The quality of Hourglass eyeshadows is pretty much flawless; they feel silky smooth, have great pigmentation, blend and last well with no creasing. I only wish they would bring out some more shades.
The duo is packaged in a mirrored compact with a 360° swivel top.
Apart from my liner I used the little brush that comes with the shadows to apply for the look below and I think it does quite a good job, its a nice change to have the included brush actually usable and non scratchy.
Though I was initially worried this would be too warm for me, I find it very flattering.
The Gypsy duo gives you a basic colour combination done to perfection.
I bought this from zuneta.com
Very pretty on you! I can't get enough of basic neutrals. I have had my eye on HG e/s for so long.
ReplyDeleteHi Rola,
DeleteThank you :) They really do make lovely eyeshadows, perhaps you could put one on your Christmas list :)
It looks great on you, I love it! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Drama Makeup :)
DeleteVery beautiful Replica. I saw them at Sephora but didn't think much of them because the colour selection was a little bland. But the pigmentation looks fantastic. This is one of those hidden gems that don't look very interesting but does a great job of enhancing the eyes.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline,
DeleteI think you are right about them being hidden gems, I do hope they come out with some more shades as the formula is really lovely x
This looks like such a great everyday combination, but I've held off getting it, since I wonder if it isn't too similar to my Chanel Sable Emouvante to warrant owning both. Still, it's tempting.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
DeleteI found the lighter shade in Sable Emouvante pulls much warmer than the one in this and also the Hourglass darker shade is more coppery, the pigment of Hourglass I find better than the Chanel, so I think you should remain tempted ;)

ReplyDeleteAll the Hourglass duos look lovely to me. Yet to make a purchase though.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was as skilful as you at applying eye colour. My attempts at applying different colours always end up blended into one murky mess.
Hi stiperstones,
DeleteThank you for such a lovely comment, I really think my application needs improvement though, I think a lot of brands make shadows too soft and that can give a murky mess however much you try to work with it so I am sure its not you x
The swatch looks very buttery and well pigmented. I like how you do your EOTD, very neat and natural.
ReplyDeleteHi memoiselle,
DeleteThank you, I'm glad you thought it neat :) The pigment is so good on their shadows, I think the brand is really underated.
This is stunning on you! I love how butter smooth and pigmented Hourglass eyeshadows are! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear :) They are really nice aren't they, I really hope we see some more shades from them in the future x
DeleteLove the Hourglass duos. This is one of my favorites - it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Everytime I wear one of their duos I think to myself I really should get some more of these x
