Eyeshadow (Discontinued)

By Mariella 3 months ago.

Winter is Here is one of my 3 or 4 favourite shades from the Game of Thrones palette. It's such a perfect shade of brown for me - rich, not warm, with a texture that makes it a pleasure to use. While I do have a few dupes, I'd really love to see this released as a single.

I found this greatly reduced at Winners. It's a shadow I've wanted for ages and now, after using it for several days in a row, I can say I'm really delighted. The colour itself is really flattering = a versatile silvery-taupe - as is the finish. What has really surprised me is how well this colour lasts - it doesn't seem to fade at all as the day wears on. It's a great "one and done" shadow but also works really well with other colours - browns, grey, purple tones, etc. Just an all around winner for me.

This shadow was a very happy surprise in the Game of Thrones palette. I thought it would be too warm, too orange/apricot toned for me but it's anything "but" - it's so flattering, brightening and it is of such good quality. It works with just about any of my "go to" shadow looks for day/work and is just all around a fantastic colour. I so wish it would get re-released as a single (even with a different name) because for me, it's just such a workhorse colour.

I tend to shy away from red-toned eyeshadows because some reds and pinks look awful - unnatural and like I'm having a severe allergic reaction - but this one is a beauty. The shadow itself has a wonderful texture - so smooth and so blendable - and pigmentation is fantastic. I still feel a bit self-conscious wearing this shade but that's just me trying to get used to something a bit different. It's a lovely shadow especially for the fall months.

The shade Baja from Urban Decay’s Born to Run palette is incredibly pigmented and buttery smooth. It’s a vibrant orange color that is the same color in the pan as it is on the lid. The only thing that’s a possible negative about this shadow is that it is very pigmented. Blending it out can be a challenge if you put too much shadow on the lid. Other than that, it’s great. Beautiful color, beautiful formula.

I use this shade to highlight the inner corner of my eyes, however, I find it to flat to be a good highlight shade. So usually I apply it over a sticky base (light, creamy eye pencil) so it shows up brighter. I also tried it as a base shade after eye primer, but it really emphasizes the skin texture and gives me a reptile, flaky look.

This rich brown is quickly becoming a staple. I wear it by itself or blend it with Weirwood Leaves.

I love this deep burgundy on my green eyes! Silky smooth texture too.

I expected this duochrome to perform like Urban Decay's permanent duochrome Fireball. It didn't. It was chalky and clumpy. I ended up mixing it with a highlighter to smooth out the texture.

I use dark shadows like this as eyeliner and this is possibly the best performing one I own. It stays put like magic.

Blackest black there is! This is so pigmented so go in with a light hand! But this is very expensive for one meesly eyeshadow. If you already have a good black I wouldn't say you need this.

It's such a flakey shadow. Really a flop.

Let's just say it's sheer enough to be useful as a setting powder, and with an aggressive hand can brighter your other products. But on its own it's just straight chalk. Applied alone It blows away while you're looking at it. Applied with primer it dissolves and leaves a sunscreeny cast. It's been repurposed and is a useful addition to the leanne palette but this is not the white/eggshell color you're looking for.

An excellent all around shading color that I got in a versatile matte palette (which is not very travel friendly due to extreme fall out/in/about). I'm not picky about eyeshadows and wear time, as long as it blends well and plays well with my primer. Which this does. Check. This is a perfect 1-2 shades darker than my skin tone for a deeper eyeshadow base, nose shading, contouring. It plays well with other colors, and I would get it again even as a single for its versatility.

Phenomenal orange, highly pigmented, easy to blend and no fall-out.

A wonderful lid shade - prone to some fall-out. I make sure to do my eye makeup before doing any foundation, etc.

Dirtysweet is such a wonderful lid colour for me. I have about 5 or 6 of the listed dupes and while they're all nice shadows, none of them is quite as nice on me as Dirtysweet. It's a pretty light bronzed gold shade with a glow-y finish. I know that the Naked Smoky palette wasn't very well received but it's a palette I really love using and this colour - which I love on the mobile lid with some dark liner for an easy but flattering look - makes me glad I purchased the palette.

I adore this shadow. The shift is subtle, but in that kind of fairy-like, ethereal way. I like applying it wet on top of a matte lavender shade for maximum duochrome goodness.

On the whole I really enjoy Urban Decay's eyeshadow formula. I find them easy to work with, long-lasting, and the range of colours is great. I would appreciate being able to buy their shadows in a single refill pan, but I don't mind having the single compacts as the packaging is nice enough. I find Free Love to be a little more sheer than some of their other shimmer shades, but I tend to use it over the top of other shadows to add a bit of something extra.

I really love warm, rich eyeshadow colours and Spike is no exception. I find it easy to blend, and easy to build a look around - very versatile.

I use ABC Gum as an all-over base shade every single day, have done for a few months with no sign of hitting pan. Would recommend to anyone, especially those with a fair skintone like myself.

My favorite \"black\" ... to me it is the darkest black-brown. I use it with a wet brush as an eyeliner. As it wears down and blends in during the day, it reads brown smudge, not \"gray\" smudge. This is very desirable to me. Reminds me of old favorite Bare Minerals \"Retro\" liner-shadow... brown-black is much more flattering on my warm/neutral skin than cool grey-black. Wish it came in a single. I wear it with black mascara. I use it as brow powder for a bolder brow look.

The best eyeshadow color ever, but it doesn't come as a single.

This is a very odd formulation. Purchased Jan 2018 and the ingredients have changed. Incredible performance in every way... Except it literally cannot build, anywhere. It's so slippery (dry) that you can only get one level of pigmentation. This can be great for certain looks, but a deal breaker for building depth. Otherwise incredible, and yes, it's closest dupe is probably ABH love letter, with this being more vibrant and slightly less cool.

I find this color to be a bit chalky and difficult to use as an eyeshadow on its own. However, it works pretty well as a base color over primer, and makes a smooth canvas for other colors to go on top of it. So I do use it every day in this capacity.
