Quick Take: creases
This eyeshadow creased on me (with a primer) within an hour, the color is gorgeous, the payoff is fantastic, but I was extremely disappointed in this eyeshadow! Keep looking.

Dusk - Intimate - Mystery
-10.13.12
Quick Take: blends easily
Based on previous reviews I purchased Dusk, Intimate and Mystery. The color payoff is very poor. I am used to NARS eyeshadows (Galapagos and Lola Lola) and I love them because the color payoff is strong and I can get lots of different looks by using different brushes and applying with a lighter or heavier touch. These colors look the same regardless of how much I apply - and they are much lighter than the swatches appear. The Dusk is a pale gray with a hint of sage and brings out the color of my hazel eyes. The Intimate is probably my favorite because it is a good highlighting color. The Mystery is nowhere near a chocolate brown - it is a faded looking gray brown - very cool and absolutely no depth of color. The best quality of this product is the application - it is smooth and effortless. If you like very pale colors this might be the product for you. I prefer a more versatile product.

Dusk
-07.31.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented
Mossy grey is an accurate description – there is just enough of a hint of green for this not to be straight up boring grey. The texture is lovely and it blends nicely with lighter shades. Also works well as a liner – no flaking and minimal smudging. It does crease on my lid if I don’t use a primer but all shadows do on me.

LOVE!
-04.13.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
I love, love, love these eyeshadows. I ordered Intimate, Dusk, Mystery. I purchased Nude elsewhere. Why doesn't Sephora offer it?
These have the most incredible texture which allows them to blend beautifully. Intimate is lovely to wear on it own with red lips or blended with mystery and nude. I was afraid Mystery would be too warm but it' a lovely neutral brown. Unfortunately, Dusk was just too cool for my skin tone.
I've worn them over TFSI and they've not budged all day.

One of a kind and fantastic!
-02.24.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant, luminous, finely milled, velvety texture
I purchased Dusk and Intimate from Sephora as well as Nude from Neiman's. I don't own nor have I ever tried eyeshadows quite like these. These are truly luminous without being frosty, metallic, glittery, or shimmery. Highly blendable and intimate and dusk both have a lot of dimension. Nude is different from any other beige or nude shadow I have ever owned. It covers my veins and redness and brightens up the area without looking dry or over powdery. You can do an array of effects with these from soft to bold - the pigmentation is any way you could need it and that is so unique. I do not need to wear primer underneath these and they do not crease despite having oily lids. These are nice size in a luxe compact with a suede pouch. Worth every penny and the only thing I have left to say is time to buy more.

My fav eyeshadows of all time
-02.07.12
I could not be happier to see Edward's eyeshadows added to Sephora's lineup! The texture is incredible - glides on flawlessly and stays put all day. And these shades are all you ever need. They are so easy to use - you can't mess up with such classic colors. Also love that there is not too much glitter or shimmer. I wish I could choose a fav but I have them all and love to mix n match. These shadows are a homerun.
