Estee Lauder Double Wear Eye Shadow in Antique Gold

Hi Hi,

I love cream eye shadows, I just find them easy to blend and easy application! Perfect for any fast looks!
I picked up Estee Lauder's Double wear cream eye shadow in Antique Gold.
The color is very neutral, good for a day to day look.

Its a more bronzey gold, with a bit of shimmer in it. Depending on my day, if its just an office work or class day it will last about 5/6 hours fading and creasing minimal but existing. With a primer it does last about 9 hours before any creasing or fading!

If i'm working in a restaurant, wearing it without a primer, the eyeshadow tends to start creasing and/or fading before the five hours which is still pretty good with all the sweating and heat from the kitchens.

Overall it lasts pretty good for a cream eye shadow, color pay off is excellent. Not too much shimmer. Classy packaging.
Can be a good base for other eyeshadows as well! I actually accidentally left the lid open one time when I aw was in a hurry and didn't notice it til the next morning. So 24 hours without the lid on during a winter day in Canada (Heater on the house going on constantly) it surprisingly didn't dry out. You can see in the photos the edges are a little dry but the product still was and is creamy! Impressed.

I bought it for around $20 CAD (I can't find it on the site anymore... guessing it got discontinued? Havent been to a counter in a while so not entirely sure! For the amount of product, I feel like its a decent deal and would purchase it again.

I haven't had a paint pot from MAC before but I'm guessing since Estee Lauder does own MAC. the formulas have to be some what similar...





Thanks for reading!

Estee Lauder - Double Wear Gel Eyeliner

Hihi.

This is the review do the Estee Lauder - double wear eyeliner. 

Its very creamy, doesn't dry. I love the packaging, very classy. Sadly, this bad boy smudges on me no matter what I do. Put on a good eye shadow primer, smudge. Set it with powder, ends up smudging at the end of the day. The only thing that keeps it from moving is with liquid liner on top... But that defeats the purpose. Might as well wear liquid by itself.

And I also feel like I need a lot more product vs other cream eye liners I have tried in order to keep it black. I find myself dipping back into the product more then twice per eye, its not a dry product but the pigmentation is a bit weak.
I I purchased this for around $25 CAD for 1 oz.
Because it smudges, it is why I would not repurchase this product.

I've been wearing the eyeliner for a couple hours here..

Til next time :)
