Giorgio Armani #26 Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow
#26 is More Dazzling Than It Lets On
Giorgio Armani #26 Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is muted, golden bronze-brown with a golden shimmer-sheen. It’s warm-toned without reading too orange or too red. Urban Decay Chase is slightly redder. theBalm Seductive is similar, a little lighter. Wet ‘n’ Wild Comfort Zone has less shimmer. MAC Soba is a bit less warm. MAC Tempting is darker, more bronzy.
On the surface, it lacks some of the depth and interplay of colors that makes the formula standout in a sea of eyeshadows. In person, it’s a little different–yeah, the color is dupeable–but the finish is absolutely sparkling with winking shimmer and micro-glitter (it doesn’t even feel or look like glitter). Very glitzy in a no-fallout kind of way; not sure it’s a must-have, because the color is still more common than uncommon, but it’s something worth swatching if you’re near a counter.
The texture is finely-milled, soft, and smooth. The color payoff was good both dry and wet, though a little darker and smoother when applied wet. I tested this shade on the inner half of the lid (with #28 on the outer half of the lid), and the wear was impeccable–no creasing, fading, or fall out over an eight hour period.

Very pretty .. I think the bobbi brown long wear cream shadow in sugar bronze or beach bronze would be a great dupe !
Oooh I like it a lot. This is a shade I’d use a lot.
NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it 🙁
It’s very pretty, but I’m starting to feel like too many ETK are some variation of gold or bronze…I want to start seeing more colors. That 28 is so gorgeous though, lovely rosey bronze.
yellowlantern As much as I love this colour, your point is valid, I think. I can’t see myself buying the ETK “collection’.. to many similarities.
yellowlantern Thankfully!!!
I was just thinking the same… I’m loving #28, and I’m not big on golds.
This is pretty…but I feel like it’s not special enough to warrant spending the extra money. I’ll stick with the Infallibles on this one…
#28???
GORGEOUS! I love glitzy eyeshadows but I feel like glitter and particles always fall out extra bad on me if it’s a powder shadow. I need this!
I have it! I tried it on top of different cream eyeshadows and it is so beautiful. I tried it on Blackground paint pot from Mac and it is almost like ETK #25 and Mac’s paint pot Genuin Treasure.
VERY pretty and yummy looking! hehe
hehe, looks like i was talking about the 28 but the 26 is pretty too.
