Essence 3D Eyeshadow – Review & swatches

I love the presentation and the 3D look on Essence 3D Eyeshadow duos; I think it’s very eye-catching.

3D Eyeshadow
Innovative and unique, the duo eyeshadow with a 3D look and a 3D effect has arrived! The 3mm-high relief design offers an ultimate 3D look and the ultra-light yet high-coverage formula creates a cool finish with a 3D effect - from satin to metallic to shimmering - upon application. Applied with a wet brush, the 3D duo eyeshadow guarantees even more intense results. Six duo eyeshadows, each with two perfectly aligned shades, create the highlight of the season for eye make-up in three dimensions!

My thoughts
Well for starters, the embossed designs make it look very tempting. I’ve got three duos: 04 Irresistible Caramel Cream, 02 Irresistible Purr-ple & 07 Irresistible Smokey Eye. All three of them have metallic finishes; some have shimmer in them too. The pigmentation is average; the lighter shades require more layering (Don’t even think of skipping an eye shadow primer!).

The texture varies from shade to shade. 04 Irresistible Caramel Cream and 07 Irresistible Smokey Eye have an incredible texture, feel silky to the touch and the colors blend together beautifully however the shimmery purple in 02 Irresistible Purr-ple feels gritty which is disappointing. You may come across some fall out with the darker shades especially with 07 Irresistible Smokey Eye.

The product says that it could be applied wet as well. Quite honestly, I haven’t had the chance to try them wet but I believe that it would certainly make a difference in the intensity. Overall, these are just run-of-the-mill for me.

You might like it if…

• You are looking for eye shadows that are easy on the pocket
• The colors blend together beautifully
• You use them with a wet brush

You might not like it if…

• You feel the pigmentation is average and the lighter colors require more layering
• You experience fall out with the darker shades
• The shadows aren’t long-wearing hence need a primer
