In the mirror of my own experience

I've used some baked eyeshadows before also, but never used any eyeshadow from L.A colors cosmetics. Browsing through their website I saw that they have so many colorful palettes in their collection. I really love baked eyeshadows & I was pleasantly surprised to see the eyeshadows of such a great quality.

Packaging

The packaging is an average one, with a transparent lid and black body. An applicator sponge is also provided which is not of much use.

Texture

They have a rich texture and are very soft and smooth. You can get an intense texture if you apply them wet.

Pigmentation

The colors are highly pigmented even without a primer. These eyeshadows changed my perception about baked eyeshadows as all the four colors are so beautiful & rich!

Application

I usually apply baked eyeshadows dry, but if you want even more intensity you can use them wet. The shades make great eyeliners also & for that I use my UD eyeshadow changing potion.

Effect

The colors are soft, metallic ones for both day & night look. Can be used in combination with other shades. You get a beautiful jewel like effect on your eyes with the light shimmers.

Lasting power

These eyeshadows have a great lasting power of about 5 hrs & after that you need to give a light reapplication. With a primer the lasting power can be increased.
