Givenchy L'Ombre Noire Multi-Purpose Shadow For Eyes

What it is:A multipurpose eye shadow that can be used wet or dry.What it does: This versatile shadow provides a high coverage, deep pay-off, color release and a matte effect. Contained inside a sleek mirrored compact with a slide-out drawer that holds three mini brushes, this item can be used as an eye shade, eyeliner, or an eyebrow enhancer.What else you need to know: The formula contains: spherical powders for a creamy and fluid application, micronized powders for a homogeneous and smooth film, lamellar powders for a smoothing effect, light esters for a thin and non-sticky film, and vegetal oils for a soft and creamy texture. Each of the three included brushes serves a unique purpose: the fan brush lightly dusts color under the eye and on the eyelid for a soft effect; the rounded brush creates precise, smoky eye application; the eyeliner brush can be used to apply a neat line along the lashes, from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye, to achieve an ultra graphic finish.Sephora is the exclusive beauty retailer for this product.

Great product
-03.31.13
Quick Take: natural looking
Easy to apply. Looks natural when applied. Comes off easily. Does not irritate skin. A bit expensive and I wish the brushes came in larger sizes.

Bad investment
-09.02.12
Quick Take: low pigmented, difficult to apply
I bought this product because I love Givenchy, but it has been a complete disaster for me. It does nothing. When dry, it is impossible to apply, leaves no color at all or just a very weak trace. When wet, it takes a lot of willpower to get a decent line. I've been using it only to avoid feeling like a complete fool for wasting that much money on a non-performing product.

Terrible
-08.16.12
Quick Take: not bendable, not pigmented, not smudgeable
This is terrible. It has the texture of rubber. Not really a cream or a powder. Doesn't have any pigment, doesn't apply period. I tried it dry as a shadow & it seriously looked like my mascara melted onto my eyelid & smeared around. Why would Givenchy release this junk?

Not a lot of pigment
-01.23.12
Quick Take: weak color, not waterproof
I was really surprised on how little color pay off this product has. Virtually NONE when dry and when wet, you really have to go over the line several times to get any color, and even then it's not a deep black but a smokey charcoal. Pretty but not long lasting at all. I found this runs on me pretty bad. Not worth the price at all, it's going back.

It smudges... a lot
-11.11.11
Quick Take: highly pigmented, smudges
It's good for drawing precise & clean lines.
However, it smudges, creases, gives me panda eyes, and erases very easily.
Not waterproof. Not even water resistance. You can wash it off with water very clean.
I was looking for something that would last on my eyes without smudging....... this wasn't it.
