Revlon Shoot the Moon Collection Eye Paint, Ellipse [Amazon Exclusive]

I tried to take a picture of this stuff but my skills are sadly lacking, i really couldnt capture the true depth of colour and shine this stuff gives.This is a gorgeous metallic purple cream eyeshadow in a small lipgloss type applicator. The cream is thick and squirts slowly out of a hole in the middle of the slopped top of the tube. It is highly pigmented and looks fab as an eyeshadow and looks nice on lips (if metallic purple lips are your kind of thing!)This cream has good staying power, much more so than id expect of a cream.The applicator works well for a lipgloss but im not 100% sure of the point of putting an eyeshadow in this kind of tube. It certainly isnt something im tempted to use to poke about near my eyes with and it certainly isnt handy to spread the eyeshadow over the eyelid with, its just too big.This is a fab coloured eyepaint and is suitable for anyone after a highly pigmented proper metallic purple cream eye shadow.

I applied this with a brush to create a thick line /liner. The colour could look more impressive if used as solid eyeshadow but on me, it gave a bruised impression. The grape colour is matt, with a definite shimmer, then when rubbed in, it is lighter and more flattering. The 7.7 ml tube is generous and it is easy to squeeze out a tiny amount. Will last for a long time.

We like this product. It's in a cute packaging, it's easy to apply (but don't use too much!), the colours are pretty and it leaves no creasing and lasts all day.However, do note that it doesn't build well and you have to be careful, especially with the darker Ellipse, not to add too much product as if you put on too much and start to build, it goes more brown than purple and I found it too darkMaybe test on the hand first to get hte right amount.We like it, but it's not very buildable

This is a dark aubergine liquid eyeshadow. When I say liquid, it's more of a thick sludge and you only need a tiny amount on each eyelid to make an impact. It's certainly dramatic. You might end up looking as if you've walked into a door, but I found that it worked very well in the socket with a lighter eyeshadow on the lid itself and then blended in, by which time it has turned a purply-grey. It goes on smoothly and leaves a slight gleam.

A cream-to-powder eye shadow, gives strong colour that can also be blended down for a more subtlety effect. Good as a wash of colour during the day and can be built up for night. I applied this directly with my finger for a slightly casual look. Great subtle shimmer and once on this lasts beautifully.

This eyeshadow is lovely and smooth once you get used to the applicator. A little goes a long way, you have a bit of blending time if you need it.

This is a really lovely lilac-purple colour with shimmery glints in it.It comes in a tube though with an applicator top that is faceted at a slant angle and you squeeze the tube to make the eyeshadow which is in a creamy format appear through the little hole. I really don’t see how you could squeeze this stuff out and apply directly to your eyelid though...... you’d have very little control over where it was going. My solution was to squeeze the tube til a tiny bit appeared and then scoop that up with an eyeshadow brush and apply it with that. Works perfectly and looks lovely.Lasts all day too without flaking or settling into the creases.

I am just swooning over this eye paint. Ellipse is a beautiful deep grape-y purple with a golden shimmer, and I love the way it looks on my eyes - you can wear it thick and richly coloured, or spread it a bit thinner and have a more gentle colour and mostly shimmer. It's not an ideal applicator - I put it on my finger or a brush and apply from the squeeze-y tube - but that can't dissuade me from 5 stars.
