Physicians FormulaShimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kit with Eyeshadow, Eyeliner & Mascara, Nude

Some things I loved and some I didn't. First I applied a primer to the upper lid only and then a concealer over the lid and under the eye. I usually have very dark areas in the inner corner of my eyes and underneath. Caused by bad sinuses. I like to use the concealer in the inner corner and blend it as much as possible. For a lighter pigmented eyeshadow, I take one of the lighter colors and do the whole upper lid past the crease and just below the eyebrow area. Then I pick a medium color and do the crease and right above the crease (I'll tell you why shortly). Next I take one of the darkest colors in this case the dark brown and pat the very outer corner of my upper lid. This gives the illusion that your eyes are a little farther apart. I take a thin brush and use one of the darker shadows right under my lower lashes to about the center of the eye. Next I tried to wet line the lower eyelid with the brown but couldn't really get much color out of it. I lined both the upper and lower lids with a thin line of the black line. To finish off I used the dark mascara and then once it was dry used the lighter mascara but couldn't really see a difference. I have to say that when I was done I was very happy with the way it looked. I wore the eye makeup for about 11 hours with no issues at all and it looked just like it did when I put it on. So here's the Pros: Stays on as promised, Doesn't irritate the eyes, Nice colors for daytime, easy to pack up in a small makeup bag and take along. Cons: I ditched the sponge that came with the kit. It was hard and scratchy to me. The brown eyeliner is way too light in color. Wasn't crazy about the mascara and not sure what the beige mascara is supposed to do.I'm 67 years old and wear makeup every day. My eyes are hooded which is why I carry the centerline above the crease as it gives the illusion that your eyes are bigger and not as hooded. The same for the dark color at the outside corner - makes the eyes look further apart. After each addition of eyeshadow it's important to blend. I used a small, half circle brush to apply most of the shadow, a domed shaped fluffy brush for blending and a blunt edged brush for the lower lash line. I do like the shadows a lot and I will use them. I like the small little case the shadows are in and it's much lighter and easier to use for travel. I recommend it especially if you like playing around with shading - gives you plenty of choices! Have fun!

I loved these product! I have very sensitive skin and eyes and have used Physician's Formula mascara off and on for a year. This is my first time trying the eye shadows, eye liners, and these mascaras.The eye shadows:Buttery smooth! These eye shadows offered sometimes soft, sometimes intense color depending on the specific shade. I like that. I wanted soft pinks and peaches with a warmer richer brown. And the blending! I am average talented when it comes to applying makeup. I have to get right close to the mirror to see and am not the best with blending. These shades made me feel and look a lot more professional. Are the shimmer? YES! OF-COURSE! They are labeled as such. Are these perfect for spring and summer naturally enhanced beauty looks, ABSOLUTELY! Swatches on my hand didn't last long, but am having great time on eyes, even with my oily lids, no primer or setting spray.The eye liners:Two shimmer shades. One a metallic pewter with hints of copper and the other a dark smokey grey-black with tiny flecks of glitter. Both shades have lasted a long time on the back of my hand and compliment the shadows perfectly.The mascaras:Similar in color to the eye liner, a duel ended mascara with a 2/3 section dark smokey black and a 1/3 pewter add volume and length without clumping. Applying the black mascara alone is quality good lashes. Definitely better than some other more expensive drug store brands. The pewter end applied after the black adds glamour and depth to a very pretty effect.Over all:I love this pallet. I am stunned by this price and with prime, you get the package in 2-3 days with free shipping.MY ONLY CONCERN:When I opened my package from the large brown/yellow envelope, the box was smashed a little and the top was opened. Nothing inside had been touched, but still that wasn't cool. Other than that, totally totally recommend.

Overall I've given this a 4/5 factoring in price and products. If the price-point had have been greater I'd have given this product 3 stars, however we must remember that we get what we pay for in my opinion. Here is a breakdown on the products purely from my personal experience. Note: I wear glasses and contact lenses.Mascara: Easy Application, No Clumps. Not an overly thick consistency, Builds up well. No Irritation. Though it is not smudge-proof - how many mascaras really are - I find this lasts well and does not smear during the day. No irritation.Eyeliners: Creamy, smooth application. I would suggest sealing it with eyeshadow if possible as unfortunately this does not have great staying-power and won't last an entire day at all. Glides on well, but evidently it appears easy-on equates to easy-off with this eyeliner.Eyeshadow: Pigment is only OK. Size of the pallette is reflective of the price of the set. Personally I find the strips of color to be too narrow and I often end up with neighboring colors on my brush - especially if I use a blending brush.All in all, If you are looking for a small, affordable eye-kit that you can take away or slot into your bag that is non-irritant then this kit is for you, however I don't recommend this kit for daily use where the eyeshadow and eyeliners are concerned especially.

I'm very picky about my makeup & I really like this kit. I have super dark brown eyes. I've gotten several compliments since wearing this. The mascara is really nice, too,bc it isn't clumpy. The eyeshadow is creamy, which is nice for my age since I just turned 40 bc the little ones are starting to creep in so eye shadow wants to cake on and crease.
