So recently I purchased the Covergirl Intense Shadow Blast in the colour Beige Blaze so that I could test out the product since the advertising for this product looked amazing ! (I'm such a sucker for good advertising!)
When I swatched it in the store I was really excited to get home and try it out since it swatched really well, however now that I've used it a few times I'm a little on the fence about it. Maybe it is the colour I picked or maybe it's the product itself but I feel like when I apply it to my eyes it isn't a 'intense' as when I swatch it on my hand. For example, this is how it swatched on my hand
As you can see the colour is really pigmented, however when I applied it to my eyelid it came out like this..
Hardly noticeable !
I have also used it a few times as a primer underneath my usual eyeshadow and I have to say that it definitely works better as a hint of shimmer underneath your eyeshadow rather than an all over 'intense' shadow.
I'm also not crazy about the applicator it's impossible to get a nice shape on your eye with it and I always end up using my finger to smooth out harsh lines which makes the eyeshadow itself even less noticeable as it rubs away quite easily.
So all in all, I wasn't overly impressed with the Intense Shadow Blast as a Shadow, however as a primer I think it works well to blend other colours together.
If you have tried out other colours, let me know if this is the same for those as well, when I bought this colour I intended on buying a bolder colour once I had tested this out, however after I used this I'm a bit skeptical about buying another one. What do you think?
