Formula Overview
$25.00/0.056 oz. - $446.43 Per Ounce
The product is described as "intensely pigmented" and long-wearing that is "easy to blend and smudge with a brush or fingers." It is also designed to be layered and is touted as "transfer-proof" and "water-proof." The range comes in both matte and shimmer finishes. Some shades performed better than others, and I'd say that the matte shades tended to be more finicky and less forgiving in application compared to the shimmer shades.
With the matte shades, they were quite pigmented, but they dried down as one blended them out (even while working quite quickly!), which made it a challenge to get an even, blended application of the product. Instead, the product tended to lift and move, creating noticeably patchy areas. I did not feel like it layered as well as the dry down was firmer and a touch tacky, so layering tended to lift up the first layer and increased the unevenness instead.
The shimmer shades had a bit more time to work, which may have been why the seemed easier to use initially, but the working time was still pretty short, and once it started to set, it became difficult to blend. They tended to work "best" applied with a fingertip and blended as one went OR applied with the stick and buffed out only at the edges rather than sheered out. Neither the matte nor shimmer shades were the most flattering to lids with texture or any dryness either.
The wear was inconsistent across shades, but they were not particularly long-wearing. The drier matte shades were prone to flaking and slight creasing after four hours, whereas the shimmery shades were more prone to creasing after three to four hours.

Wow, these have been duds. 😕
Not sure if you are using a brush, a silicone applicator or your fingertip to blend these out, but knowing which way would make a huge difference! I say this because of how I have been able to get just about all shadow sticks to work for me. Mind you, I ONLY use them as my base/primer, so something powder always gets put over them.
Fingertips and brushes – I test cream products both ways!
Oh, that’s definitely good to know, as I see sooo many on YouTube using brushes (something that makes very little sense to me since I view them the way I do pencil liners applied directly from the stick, increment by increment, blending out with my finger as I go!), that’s what made me wonder! In that case, I would have to say that these are pretty bad. I’ll stick with my MUFE, Elf and Nyx versions. Those never let me down, and the warmth of my finger no doubt helps with my getting a sheerer, even coat.
Your Most Disappointing List for the end of the year is going to be choc full of dismal products. This is one set to be included. Appalling quality.
Wow, between these, the Merit shadows (I’m still heartbroken over Social, I wanted it so much) and the Chanel, none of the hyped-up shadows have delivered. Very disappointing.
The name of Nut All Men is cracking me UP.
Ugh, rough swatches, and I haaaaaaate the color names. 😐
I had such high hopes for these and had 4 from the whole line in my cart before your reviews. What a shame! Fenty is such a great brand… I hope they reformulate.
Oh dear, Fenty, what’s happened?? Seems like these will be heading for the bargain bin somewhere!
