the inner corner of the eye or under the brow bone depending on your skin tone.
With one swipe you can see the colour is very rich and it instantly goes to a powder texture.
The metallic finish is created by a very fine glitter pigment running through it.
If you layered these colours on you may get a good days wear but worn alone I'm not sure they would last 24 hours. Let us know if you have tried these and how they worked for you.
These are £6.99 for a 5g pot and available now from Boots www.boots.com and Superdrug www.superdrug.com

These cream-style eye shadow bases seem to be creeping into all of the drugstore makeup brands! I really like them as i'm a younger buyer so they're really cute & easy for me to wear. I do like the maybeline colour tattoos too, but I don't like the colour range. I MUCH prefer this colour range so i'll deffinatley be giving these a try! Thank you bonjouris :)

I swatched these in the shop and the pigmentation was pretty rubbish in person!
ReplyDeleteI really love Oh Desir and Kaki Cheri! Did you use also a primer with these bases?

Tested these out today and you're right about the darker colours. Bit annoying, am after a good navy cream shadow. Texture's lovely though, picked up the Merveille d'argent.
ReplyDeleteUnrealted, I'm a big fan of the Pixiwoo tutorials and you and Nic have mentioned you're looking for ideas so thought I'd chip in.
I'd love a bright Pixiwoo looks inspired by autumn colours; yellows, oranges, burgundies, reds, pinks, golds, bronzes... (Yes, I have green eyes!) Maybe not all in the same look?! Whenever I try something dramatic in those hues it sort of turns into a brown mush :/ I like a brown smoke as much as anyone but they're all over the place at the moment, would be cool to see something a bit brighter.
I know Halloween's over but I love what's going on in this Alex Box creation. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wObqxmxe3WE/TNMG5X1vYiI/AAAAAAAAAV8/PhRuoZEWbls/s1600/alex+box+make+up+artist+mua+gothic+makeup+dark+ghostly.jpg
Obviously that's a lot of makeup! But quite like using leaf skeletons/spindly branches as inspiration for the shapes.
Also winter pastels? I've always found pastels tricky to combine or blend without looking like a wedding cake. I feel like they're always done in Jan/Feb and might be cool to see them before Christmas.
Anyway, keep the wonderful stuff coming, I've learned so much from you guys and your videos always brighten my day!
