Eye shadow that stays put

Filed in archive Makeup , Product reviews on October 21, 2006

I've been loving the Max Factor MaxEye shadows for a while now. Ever since I got it I had an irresistible urge to put it on, no matter where I was going. I got two three color combos, one is Gipsy Moon, and the other is Precious Metals.

The Gipsy Moon combo is just perfect for fall and winter, because my clothes colors tend to get monochromatic, and the shadow gives me that needed hint of color, and the opportunity to get nude lips. Which is great. The other combo, Precious Metals is for those days when I feel like wearing red red lips - and we all know that one can't have both eyes and lips accented.

The MaxEye shadow is really durable, when out on regularly. But if you're interested in getting great and very noticeable results, you can also put it on wet. And there's a bit of trouble, because every shadow, no matter how high quality, tends to crease after a while. There is indeed a remedy for this too. One of my favorite bloggers, The Beauty Addict, recommends Urban Decay Primer Potion:

"I've put the Primer Potion to every test imaginable - sweat, humidity, all-nighters. I've even fallen asleep with my eye makeup on and awakened to lids that were, amazingly, still in perfect shape. It works especially well with those pesky cream eyeshadows that always seem to crease, no matter what you do. Primer Potion will put a stop to that!"

So, don't be afraid to smack on your MaxEye shadow on wet, if you're wearing Urban Decay Primer underneath!
