Hey all,
As most of you know, I'ma Smokey Eyes addict and to build a good smokey eye effect, I was on a hunt for a nice creamy base. Tried a few, and zeroed in on Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color- BK 912, CAVIAR and here's my review on the same. (this btw, is also my Valentine's Day gift from hubby :) )
Shimmering Cream Eye Color
DESCRIPTION:
A lightweight cream eye shadow with a radiant, lustrous finish that maintains a just-applied fresh look for 16 hours without smudging or creasing. Applies easily with your fingertip for a smooth, even finish. Hydrates skin with Super Hydro-Wrap Vitalizing DE.
INR 1600 for 6 g
Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color BK 912 Caviar is a gorgeous Cream eyeshadow with lovely Green and Bronze Shimmer. On the eyes though, the shimmer is not exactly visible but gives a gorgeous shine especially in ambient lighting.
The Eye Color is creamy to apply and can be build up more a more intense effect. I love the way this one gives ample time to blend without setting and unlike many creamy eyeshadows(Read Color Tattoos from Maybelline and MAC's Paintpots) they DO NOT give a dry look to the lids.
On me this stay for about 4 hrs(without primer) after which I noticed minor creasing (I have Oily lids!!). With a primer, it stayed for about 8 hrs and then there was slight creasing and fading. When topped with a powder eyeshadow, all of these are resolved and you get all day wear. It is definitely going to be my most used base since I love doing smokey eyes and I love the way this one .
Also, the product life is only 24 m, It wish it was longer than that.... can't finish it in 2 yrs, ..err..maybe I can try :)
I use it with both fingertips and a brush depending upon my mood, and it performs equally well in both cases.
It's surely expensive but if you are an eye makeup addict like me, you'd love playing with this baby...It's a gem of a product.
I'm now looking forward to buy a gold and Bronze shade in this.
Highly Recommended!!!
Looks sooooo pretty Agni. Love the tiny shimmers in there. :)

ReplyDeleteIt is Bhumika..Must try...
Deletewow. I must have this :) I like the paint pots but the maybelline ones dry out on me so fast!
ReplyDeletePaint Pots have really smooth and creamy textures, but this is even creamier..I didn't like the Maybelline ones too much as well....I felt they made my lids look wrinkly, hai na??

DeleteI bought Caviar recently and like you, I'm a convert from Blackground.
ReplyDeleteCaviar is simply a superior product, as far as I can tell.
I'm glad to see others feel the same way.

DeleteYes, this one seemed better out of all the options that I had shortlisted, and I'm yet to try those , but this is by far the best cream eyeshadow I've ever used :)
