Milani Baked Metallic Eyeshadow: I Heart You

Milani I Heart You Baked Metallic Eyeshadow ($7.49 for 0.05 oz.) is a coppery red with a shimmery, metallic finish.  It looks redder in the pan than it is when swatched–there is a coppery orange that is much more pronounced when applied.  It reminded me of MAC Coppering, but obviously in a baked form.

Milani’s Baked Metallic Eyeshadows can be used wet or dry–wet for more intensity, dry for more luminosity (which, given the context, must mean sheerer color). Given the nature of baked eyeshadows, I Heart You does apply smoother and more evenly when applied wet than dry, but still, it is quite pigmented when used dry. The texture is fairly smooth and soft, but when applied, there is a touch of fall out. It’s not unforgivable, but I did notice it.

I do wish they’d ditch the sponge/brush applicator, though, because the bristles are splayed and scratchy, while the sponge is thin and surprisingly scratchy. I did like the switch to a black interior, over the champagne gold from the Runway Eyeshadows. The lid is also quite secure, and I had to pry it open with my nails.

I love coppery reds, but they look bad on me…not even like I’m sick, they just look, uh…cheap? Yeah, that’s the best way I can describe it ha ha. Cheap.

I love Milani products, I picked up a few things from them just recently, I know what you mean about the applicators that come with the eyeshadows I never use them.

Nice color, and I’m impressed with the payoff. I HATE those brushes/sponges though! The sponge tip comes off so easily and it’s such a weird curved shape! They should have just ditched the applicator altogether.

It looks hot but sadly shadows in that color and finish often end up turning pink on me. Dark pink, but pink all the same instead of red.
