Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow



When I saw these online I thought to myself I bet this is going to be a chunky glitter mess however I've been looking for some nice metallic shadows maybe these will be it. I guess if they get good reviews I can pick up a few but then I saw the price. $42 Canadian that's $48 with tax. I thought to myself I guess I'll pass.

After a few days I noticed they were getting good reviews so I figured what the hell I'll pick up one. When I went to sephora I swatched kitten, metallic dusty rose and vintage black gold. The first two seemed more chunky and appeared silvery on my light tan skin. Silver doesn't look good on me so I went with vintage black gold which resembles MAC's antique gold. I was unsure if I wanted this colour because I recently ordered makeup geeks pigment in utopia. I have a feeling the color will be the same but I doubt it will be as bold.

Today I tested it on my hand first with a primer from Urban Decay then with the Stila primer. I preferred it with the Stila primer. I did my makeup and I applied the Stila primer to my lid first then dabbed on the shadow. This made it much more intense then my hand swatches. I still had glitter left on my finger so I dabbed it onto my crease over a dark brown shadow.

Overall I found the product versatile, didn't experience fallout yet and it's easy to use so for now I'll rate it a 9/10. I need to see how it wears.
