MAC eyeshadows are the best

good read MAC shadows are very good .

I love MAC, its awesome. The L'oreal HIP eyeshadows actually aren't that bad. they are a good drugstore brand.

by msbrown822 Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 04:59PM Report as inappropriate

Excellent picks here. However, you missed the creme de la creme--"Five-Color Eyeshadow Palette" by Christian Dior. Whether you choose a designer, iridescent, or "lifting" combination, the colors are gorgeous and the shadows blend like butter. It is nearly impossible to make a mistake with this brand; I think Dior sets the bar for eyeshadow!

Urban Decay and Mac are good for sure. I tried the Loreal "HIP", and it was NOT good.

by MissPurple Friday, January 25, 2013 at 01:13PM Report as inappropriate

Urban Decay and MAC are my favorites! I really want to try some NARS shadows too!

I've never purchased an eyeshadow in America and I'm terrified to start, but I'm going to need to soon - thanks for the guide!

I tried a brand called Meet Matt(e) that goes on really smooth. I received it in my Ipsy bag.

I love Urban Decay and MAC...their shadows are always winners, definitely worth the money.

Good choice of brands. Wish the premier brands would stop making 3/4 of their shadows in shimmer. All of us cannot use a glittery shadow

by GlowGirl Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 08:37AM Report as inappropriate

loreal! i use by mak up artists.

I splurged on a Bobbi Brown shadow when I was 19 and I wish now that I had just stayed with her line. The shimmers and the mattes are always perfect with little-to-no color flaking and a beautiful shade range.

by liquidlinernote Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 07:28AM Report as inappropriate

MAC is great! Not only for the selection of colors, but they also go on pretty smoothly, have many different finishes and stay fairly well (though I still usually use a primer).

by mlenaei Monday, November 26, 2012 at 01:38PM Report as inappropriate

Use a good primer, and the staying power and boldness of color increases!

by robyne00 Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 03:23PM Report as inappropriate

Urban Decay and MAC are my favorites.

by Chris213 Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 11:55AM Report as inappropriate

I have most of these, nothing spectacular. 9-5 is just about right.

by nicky22 Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 08:49AM Report as inappropriate

Good brands, but the key to long wearing eye shadow is in the application, and using the right base. I always use origins underwear for lids. They have it in different colors as well as a plain one to use purely under shadow. I've worn the ones with color swimming, running and at the gym, they stay. Not a powder but a cream stick.

by paisley1226 Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 07:46AM Report as inappropriate

I have Clinique eye shadows ,and they're not that good .

by yadijane Monday, September 24, 2012 at 05:07PM Report as inappropriate

Not a fan of any of these brands. Loving the new Bare Minerals Ready shadows.

by MissPoison Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 05:57PM Report as inappropriate

I think that many brands of eyeshadow will last all day...even the cheaper ones as long as you apply eye primer. I love BH Cosmetics eyeshadows and of course Urban Decay.

by ladyjaye Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 05:42PM Report as inappropriate

L'Oreal HiP Duos are an awesome buy for the low price. Love love love Urban Decay shadows. Some of my favorites and a great range of wild colors.

by Lacy2785 Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 11:08PM Report as inappropriate

There are a lot of over-hyped brands here. I personally enjoy shadows more from brands not mentioned here.

by Taylerbootz Friday, August 24, 2012 at 09:24PM Report as inappropriate

Well, its embarrasing to admit that I have not tried one of these eye shadows. I did not know that Loreal sold the pigment in the HIP line. I live in a rural area where the option of going to the department store does not exist. Although I can buy on line, I prefer to see the color before I buy. So I am excited to go to the drugstore to get some HIP eye shadow colors!

by flirtygirl214 Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 07:04PM Report as inappropriate

I want to buy the mac eyeshadow since all the beauty gurus on youtube are talking about it but its expensive!

