I just tried these new wet-dry shadows at YSL last week and I quite like them! When you brush them on dry they’re like any other metallic shadow. As soon as you add water the texture completely changes into almost a paste. Suddenly you have this super intense, opaque colour. The unique thing about the shadow is the technology behind it. The water content in the formula allows the shadow to go from wet to dry, without changing the consistency.

Over the weekend I’ve been wearing the Kat Von D Motorhead (black colour) eyeshadow. What I liked about the shadow initially was the two textures in one. Half is matte the other half has small silver glitter particles infused into it. Inside the lid is a small mirror which is quite convenient. I found that the shadow adheres to the skin quite easily when applied with a brush. The pay off is good especially the matte texture. As with most eyeshadow, when applied on top of a cream base you get maximum pay off. As I blended the shadow, I did notice the colour started to lose intensity going from dark black to more of a grey colour. The glitter particles fall onto your cheeks which can be annoying if you’ve already done your foundation. On myself, I found the shadow wore for at least 5 hours without fading.

Currently these shadows are half price at Sephora-only $10. For that price they are worth trying.
