brandikayy: Maybelline - Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quad: Natural Smokes

Maybelline.com's description:

"Four coordinating shades with step by step application guide makes shadow easier than ever.
All-day crease-proof wear. Glides on effortlessly with superior smoothness. Velvet-tip applicator blends without tugging or pulling. Ophthalmologist-tested. Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers."

Does it live up to its claims?

"Application guide makes shadow easier than ever"

Yes, I would say that it makes it a lot easier for a beginner to learn wear to put certain shades into creating a wearable look.

"All-day crease-proof wear"

I, personally, have never had a problem with any powder eyeshadow creasing on me. These didn't really seem to fade, though.

"Glides on effortlessly with superior smoothness"

The two shimmery shades in the quad are a little flaky, and sometimes has a chunky texture that seems to ball up a little bit in the pan. It's quite odd, I must say, but I have seen with some other shadows that have that ALMOST glitter texture.

"Blends without tugging or pulling"

I don't typically use a sponge tip applicator for blending, more for packing on color to the lid.

"Safe for sensitive eyes"

I have very sensitive eyes that will sometimes puff up very bad if something gets in them, and these did not irritate my eyes.
