Day (31)

Giorgio Armani Day (31) Eye Tint ($39.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a pale white with silver and white sparkle and flecks of glitter. It had sheer coverage and seemed to have less chunky glitter compared to other shades, so it wasn’t as unforgiving on the lid when layered, though I wouldn’t want to layer it as it did still have a clumpier, more textured finish to it. It had a more watery texture, which I expected based on past experience with the formula, that dried down quickly enough that I could diffuse it as a sheer wash and have it set before settling into my creases and fine lines. On its own, it wore well for nine hours before there was noticeable fallout.

It’s one of six new shades that was made to be “ultra-sheer” and “shimmering” that can be “layered repeatedly.” I liked the concept–effectively a shimmery top coat in liquid format–but I found that the formula was far from being able to layer it “repeatedly” as it would clump up, apply unevenly, and was just exceptionally difficult to apply whether I used the included doe-foot applicator, fingertips, or a separate brush. I had the best luck patting the product on top of another powder eyeshadow but only in a sheer, single layer, and it looked prettier in person, at a normal viewing distance, and less-so close-up.

Blue Reflection (32)

Giorgio Armani Blue Reflection (32) Eye Tint ($39.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a soft lavender with chunky glitter. It had sheer coverage that applied somewhat evenly, but the myriad of particle sizes made it appear somewhat clumpy and uneven in practice. It did not want to be layered, as it only worsened the unevenness in texture and made it more prone to flaking off during wear. As a single, sheer layer product on the lid, the color stayed on well for nine hours before there was slight fallout over time (not 16-hour wear as claimed), though the glitter would flake off if I rubbed my eyes moderately (not a surprise but wanted to put that warning out there!).

It’s one of six new shades that was made to be “ultra-sheer” and “shimmering” that can be “layered repeatedly.” I liked the concept–effectively a shimmery top coat in liquid format–but I found that the formula was far from being able to layer it “repeatedly” as it would clump up, apply unevenly, and was just exceptionally difficult to apply whether I used the included doe-foot applicator, fingertips, or a separate brush.

Rose Reflection (33)

Giorgio Armani Rose Reflection (33) Eye Tint ($39.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a light-medium pink with warm undertones and flecks of gold pearl and larger glitter. It had sheer coverage in a single layer, but it wasn’t buildable as promised, as additional layers resulted in patchy, clumpy, and uneven coverage and physical texture as the product thickened and felt heavier on my lid with more than one layer (three layers was uncomfortable!). The consistency was watery and worked easily for an all-over wash of product as it dried down quickly but not much more than that. It wore well for nine hours before it started to have noticeable fallout.

It’s one of six new shades that was made to be “ultra-sheer” and “shimmering” that can be “layered repeatedly.” I liked the concept–effectively a shimmery top coat in liquid format–but I found that the formula was far from being able to layer it “repeatedly” as it would clump up, apply unevenly, and was just exceptionally difficult to apply whether I used the included doe-foot applicator, fingertips, or a separate brush.

Copper Reflection (34)

Giorgio Armani Copper Reflection (34) Eye Tint ($39.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a medium copper with warm, orange-brown undertones and fine copper sparkle along with bigger flecks of glitter. It had sheer coverage, as promised, but I couldn’t build up the color well as the consistency had a tendency to thicken, go on unevenly, and clump up, which made my lid look very wrinkled and felt clingy on my actual lid. The watery texture made it work well as an all-over, sheer wash of shimmer when applied with a fingertip or dabbed on top of another eyeshadow but was hard to use in any other way. It lasted for nine hours before it started to have some fallout.

Jade Reflection (35)

Giorgio Armani Jade Reflection (35) Eye Tint ($39.00 for 0.22 oz.) is a soft, sky blue with subtle, cool undertones and golden pearl and larger flecks of glitter. It had sheer coverage, which was as expected, but it did not have the ability to be layered well, so it fell rather short of the actual utility and functionality of the product based on how they were intended to be used. The texture was very watery, which was consistent with the range, and worked best as an all-over wash of shimmer rather than a really high-impact, glittery eyeshadow. On its own, the eyeshadow stayed on well for nine hours before starting to have some fallout.

It’s one of six new shades that was made to be “ultra-sheer” and “shimmering” that can be “layered repeatedly.” I liked the concept–effectively a shimmery top coat in liquid format–but I found that the formula was far from being able to layer it “repeatedly” as it would clump up, apply unevenly, and was just exceptionally difficult to apply whether I used the included doe-foot applicator, fingertips, or a separate brush.
