I love eyeshadows, especially in gold, brown, and pink tones bc they go well with my skin....I usually stick to a few brands, MAC is my all time fav, next to stila, nars,chanel, and I still use hard candy... their old skool palette is the best, but I want to venture off into others...any suggestions?

i really love cargo eyeshadows. they are soft and easy to apply and blend. i also love their colors - yukon is my favorite for everyday wear. my only complaint about them is you have to be careful how you handle them, since they break kind of easily because they are so soft.

I use and love Pure Luxe, the samples last ages. I apply them with a damp brush. http://pureluxecosmetics.com/

I can't find an eyeshadow that stays on. I guess my eyelids are too oily. I tried mac but it was so-so.

have you tried using an eyeshadow primer? i LOVE benefit's f.y...eye! it has a mousse-like texture, and really helps my eyeshadow stay on all day without creasing.

I'm a boy and I hate wearing eyeshadow so I never do! I just don't like the way it looks on me

I LOVE MAC EYESHADOW!! In fact I own just about all of the colors they have, even the ones I would never wear. I cannot help it, it is kinda of like jeans, you can never have too many because you just never know when you might need it. Sometimes I like to play with the different colors but trust me never apply more eyeshadow when you are drinking, because I have done that thinking I didn't have enough on and I woke up in the morning looking like Mimi off the Drew Carrey show! BBBAAADDD. Black eyeshadow is fun but it never applies evenly and creases super easy. Just my 2 cents....

I get some kind of allergic reaction to certain eyeshadows. I get a burning sensation, and my eyes get read and watery. CoverGirl, Maybelline, Almay, Revlon, and Benefit do this. I can't quite figure out what it is in these products that cause such a reaction.

The only ones that I've found work are Anna Sui, some MACs, Pout, and Cargo. Sigh, it's such a mystery.

Eyeshadow shopping is so painful, literally.

If anyone has similar experiences, let me know what you found out and what products work for you.

try estee lauder stuff, i use it a lot, also nicole miller. they are very smooth, and apply wet well (important since i do wet eyeshadow, no liner). they might not come in super shimmery shades, but they look nice and are easy to complement your skin tone.

I use MAC, Lancome, smashbox, stila, and Nars. I was recently at Sephora and found eye shadow by Pop Beauty called eye cake. It comes in a big pan with about 5 different colors to compliment your eye color. It was only $19 and I love it.

Oh i have the eye cake from Pop in sky and love it! I also use eyeshadow from Stila. I use the realness of concealness kit from benefit and it has a eye lid primer/redness reducer. My favorite eye accesory is eye bright from benefit...totally makes you look super awake and such

I freaking hate MAC, and I get 30% off as a stylist.

i use f.y.eye as my primer and love ooh la lift to brighten up under my eyes. how do you wear the eye bright?

I put it in the inner eye corners, drawing a V. I also add some to the area between the nose and eyes that is a bit purple. You can also use it on the outside corners as well but I personally only do the inner corners. It also can be used on the under eye circles a little. Totally worth the money.

i use that too . very cheap and great stuff. since i hardly ever wear makeup and i like lots of eyeshadow colors, the samples work perfect. i have like 10 + a blush (beach bunny, great shade )

I also like urban decay eye shadows.

try curling your lashes when you put on eyeshadow...trust me, you'll like it then

I've tried it all! My friends even try to convince me My eyelids are naturally weirdly colored...it really looks like I have brown eyeshadow on all the time, people don't believe me sometimes when I say I'm not wearing eyeshadow! So I always just end up not putting any on because I don't like the look of it on me.

Me too, it's such a pain. My eyes get watery, red, itchy, bumpy and puffy. I only get allergic reactions to the cheap/generic stuff though. I once had my make up done by a pro for a wedding (thank god it wasn't mine) and she used the cheap stuff. The next day I looked like I was crying all night and it took the rash about 2 weeks to completely heal. So far I've been ok with MAC, Chanel, Clinique and Lancome but MAC and Chanel are the ones I use the most.

Why do you hate MAC? Just curious, I love hearing opinions on brands I love.

Do you guys think it's alright to match eye shadow with your clothing? Someone once told me it was tacky but this well known Swedish chef does it all the time and she always looks so pretty.

I use Too Faced eye shadow and love it! Their eye shadows are highly pigmented so a little goes a long wayy!

I did that way back in the 6th and 7th grade...

IMO, not the best look...JMO, it brings me back to the 6th grade and those aren't the best memories!

That happens to me too with eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. It happens with everything, though I have found Clinique and Estee Lauder bother me less than others. I don't know why.

Chanel is bar none...THE BEST eyeshadow...especially if you have any type of reactions ( i think someone posted something like that here). I've tried 'em all...high end, & low end...if you are "older" like me...lol...Chanel just goes on WAY smoother (good for those of us who don't have 21 year old eyes)
