My Experience with L.A. Colors Duo Tone Eye Shadow Stardust:

Packaging: Let’s begin with the packaging of the product. The eye shadow pot comes packed in a round, black-coloured plastic palette with a see-through lid. The clear lid helps to easily spot the shade from makeup stash if you own more than one of these eyeshadow duos. The brand name is embossed on the lid. The lid fits very securely with an audible click. There is a mirror and an applicator with this palette. The name of the brand is mentioned on the back of the pot and also on the front of the cover in white fonts. On the back side of the container, the shade name of the eye shadow is mentioned. The size of the container is small, so it looks very cute and girly. It can be carried around conveniently everywhere. Overall, the packaging is pretty normal and nothing fascinating to the senses.

Shade: The shade “Stardust” is a pretty combination of dark purple and beige shades. The shade beige is to be used as the base colour whereas the shade in dark purple is meant for contouring. The colour combination is good to create a nice eye makeup look. So far, so good. Now let’s talk about the shades in detail.

The first shade in the palette is a matte beige colour. It has no hint of shimmers or glitters in it. The colour feels chalky and has fallout issues. Pigmentation is decent for this shade. The second shade is a dark purple colour. This colour might look intense in the pan, but don’t be misguided by that. It actually is every low on pigmentation and needs a lot of effort to show up well on the lids. Texture is smooth but this also has fallout issues. This shade has a matte finish to it. Overall, I feel that the colour combination is good for a subdued makeup look, but I just wished that they had a better formulation.

Pigmentation: The pigmentation of this particular eye shadow is low. In this palette, both the shades have different pigmentation. The shade in purple goes opaque in 2-3 swipes whereas the shade in ‘white’ is perfectly swatched in a single swipe only. The colour occupies the lids properly, but there is nothing extraordinary about the pigmentation. You actually need to put in a bit of effort to show the colours well on the eyes.

Texture and Finish: On using this for the first time, I found the texture to be very smooth and non-gritty. But, it is not creamy for sure. It feels quite powdery and I experienced some fallout with these shadows. But, these can be easily cleared if you have put some setting powder beneath your eyes prior to application. It doesn’t blend that well with other shadows. The application did not feel uncomfortable on the eyes and gives a lightweight feel post application.

These eye shadows can be applied both with a brush and even with your fingers. But a brush helps in better blending. Also, I did not find that blending these eye shadow is an effortless job. The colours feel somewhat patchy, so I prefer to apply them with an eye primer underneath for smoother finish. But I haven’t seen any creasing issues with these.

Staying power: These shades stay in place for a decent amount of time without any creasing. They last for about 5-6 hours which I think are good at this price value. If you have oily lids, you will definitely need a primer prior to application; otherwise the intensity will gradually fade away. These shades are easy to remove as well. They come off easily with any makeup remover.

Overall: The idea of creating two eye shadow pans in a pot was amazing, one colour goes perfectly as the base shade and the other you can use as a transition or crease shade. Performance wise, they don’t do something mind-blowing. They just perform a decent job. Pigmentation could have been much better and so is the texture. But they don’t dig a hole in my pockets, so it was a good try. I would try other shades from this range as well.Overall, it as a good trial.
