When it comes to eyeshadow, I love playing around with different formulas. Powder, cream, liquid, mousse, I’ve tried it all. Although I’ve got my favs from each category, my top picks have always been cream. They are easy to apply, last all day, and they enhance any shadow placed overtop. So, when L’Oreal sent over their new Infallible Paints Eyeshadow range, I couldn’t wait to give them a try!
Retailing for $8.99, these double ended cream shadows come in a variety of shades from soft and neutral, to bright and bold. I’ve got the entire collection, but I thought I’d strictly talk about my favs today. The ones that are neutral, and easy to wear. I’ll get into the bolder shade combos in another post.
The Paint Eyeshadows can be worn on their own, for a light wash of color, or layered under powder shadow (my favorite method). They come with doe foot applicators, and last all day without creasing – though I suggest a separate primer for those with oily lids. The pigmentation is easy to build, so long as you pat the product onto the lids. Swiping will only wipe it away, causing patchiness.
COOL IVORY
The one I reach for most, is Cool Ivory. It features a frosty beige side, and a warm beige side. You can use the lighter end all over the lids, or as an inner corner highlight. Both work excellent as bases.
SUNSET FIRE
This unique combo of corals is so pretty all over the lids! They are pigmented enough to be worn alone, and look great paired together for a fun summery look.
BROWN SUGAR
The darkest of the bunch is Brown Sugar. This makes a great base for a sultry smokey eye. If you love MAC Contructivist or Groundwork paint pots, these are a great affordable alternative!
NUDE FISHNET
Another super easy to wear neutral. One one end you have a creamy matte beige, (think MAC Painterly), and on the other you’ve got a satin rosy beige. For a quick look, apply the matte all over as a base, then layer it with the satin. It’s so pretty!
SHADY VIOLET
Last, we have the oh so pretty Shady Violet. This double ended purple caught my eye immediately. It comes with a light lavender, and a royal purple. Place the light purple on the lids, dab the darker one in the crease, blend, and you’re good to go!
SWATCHES
You can purchase the L’Oreal Infallible Paints Eyeshadows at drugstores, Target, ULTA, and anywhere L’Oreal is sold.
