I’m a sucker for intense, vibrant colors and glitter. Two weeks ago I happened to be in Walmart, and since I had time to kill, I wandered over to the cosmetics section to pick up some makeup remover wipes. While I was there, I noticed the Hard Candy display, and was immediately pulled in. I managed to restrain myself, however, and only walked away with two Hard Candy Kaleyedescope Baked Eyeshadow Duos. Each duo features two vibrant colors that have been “baked”, rather than “pressed”. The shadows are made up of rich pigments, and can be applied dry for a shimmery, subtle effect, or wet, for a more dramatic look.
Any of you who have read any of my past makeup reviews or have seen my photos on Flickr should know that I am all about the more dramatic look. But I didn’t bother to apply the shadows wet. Instead, I simply applied them over my normal primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance) and was good to go. The colors are indeed bright and vibrant, and it only takes one layer to create eyes that pop. The shadow is long lasting, too. In fact, I really have to work at my eyelids with makeup remover cloths to get it off.
Bottom line? At $5 a pop, the Hard Candy Kaleyedescope Baked Eyeshadow Duos are definitely a great deal. Highly pigmented shadows are great because a little goes a long way, and there’s a generous amount of shadow packed in each duo.
