Catrice: Made to Stay Long Lasting Eyeshadow Review

Similar pages:



These Catrice eyeshadows retail for €3.49 per piece (5.0g / 0.17oz) and have a name with a big promise. Huge expectations with a name like Made To Stay Long Lasting Eye Shadow.

According To Catrice
Six eye shadows with a high pigmentation for the ultimate metallic shine effect! The soft cream texture is easy to apply and lasts for an extremely long time – without settling in the crease of your eyelid or smudging!

Ingredients
Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Mica, Polyethylene, Polybutene, Phenyl Trimethicone, Cera Microcristallina, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Silica, Caprylyl Glycol, Panthenyl Ethyl Ether, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Propylene Carbonate, Bisabolol, Tin Oxide, Ascorbyl Palmitate, May contain: CI 75470 (carmin), CI 77000 (aluminium powder), CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides), CI 77510 (Ferric Ferrocyanide), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide)

I have here two shades:

050 Metall Of Honor



040 Lord Of The Blings


Metall Of Honor is a metallic khaki brown, like brass.
Lord Of The Blings is a metallic beige or, as some of you might prefer, warm silver.


These two eyeshadows (plus a third one: Jennifer's Goldrush) were initially released under the so-called Limited Edition Modern Muse Collection. Of course, some weeks after that, we all discovered these Modern Muse products slotted amongst the permanent range items. They were not limited edition. I was, to say the least, annoyed with this misrepresentation and I had griped about it in my post on Catrice Khaki Perry.

By the way, the eye look shown in this post was done with the following products:


Catrice Made to Stay Long Lasting Eyeshadow - Lord Of The Blings
Catrice Made to Stay Long Lasting Eyeshadow - Metall Of Honor
(both applied with a flat brush)
GOSH Velvet Touch Eye Liner Metallic Brass
GOSH Velvet Touch Eye Liner Black Ink
Josie Maran GOGO Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara


My Thoughts
Texture
These are cream eyeshadows - thick and fairly smooth. It can be clumpy if you extract too much at one go.

Application
Drying time wasn't too fast, thus allowing enough time to toggle with the eyeshadows before they dry.


Durability
Okay, the big question: Is it longlasting?

I kept my expectations real. Er, have you seen my inward-folding eyelids?! Most cream eyeshadows don't stand a chance. It would be crease-ville within an hour.

The thing is, these Catrice eyeshadows managed to exceed my expectations:

They
• stayed put
• did not smudge
• is water-resistant, but not waterproof
• did not crease in the first four to five hours.

Put simply, this was how the eyeshadows looked after seven hours:


Yes, if you look closely, there is some creasing in the inner corner of the eye in this photo. I'm all right with that, considering that it is, after all, seven hours later. These eyeshadows didn't cost an arm and a leg, so of course, I can live with that!
