I have brown skin and even though most cosmetic companies have started making products for women of color who may still be difficult to find flattering eye shadows. Some eye shadows have pigment may end up looking too white and ash against dark skin tones. Others simply do not have enough pigment and is not showing anything at all. I have experienced two problems with the pharmacy and several department store brands of eye shadows. Having been disappointed many times I was drawn to try the eyeshadow Milani buy the brand because I was looking at many pharmacies like Walgreen’s and CVS Pharmacies. I noticed that ads in the stores of the models of all races and ethnicities, so I thought we were going to work for me. Milani eye shadow compacts were cheap and cost less than $ 4.00 each. I realized coming in a variety of attractive colors ranging from bright reds, blues, greens, purples, etc. when most other drugstore brands do not venture too far and opted for the soft colors and boring as beige, brown and dark gray. I bought a small compact of eye shadow in the color Milani Flare. It is a rust orange color with small flecks of gold that keeps you from looking flat and boring. When I used it I liked the fact that I did not have to apply layers and layers of it so that the color you see on my skin. It mixes easily and a layer is sufficient for two coats look really thin and allowed the color to pop. Once the color is mixed non-staining and color fading lasted about 8 or 9 hours. I have also used the Milani eyeshadow with a brush wet for more intensity and found that the use of a coating really makes the colors more subdued. When I applied the wet coat reminded me of using water color painting, because, basically, it looks pretty smooth. After you apply another wet coat color became more intense, but I think the Milani shadows are actually more vibrant when applied with a dry brush. Since my first purchase eye shadow Milani I bought three covenants of their eye shadows. I bought Java Bean, Blue Ice, and Classic Beige. Java Bean is a dark gray, brown with golden flecks that actually increases brown eyes and provides a sophisticated look. Ice Blue is the color of lapis lazuli (no I’m not afraid to use blue eye shadow) and is perfect for making pop eyes and a playful look. Classic Beige is my least favorite. I bought it because I wanted to use it as a bookmark. I wanted a pale golden color, and is light yellow in the container. But I would not have bought it because I realized that there appeared to be white pigment in it. My observation is correct, because when applied it to my skin was definitely beige and gold instead of ashes, and only looked horrible against my skin. In addition to the Beige Classic I love all my other purchases Milani eye shadow and will continue to buy new colors in the future. I would recommend to all women who want fun, natural, saturated colors and eye shadow to experiment with lower prices (which are better than many department store brands). 5 of 5 stars.
