Re: Best Eyeshadow EVER ... Finally!

I am loving Maybelline gel eyeshadows. They come in about 8 different colors and the color I wear is very similar in shade to the D & G one you are showing. Maybelline's is around $6.00 and it lasts all day on my oily eyelids.When I would wear powder eye shadows they would crease and then basically disappear by mid day.

Re: Best Eyeshadow EVER ... Finally!

I'm loving the Mary Kay version for $14. You know how you pretty much have to buy something when a coworker is having a party? I picked out a mid-tone gray with a sheen to it and I've been in love with it ever since.

I've tried the elf sticks and while the more neutral shades are great, the gray they offer just looks like all glitter on me, no gray pigment at all, darn it. I had high hopes for that one in my crease.

Oh SuzyQ3?? I'd kill for those eyebrows!!!

It looks glittery to me. The color is ok. Dimitri said women over 50 should wear a soft mauve or beige daytime. A darker color is ok at night. I like the color in Suzy's picture, but I am not that skin color.

"Glittery" to me means noticeable pieces of glitter...this eyeshadow is more "shimmery" to me, and I would wear it at 59! Mauve shadow makes me look like my eyes are bruised. I'm wearing a shimmery lavendar today, with plum eyeliner. Don't go by what some "expert" says...wear what YOU think looks good!

Does it have shimmer? If so, can't wear it.

Re: Best Eyeshadow EVER ... Finally!

I think it's pretty too, thank you for the rec. I only wear eyeshadow on special occasions but this looks like it would suit me.

Ooooo, I went online and saw that this is a matte, so have bookmarked it. Thx for the rec.

Re: Best Eyeshadow EVER ... Finally!

This is from the D&G site for ""Desert"" -- looks a lot different than what the OP posted. It's listed in the ""matte"" category.
