I bought the By Terry Ombre Blackstar ($42.50) on the recommendation of The Black Panties. When I was in Seattle during the summer, I happened upon a Barneys and decided to pick one of these up. I chose shade 3, Blonde Opal. This is a cream eyeshadow stick with a twist up mechanism. You can apply straight from the tube and blend with fingers or a brush.
The packaging is pure luxury, a shiny gold tube. The cap opens to reveal a gorgeous shimmery cream colored cream shadow (ha).
It definitely has gold undertones. I'm not sure if this would work for people who are extremely cool toned. It is extremely creamy and easy to blend. And now we get to the not so good part. Unfortunately, this did not stand up to my oily lids. I did experience some creasing. However, the Panties says she does not experience any creasing so YMMV. I still love it as a brow and inner corner highlight as well as a base.
Overall, if you have dry lids, I would definitely check this out. Also, if you are a cream lover, as I am, you might want to check it out.
it's beautifull... i love cream shadows, they're so easy to wear and work with
ReplyDeleteLucy: I agree! I love that you can just use your fingers with them
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike as I picked up this shade recently as well ;) I find it wears well on me, so its a shame that it doesn't hold up well for you, does it still crease on you over an eye primer? x
ReplyDeleteReplica: I haven't tried it over a primer but I will have to play with it more because I need that black shade. Did you swatch it? Stunning.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried/seen in person the black shade but think Londonmakeupgirl has it and it looked very good indeed ;)
ReplyDeletereplica: OO I'll have to go see if I can find those!
