Kevyn Aucoin Beauty 'The Essential' Eye Shadow Single in Goddess is described as a "deep copper."
According to Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, this "gorgeous shadow is designed to complement any look, whether your
goal is an angelic glow or a devilish, smoky eye. Packaged in a slim,
sleek compact with a mirror, this super-shimmery formula may be applied
with rich intensity or playful sheerness, making it easy to take your
look from day into night. With a super soft texture and a lasting,
crease-free finish, the Essential Eye Shadow Singles are a must-have for
any makeup bag."
One of the first things one notices is how rich and creamy this finely milled eye shadow is. It is ultra pigmented, silky smooth, and has absolutely no fall-out whatsoever. Goddess is a very rich and vibrant copper that is quite opaque, but can be sheered out as well. It has a soft metallic shimmer, but it is not a glitter-bomb gone wrong- instead it is a gorgeous, deeply saturated, and infinitely wearable shade. With or without a primer I experienced no creasing, though I do not have oily eyelids- therefore your wear time may vary.

This eye shadow is easy to wear, easy to apply, easy to blend, and stunningly gorgeous.

That's beautiful. I haven't seen Kevyn Aucoin things up close in so long that reading about it on your blog is a delight.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is so silky smooth. The one that I am the most interested in, and don't have, is Patina. The last time I swatched it at Barneys I swooned in delight, but I had already spent quite enough money for the day- so I didn't buy it! I'm glad that you liked revisiting Kevyn Aucoin with me!
DeleteI have this shade in a KA palette--thanks for reminding me I need to pull it out again
ReplyDeleteOh, Cindy-- the KA palettes are so gorgeous-- I'm so glad that you have Goddess in one of them!! Enjoy wearing it!! Have a lovely weekend! xx
DeleteThis is a beautiful color--I definitely don't need another copper shade in my collection, but I SO want this one. Also good to know that the formula is spot-on --I've had my KA The Essentials Eyeshadow Set in #1 for...what like a month now and I STILL haven't gotten around to testing it! Arrghhh I'm so behind!!! :/
ReplyDeleteHi Becca! Well, when you hit the pan on one of your copper eye shadows-- keep Goddess in mind! It's such a richly pigmented shadow, and the color is stunning. Ooooooooh, I hope that your review your KA The Essentials Set soon!!! :-)
