Stairs to the Stars
MAC Stairs to the Stars Spellbinder Shadow ($25.00 for 0.02 oz.) is a barely blackened, reddish-burgundy with hotter undertones and advantageous, shimmer end that appeared extra satin-like utilized dry and extra metallic utilized moist. The feel was extremely finely-milled and tender to the contact.
There’s nothing that basically means that they may (or ought to) be used with a dampened brush, however they had been so dismal once I initially swatched them dry, I assumed, whereas we’re right here… and there’s an enormous enchancment when working with it with a dampened brush (simply water). The pigmentation was semi-sheer utilized dry and opaque utilized moist, whereas I had gentle fallout working with it dry, I had no fallout working with it moist and it nonetheless had all of the blendability of an amazing powder eyeshadow. It wore properly for seven hours earlier than fading noticeably utilized dry, and it wore for a full eight hours properly once I used it with a dampened brush.
(As a result of this wasn’t marketed as a moist/dry method, the score is just for the product used dry.)
