Fantastic Matte
-04.02.13
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant, matte, feels good on skin, natural
I have long been looking for a greatly looking matte that feels good on the eye. I use this color every single day as a highlight on my brow bone and upper lid. I like that it feels good on my skin (as all clinique products do) and blends well with my skin tone.
I think it provides a nice, subtle highlight to my eyes so that I look natural but still put together.

Great color
-03.25.13
Quick Take: natural-looking, smooth
I bought this in French Vanilla -- perfect neutral shade, not too white, not too pink. I couldn't give it 5 stars however, because I don't find it to be long-wearing as described. It fades rather quickly, even with primer underneath.

strange uneven application
-08.27.12
Quick Take: matte
I loved the color of this eye shadow when I purchased it, but was disappointed when I applied it to my outer crease and it was dark on top and didn't show up in the crease. I tried applying it with a brush, the applicator included, and my finger, but it never went on evenly. This isn't a blend able or pigmented product.

I have the Stone Violet color and its okay. Its not very long lasting even with primer. The color also isn't very dark once applied, and it wears off very quick.

Good Eyeshadow

Quick Take: highly pigmented
This eyeshadow is really great, but I find it very chalky. It fades pretty fast, but it's really pigmented.

i returned french vanilla because it came out yellow-ish on my fair skin. the color was even though and the product was high quality. should have checked in the store before purchasing, i only didn't because there wasn't a sample out.

The eyeshadow does not stay on a long time. It fades in about 6 hours. I would not recommend this.

Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Stay Matte
-01.29.11
I purchased Denim. Nothing "denim" about it. It's more of a very dark charcoal - almost black. Hated the color! I was looking for a blue a little deeper color than Clinique's Colour Surge Eye Shadow Super Shimmer in Blue Lagoon. Big waste of my money! I'll keep looking.

Stone violet too red in hue
-11.24.10
Quick Take: crease resistant
I bought Stone Violet because I had purchased it in Clinique's cream shadow, but this version is a bit too red in undertone; it looks more pink-violet than blue- or brown- violet. It definitely makes me green eyes look greener, but against my pale skin and red hair, it gives me too much of a ruddy-eyed look. It does stay the day, however, for better or worse.

Stay matte stone violet
-07.27.10
Quick Take: highly pigmented
I really like this. It works well with my shadow base, and the color is just what I was looking for - not too bright but still enough violet to compliment my green eyes.
