The primer is very cream and applies very easily, however it is not the greatest. I used this primer with the shadows from this compact and with other shadows, I was able to make it through most of the day before my shadows began to crease and wear off. On most days, for me this would be okay, but if I had to be out and about all day I would feel the need to touch up my shadows. The primer is good for enhancing the colors of the shadows though.
The illuminator is also very creamy, but doesn't really do much for me. When I swatched it on my hand, I thought Wow, this looks really good, but the effect did not look the same on my eye.The shadows had pretty good pigmentation, but to me were a bit to chalky. I was really surprised to find that the dark of the crease shades as also the least pigmented. The lighter shades were the most appealing to me, but that may also be because I don't wear dark shades of shadows. I felt like the dark two shades were hard to blend out.
Another thing that I do not like about this compact is that the 'dust' from the shadows tend to end up in the primer and the illuminator.
Have you tried a NYC Individual Eyes Custom Compact? What did you think about it?

Swatches of the shadows with and without primer
I can tell it's a good concept behind this, but to be honest...we all have our favorite primer, favoriter darks and brights....so if you overthink this palettes, they doesn't make sense...nice try though - maybe good to use as a travel kit?!

I was thinking it would be okay to travel with, it would def take up less space :)
ReplyDeleteI thought this pallet was a fail too!
