wanted to love
beautybody (127 reviews)

I got this in a special palette and wanted to love all of the beautiful colors, but something was missing. It seemed like I got a whole lot of shimmer and not much pigment. I have had this a while not even sure why I have kept it other than the fact that I don't like wasting money. So every once in a while I pull it out and try it out again to see if it will miraculously be better than before, but alas no change yet. — 2 months, 1 week ago

Great colors!
Thorne (335 reviews)

This is a high quality silky fine powder that applies and blends beautifully. It is well pigmented. It does not irritate. It has a subtle shimmer that brightens. This eye shadow is a bit expensive, but Bobbi Brown really has a masterful eye for color. I have rose gold and it is a fabulous, flattering color natural wine pink color. Also, at this price, an applicator should at least be included. — 8 months ago

I love these eyeshadows, mostly because they give you a nice shimmer without it looking like you put a bottle of glitter on your eyelids. Lasts all day too! — 3 years, 8 months ago

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
lesa5363 (347 reviews)

I recently became a fan of Bobbi Brown cosmetics. I had tried a few different products from her collection at a store display and was really impressed with the finished look, so I picked up two eye shadow singles from the Shimmer Wash line, Nude and Buff. I prefer a neutral look for everyday and these eye shadows didn't disappoint me. The texture is so silky, and the shimmer is subtle and very attractive. They are very blendable and buildable and the shimmer isn't like glitter, nor does it emphasize any small lines you may have. In fact, in my experience, it seems to diffuse light in a manner that conceals lines. The little palette is very nice and sleek and will fit in a makeup bag in a ahnd bag for touch ups. I find that I rarely need to touch up, these shadows wear very well, with or without primer in my experience. They don't crease, they don't fade off, and I am extremely oily, and if it lasts for hours after application on my oily skin, it would last beautifully for someone who doesn't have oily skin. I receive many compliments when wearing the combination of the two colors I have. The pigment saturation is wonderful, you don't have to use a lot of product to get great color payoff. The shadow clings nicely to the bristles of an applicator brush, and when I apply it, I find I have no color fallout, it really applies nicely, and stays put once it is on. I plan on adding a few more Bobbi Brown eye shadows to my collection in some of the other formulations and finishes because I am so pleased with the shadows I have. They are a great addition to anyone's makeup wardrobe, and they come in a nice array of colors and finishes that would suit just about anyone's taste or skin tone. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Clubbin' here I come!
leelu (354 reviews)

LOVE this for going out! It is very shimmery - which is what I was looking for when I purchased it - and the color selection can't be beat. You get great color payoff and long lasting color at that. I am very impressed with this and always get compliments on my eyes when I wear these. HG shimmer shadow!! — 3 years ago

THIS MAY BE THE TOP EYESHADOW (BEIGE) IN ALLURE’S BEST OF BEAUTY 2011, BUT IT'S NOT VERY HEALTHY!

This product gets a EWG hazard rating of 6 out of 10! Did you know that there is strong evidence that FD&C YELLOW 5 ALUMINUM LAKE and FD&C BLUE 1 ALUMINUM LAKE can cause Developmental/reproductive toxicity, Neurotoxicity, and Organ system toxicity? — 6 months ago

MissMuffet (8 reviews)

Colors are true, but staying-power is lacking compared to long-wearing formulas. I suppose this is to be expected with any powder shadow, but I'd expect for the price that it would last longer than just a couple of hours. — 2 years, 5 months ago

STUNNINGLY SUBTLE
gailcooke (23 reviews)

There's a mere hint of Fall in the air, and I'm ready for it.- the beginning of a new season, a prelude to holiday parties, all against a backdrop of glorious autumn colors. And, of course, among those glorious colors are the shades in Bobbi Brown's latest collection. The color tones are stunning, subtle yet eye catching, and uber flattering. A must-have for me is the Autumn Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Golden Leaf II. It's a tempered sienna, soft and coppery, pearlized so there is a touch of golden glow. Quite unlike any other shade! Love to apply it with Bobbi's Eye Shadow Brush that provides easy access to corners of the eyes, and is perfect for contouring. — 2 years, 8 months ago
