Giorgio Armani Copper/Black Grey (15) Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow

Giorgio Armani Copper/Black Grey (15) Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadow ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is slightly cool-toned bronzy brown with a hint of taupe in it.  There’s a muted quality about the overall color that makes it a really wearable but rich brown.   It works well whether it is used dry or wet–when used wet, it seems like the color has a warmer undertone.  The finish is a reflective, metallic sheen with a bronzy-gold micro-shimmer.

The texture of the Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadows is interesting; it’s a really compacted loose powder, but it’s so finely milled that it almost feels like a hybrid cream-powder. Each pot contains 0.14 oz. worth of product, which is a good amount, given that most pressed eyeshadows average around 0.05 oz. I have worn around half of the range alone on lids with 12+ hours of wear without creasing, smudging, or fading.

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I have been lusting after these, but was put off by the price. I just did the math, though, and this is quite reasonably-priced given the volume. I’ll have to go look at these in person. Thanks, Christine!

Hi Christine,

Did you try the new l’oreal infallible color? Eveyone was saying how they are dupe of Armani eyes to kill e/s. Will you be comparing those 2 eyeshadows?

I emailed her with the exact same question a few weeks ago and she said they aren’t available in the US.

I have a matte L’Oreal infaillible (16 Coconut Shake, a light, skin-coloured one I use as a matte highlighter) and like it, but I have no idea how it compares to the shimmery ones. From what I swatched in the shop, the shimmery ones seemed really pigmented though!

The Loreal Infallible colour eyeshadows are nothing compared to the Armani ETK. I have a few of both of them but for me the ETK are much more intense and multi dimensional. It also has a good lasting power.

Love! I wanted to know, by any chance do u have reviews seperated by grade? Like if i wanted to look up all reviews with “A” ratings can i do that?

Thanks Christine! I’ve been waiting for your swatch of #15 since you started your ETK series. Would you know if this will be available at Nordstrom by any chance? Thanks!
