FINAL THOUGHTS...

I really love shine on my eyes, whether it be sparkle or metallic, so I was really excited to get these. They look so, so, so pretty in the pans so I had really high hopes for how they would swatch and look on the eyes.

While I do think they have nice pigmentation, a good texture and pretty shades, I have to say that I wasn't impressed with the shine part. The claims of high pigmentation and shine just don't seem like an accurate description.

Don't get me wrong, the pigmentation is good, but it's not insane. And the shine is nothing special or out of this world. There is a metallic feel to these, but you really have to catch the light to get them to shine pretty - otherwise they really aren't very special.

I recently purged a bunch of single shadows because I reach for palettes more, but if it's a special shadow I have no problem with them being sold as singles. These Liquid Metal Shadows just aren't that special to me. I know a lot of people love these, but I was just expecting a lot more shine from them and maybe that's why I feel so disappointed in them.

Don't get me wrong, I still think these are good and I've used them several times, but I don't get excited about them like I thought I would.

Additionally, that shine that is in the pan disappears after you swatch/use it. It is an over spray, but the product underneath is still good... just not as pretty as that first swatch/use will be.

Maybe I just have been spoiled by some other really fantastic shadows and had too high of expectations, because I know these are well loved by many people.

Now let me know what you think...