by featherawesome Thursday, July 12, 2012 at 02:25AM Report as inappropriate

This story had hardly any eyeshadows that were rated over an 8 none of these are eyeshadows I would want to buy

by kfloyd01 Sunday, July 8, 2012 at 11:26AM Report as inappropriate

I actually own the L'Oreal HiP shadow duo in the blue color and i found that i actually hat to use a lot to get the color to stand out and I have very light skin so thats saying something. The nars one looks really nice i like the colors but im reluctant to buy their products because of the price tag i mean im good with spending $5 on maybeline haha But this was a very interesting article

by nikki_glorioso Wednesday, April 25, 2012 at 05:04PM Report as inappropriate

This report was very interesting. It helps by giving both the pros and cons of both products. I would love to try the Lorac duo eyeshadow and the Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow. Thanks for the info!

by jpuello10 Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 07:42PM Report as inappropriate

I don't have any of these but I'd like to try the loreal paris hip concentrated shadow duo!

by MissXu Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 08:00PM Report as inappropriate

I love loreals hip eyeshadows. Very high quality.

by beautybody Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 06:52PM Report as inappropriate

UD Deluxe Shadows are my absolute fav. Lorac eyeshadows are also fabulous. Never been a MAC or NARS shadow fan. They are both similar to me...kinda chalky.

by SunBunnyxxxooo Friday, March 23, 2012 at 06:19PM Report as inappropriate

Some interesting products...Thank you...

by powerwoman033 Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 09:51AM Report as inappropriate

I disagree with some of the choices on this list!

by volta Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 01:02AM Report as inappropriate

would love to try to urban decay if its available in my country

by 4getu123 Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 10:54PM Report as inappropriate

I didn't see either of them on this list but Studio Gear and Too Faced are the best in my opinion!

by howlATthemoon Friday, January 13, 2012 at 02:07PM Report as inappropriate

Been meaning to try the L'Oreal Paris HiP Shadow duo, but the member ratings aren't great.

by MissXu Sunday, January 1, 2012 at 09:06PM Report as inappropriate

Urban Decay is the best hands down.

by MysticMeercat Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 08:44PM Report as inappropriate

yup Urban Decay is the best for me! Its very pigmented but not exagerated so easy to blen and lasts all day!

by Mamansexy Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 10:12AM Report as inappropriate

Great list, but I have to disagree about the VS shadow. It creases, not much pigment, and has a lot of fallout.

by DTalksAll Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 04:15PM Report as inappropriate

I love Mac eyeshadows

by Flicky_95 Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at 05:10AM Report as inappropriate

Is anyone able to tell me the colours used on the eyes on the very first picture on this article...the shimmery peach tones with the eye shut. I've been looking for so long and can't find out how what colours are used

I love urban decay there my favorite brand:)

I usually stick to mark products.

by MissPurple Monday, July 18, 2011 at 12:13PM Report as inappropriate

I love mac because I can be sure of the quality and the color selection is great. I also love urban decay because it has beautiful palettes (like the Naked palette which I cannot stop raving about), but I think that although beautiful, NARS makeup is much too costly. I guess you get what you pay for...

by katiespeaking Friday, June 3, 2011 at 06:01PM Report as inappropriate

I Love UD's eyeshadows!

by Mia330 Thursday, May 19, 2011 at 11:50AM Report as inappropriate

MAC and Urban Decay are probably my two favorite eyeshadow brands. Clinique's are underrated, and NARS are overrated.

by LipglossandSpandex Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 10:21PM Report as inappropriate

I love that mac has so many colors, but do they make any pallets? I love urban decay's pallets, lots of colors, great prices, gives you a chance to try some new colors and find new favorites. I was disappointed that there were no talc-free or mineral options though.

by luxylexi Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 06:29PM Report as inappropriate

These are GREAT shadows, but sometimes you just need a good eye primer! NOTHING lasts on my eyes without primer--Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Urban Decay Primer Potion are my favorites.

by LipglossandSpandex Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at 09:45PM Report as inappropriate

these look great!

Great article but I agree with Kenya that Sephora make great eye shadow they should be on this list! Sephora has fab pigment and color selection and uses no parabens!

yea l'oreal hip! and MAC of course

by naughtnone Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 09:37AM Report as inappropriate

Some great picks for long lasting shadow! Some of my top two faves are Hard Candy & Mattify Cosmetics shadows. My skin is crazy oily and so creasing is always a problem. These two both last all day with no creasing or smudging and the Mattify brand works as a liner too.

by kristigirl77 Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 12:28PM Report as inappropriate
