Review 1 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
Anastasia: NEVER QUIT MAKING THIS DUO!
-05.22.13
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, illuminating
Stopped in to my local Sephora to replace my On Set shadow duo, only to be told they were no longer stocked. NOOOOOOOOO! This is my go-to shadow! I apply the lighter color wet to my eyelids as a base and it illuminates my whole face and makes my blue-green eyes pop. I have many of Anastasia's larger color palettes, but this duo is my absolute favorite! It's always my first step, no matter what color I'm going to be using in the crease and along my eyelashes. PERFECTION. Best eye shadow ever.

Review 3 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
Gorgeous eyeshadow!
-10.18.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
My first time trying this brand's eyeshadow. I love their lip gloss and brow products. This eyeshadow has fantastic, intense pigmentation, is long lasting, glides on creamy and blends beautifully. Not overly shimmery for older eyes, just right. If you use a very gentle hand when putting the brush into the powder, you'll be fine. You don't need to use a lot to get results. With all eyeshadow, I use a primer first. I got My Bedford-amazing on green eyes, and At Chateau.

Review 5 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
BEAUTIFUL colors!
-08.18.12
Quick Take: long lasting, go well together, smooth
I was worried that the darker colors would be too strong for my light skin but they work perfectly. I came across them during a make over at sephora and the girl doing my make up used them. I bought them right away because of how they made my green eyes pop. Its definitely my favorite eye shadow pack now and I use it during the day or when I go out at night. I'm 24 so I don't need all the anti-wrinkle stuff but they are excellent colors that go super well together!

Review 6 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
very beautiful on brown eyes
-07.21.12
Quick Take: brightens my eyes
i am not an expert in makeup but everytime i use the pink shimmer on my eyelids and the plum purple on the crease, my eyes get so defined and people notice i have nice makeup even if its just this combination... pigmentation is really really good. worth the money. and stays on all day but you have to use an eye primer. with the hydration and softening , i have no idea what they're talking about.

Perfection!

These eyeshadows have everything I am looking for! The colors 'On Set' are absolutely stunning. Not too shimmery, long lasting, no smudge, nice pigmentation, simple perfection. Very nice natural look. I am really liking this brand and hope they release more products.

Review 10 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
This is the color duo that I've been looking for!
-07.02.12
The colors of "On Set" are perfect. It complements my olive skin and brown eyes. They are neutral tones with a little bit of shimmer. They brighten my eyes and don't smudge on my oily skin.

Review 11 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
Lives up to the promises
-06.26.12
Quick Take: long-wearing firming beautifully illuminating!
I use the Anastasia eyebrow tint and love it. I tried this because of the love I have for the eyebrow tint! This promises to firm and smooth and it has done just that in the short time I've used it. I loved it so much, I went back and bought another in a different shade.

MyBedford
-03.21.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
I got the my bedford color and its amazing. As with all of the anastasia products that I have previously used, it powders easily. I use a really good brush and a gentle hand. I like the color its really deep and makes my green eyes pop.

Review 14 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
What is this??
-03.20.12
Quick Take: crumbly, smears
Imagine taking wet sand and trying to get it to stick to your eyelids- that's what happens with this eye shadow. I have to rinse my sink out every time I use it, and it's all over in my cabinet. And definitely don't see any difference in firmness on my eyelids. Choose a different brand until they can rework the formula. Seriously- I read all the other reviews and thought it was worth it to get the tightening effect-- I was wrong.

Quick Take: highly pigmented, crease resistant, blends easily
I am 51 and have had a hard time finding an eyshadow that has staying power and doesn't make my eyes look old. I have always been a makeup freak. I love makeup but I want it to look natural... So needless to say I have quite a collection of very expensive makeup. This eyeshadow is one of the best things I have every used. It does everything an eyeshadow is suppose to do. I will never spend money on any other eyeshadow brand....LOVE IT!

good hydrating product to the skin
-02.15.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
The Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo is great for those with puffy eyes. The eye shadows are formulated with natural ingredients and are paraben free. It definitely hydrates and smooths the skin to de-puff the eyes and give you a radiant natural look.

Review 19 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
not sure
-02.09.12
Quick Take: highly pigmented, still shows creases
Just started on the eye shadow a week ago and I'm not sure if it's doing what they claim. However, I'll still keep using it and giving it a fair chance. I just wish they would make some w/a light blue. Haven't had any compliments on my eyes yet.

Review 20 for Illumin8 Eye Shadow Duo
May work better if product wasn't crumbling
-02.08.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant, soft, hydrating
Love the shadow colors and the feel and would be willing to wear only these shadows if the first one I bought didn't start crumbling immediately. I tried it anyway and like it so I overlooked the chip. But the scone and third time it is getting more messy and annoying. I don't keep it in a bag - it is in a drawer and does not get banged around so I feel that so much product is wasted that is not going to be worth the price. Maybe I just got a defective one.
