Solo Shadow Sheen - Schimmernder Lidschatten

Skip

I really enjoy their matte solo shadows. They perform amazing so I expected the same with these. Unfortunately these crease so bad on me and get muddy on the eyes because of it. It’s too late for me to return them so I will be gifting them to someone else but for me they did not work. I also don’t have oily eyelids so it was surprising how they wore.

Dried out after 2 months. Bummed.

These have dried out after less than 2 months of use. I loved this product at first and bought several colors. Now it’s like dried out toothpaste. Yes, I kept the lids on tight. I only opened it up once or twice a week.

Overrated

A fair amount of product is needed for it to show on the skin. It does not go on smooth. I imagine I will go through this quickly. I have considered returning it.

Overrated

This is my first merit product purchased. The eyeshadow does not go on smooth. I imagine I will go through this quite quickly. I have considered returning it.

Great for mature eye lids

I love this so much! If you are looking for a natural sheen on the lids this is for you. Note it’s not sparkly which I like as I am in my 50s. It is sheen and gives your lids a subtle glowing look. It is buildable. I am medium skin tone I would recommend sartorial to give more depth on the Kia or Iris

Strong pass…

Very dry texture, does not spread nicely or blend at all. Love Merit, but will not be buying the eye shadow again.

Dried Out Already

I purchased two of these shadows right after they came out. I have been really careful to make sure the lid is always on tightly yet they have already dried out. I would definitely not recommend.

These should be recalled they are so bad

I wanted to love these. The colors are gorgeous, but they are crap. You can only really apply with a finger that warms the cream. If you try to use a brush it’s crumbly and and you can’t control how much you get on the brush. They don’t spread well. And they are sunken so far in their pots if you have any nails at all, you’ll never be able to use a finger. Do better, Merit.

Nice

I went to the Stratford store to see the colours and purchase, although I was able to test the colours, they didn’t have what I wanted in store so I ordered from the website. I bought the shade Iris, it’s a nice shear purple/grey colour, buildable and lasts well on the lids. I would buy another shade.

Lasts about 3 hours and then turns muddy

I wanted to like this so much. I talked myself into it at the store. It lasts on my eyes about 3 hours and then turns muddy.

Love this for everyday.

This eyeshadow is so creamy. The color is so pretty for everyday use.

I liked it

After watching the reviews I was apprehensive. I have oily lids but the regular merit shadow is holy grail. This actually held up fine. It is not knock your socks off shimmer. It is perfect if you want a bit of highlight on your eye but think high shimmer is too much for daytime or you have more mature lids.
