Brand: Nyx Professional Makeup
Product: Holographic Halo Eye Tint
Shade: Acid Blue - periwinkle blue
Binxcat's Musing: I was excited for a less expensive version of the popular eye tint/holo trend. I swatched Acid Blue and....no. Just no. There was barely any pigment and as for holographic...no. Have I said no yet?! I tried swishing teh wand through the product a number of times to try to get some semblance of pigment. This can possibly be used as an eye topper but really, it's just not even worth the effort.

I was wondering about this because it's so lacking in pigment that I think it would end up just looking like cruddy eyeshadow or faded shadow once applied. The idea of a sheer holographic eye tint is a cool one but it may be better in idea than in implementation if this is what it looks like.
ReplyDeleteThis is an easy skip. I agree, I love the idea but Nyx didn't pull it off with the formula for this blue.
