Review 1 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Gorgeous just not my color
-03.25.13
I love BB shimmer wash and have in the champagne. I did buy the gold rose and just was not my color; too old to wear pink eye shadow. Lovely though if it is your color. A very nice color to add on top or under your other shadows; no huge sparkles or fallout just a light glimmer

Review 2 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
eggplant returning
-11.19.12
Quick Take: highly pigmented
the egglant is very different from the champagne and pink gold - very dark and pigmented, more urban decay intense sans glitter just shimmer. i was expecting soft and subtle may work for those that want intense bright and pigment - but seems out of character for the other shimmer wash shadows that i love

Review 3 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Pink Gold
-11.16.12
Quick Take: so soft
Bought the pink/gold color as well. I love this. I add it just above the top of the center of my eyes, not all over as my eyes are getting old and droppy. I use matt shadows, but a hint of this shimmer in rose gold right over the center of eye, and inner corners, makes my eyes pop and takes away that flat lack of dimension you get from the matt shadows. I bought the eggplant as well. It works better for my friend, who has much darker skin, than my ultra fair skin tones. This powder is so finely milled, it is just a joy to use and "makes doing your eyes" fast and easy. My entire routine with 3 shadows plus TM, concealer, blush, liner, curling my lashes, tad of bronzer, lip gloss is 5 minutes - now that is a bonus as I have no time to sit in front of the mirror.

Review 4 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
REVISED: Review
-11.04.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant, lightly pigmented, just enough shimmer to make you look alive
Thought I would give this a few weeks and found I like htis, will keep. I have similar product (Luster) in LM and like this better I think. I swipe this on entire lid first and there looks like no coverage. Add a slight light brown LM cafe Aule and then line in matt Coffee grounds powder or a pencil under my lashes. Swirl and it looks better than the basic matt look. My old eyes need a tiny bit of shimmer otherwise it looks dull and flat. I will see how long this lasts. I am tossing my UD Naked Pallate. That is just too intense. Sticking with LM and BB from now on for a nicer milled blending powder, less GLITTER, more subtle pretty look

Review 5 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Champagne - returning
-10.06.12
Quick Take: no color, emperor has no clothing make up, too light
Bought this with high expectations. Already have so much eyeshadow, was really looking for something different, sheer, light and pretty. The texture is lovey and packaging very good. Problem: It looks as if I have done nothing at all to my eyes. A natural look is fine, but no need to spend $22 for a natural look. Perhaps the darker colors do well with bridal make up. For a sheer wash, I can take many of my over the top shadows, dilute in water on back of my hand, and then sheer them and get more effect than I do with this. This is the "Emperor has no clothing" to me, pay alot of money and wear nothing. I had expected more of BB. Will stick to my other basics that do alot more of nothing for alot less money.

Review 6 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Golden Shimmery Goodness
-10.05.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
This was everything that I wanted LORAC Glamorous to be. It was golden with a pink overtone that was incredibly flattering to both my skincolor and eyecolor. It lasted all night long and didn't crease. A complete winner!

Review 7 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Nice!
-09.28.12
I purchased this in rose gold and like the look since it is a "barely there" shadow. I put if over the entire area from brow to eyelashes. For daytime, I don't need anything more than some mascara. Please note ladies... the older we get, the less eye make-up we should use!

Review 8 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Rose Gold
-08.22.12
Quick Take: smooth, pigmented, creamy, long lasting
I waited ages for this to come back into stock online but finally gave up and trekked to Sephora and sure enough they had ONE left.. I adore this eyeshadow! It is the perfect Rose Gold color...not too pink as to make you look sickly but not too gold as to be compared to all the other "golds" out there. I wear it with UD half baked on the lid, BB Rose Gold in the crease and then I darken up the outer corner with UD Smog! Some black eyeliner and you have a great look.
Application is creamy and smooth, the pigmentation is great and it lasts all day long!

Review 9 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Beautiful, Yet Understated Look
-07.20.12
This shadow enhances the look of your eyelids, which may tend to get a bit darker as we age. Wear it on your lids from lashes to brows with a bit of eyeliner and some mascara. You're good to go!

Great all-around eye shadow
-05.25.12
This shadow is a great base, good for the brow-area highlight, or you can easily wear alone for more of a natural look. I use it every day with many different color combos and it works for all. Will definitely purchase again.

Review 13 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Pretty nice
-05.24.12
Quick Take: versatile
I bought this in Fawn and was pleased by the texture and amount of shimmer. I didn't see much difference between this shade and the one in the Clinique Plum Seduction pallette (see my 5-star review of that) so ultimately, I returned it.

Review 14 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Fawn + Petal = Lovely!
-04.04.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented
I really love the shimmer wash shadows. IMO, they're perfect for someone who wants to balance impact with subtlety--not sure if that make sense. : ) I have green-blue eyes with yellow near the iris, and I love the combination of fawn with petal. These two are perfect for day or night and all seasons--great for the minimalist. I put these shades over the regular matte bone BB eye shadow. I find the shadows blend easily, but I don't know if they crease at all, since I always use a primer first.

Review 16 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Rose Gold
-03.17.12
Quick Take: highly pigmented, crease resistant, blends easily
Just enough shimmer with good pigmentation. This is the most I've ever spent on a single color of eye shadow and it was worth it. The shade is angelic, think I'll only like it more as my summer tan starts to come in.

Review 17 for Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow
Darker than I Expected
-02.18.12
Quick Take: blends easily
Feels nice and goes on silky smooth, but the color is somewhat darker than I expected. It makes a nice smoky evening eye, but is too much color for me during the day.
