PRODCUT REVIEW

"Super easy to apply and customize the coverage you want, and they don’t crease on my lid (with or without primer). Love the colors and the ability to wear them sheer or build for a darker look. What I love most is their versatility. I’ve cut down on the eyeshadows I use because I found I only need a few of these to create whatever look I want. Simplicity! I’ve also noticed that the dry spots I used to get haven’t reappeared since I began using these."
