Velvet Eyeshadow

By Mariella 1 year ago.

I loved this shade when this duo first launched but didn't buy the duo because I thought I would really dislike the dark green shade (I don't but that's another story). Then I found this deeply marked down at Winners so I grabbed it. The left side is such a flattering and easy shadow for me to wear all on its own on my mobile lid for a quick and wide awake look or with other shadows when I have more time. I'd love to be able to purchase this duo or get this as a single but, alas, that's not going to happen. I did purchase Sephora's Fall Leaves, which is a close dupe for this, and I have All That Glitters (another dupe from Christine's extensive list) because that's how much I love this shadow.

I've had the Old Church Street duo for a few months now (picked it up in August or Sept. 2020, steeply marked down) and while I really wanted it for the lighter left hand side of the duo - a lovely coppery beige - I have really been enjoying this darker side a lot in the past weeks and months. It just looks good on me - applied on the outer third of my mobile lid and buffed - to soften it and to bring it up into the crease. As Christine pointed out in her review of this shade, it really does blend out beautifully and easily. Basically, it gives a very nice smokey eye that doesn't look ridiculous on someone my age.
