Lucent Cream Shadow (029, Alpha)

I love these Moira shadows! I adore bright and shiny eye color but it’s hard to find ones that don’t have highly toxic or irritating ingredients. These had such a good EWG rating that I had to try them. I’ve been exceptionally happy with all of the colors I’ve purchased (hue, texture, shimmer, application, blendability, and staying power) so far except the silver “starlight” (see note below.)Note about “starlight” (silver): The “starlight” color is flaky and difficult to apply. It’s ok for a little added shimmer but doesn’t sit well as a liner or shadow like the others do.

I haven't tried the eyeshadows from Hourglass or ColourPop. But I will say this is a pretty good formulation. It's powdery and blends well. It doesn't smudge. I don't wear it long enough to see if it creases or faded. I wear it about 6 hours max, and it's fine. It's dry and hot here. I have combination skin.It's not sheer. This is a nice bronze. It's great for a natural or no makeup look if you wear glasses. If you don't, it might look a little more pigmented. I wear glasses and it looks subtle on me.This will probably dry up in about a year, as the formula is not particularly mousse-like or slippery.It's a great one and done shadow. You need to blend it with your fingers, or else it looks funny. You could use a brush too. But I don't. I don't set it with powder, although you could. It's not too sparkly for day. I also like that it doesn't have large chunks of glitter. More expensive shadows have finer pieces. It gives you a more refined, polished look IMO.

I got this in the shade Phoebe, which is a sparkly gold. I love that it isn't too yellow. It is glittery, so I use it mainly as a topper over an eyeshadow in a similar shade. Looks amazing and lasts all day, although I wouldn't recommend applying it in the eyelid crease. I keep it close to my lash line, and it looks amazing. This is also great to fix mascara smudges that get on your lids when you apply mascara.

It’s pretty shimmery, not subtle, but being like a tan color it works for every day. I’ve only used it without primer or other color under it when I was in a hurry and it stayed on pretty well. Would probably look even better with a base under it. Moira is such and underrated brand. I have like 15 huge totes filled with high end and drugstore makeup so I feel like I am somewhat of a good judge on makeup, ha.

I love the quality of this eyeshadow. Reminds me of the consistency of colourpop super shock shadows. The color Jupiter is full of tiny iridescent glitter sparkles. It is quit sheer in the base, but Imparts a lovely sparkle to my lids as a finishing touch to a simple makeup look.

I got this because I was going to a red party and I wanted to wear a red shimmer make up it’s shimmer but it’s very light and color and it doesn’t look red at all it looks more like a light pink very disappointed

So I was really excited to try this cream eye shadow because it was affordable and they had a nice range, when I received the eye shadow the texture did not look like a cream but looks can be deceiving sometimes. I touched the shadow and it was not a cream, but I told myself maybe its this formula and it will still perform well. It applied powdery and sheer, if you try to blend it becomes a bit patchy and its hard to pack in the color to get opacity. Also you are left with a ton of fall out, which its one of the main reasons I want to try. It also creases, I tried it with my finger and a brush. I will try their other cream formula to see if its better.

Beautiful color and very vibrant! Matched a dress I bought for a wedding perfectly
