Rose Inc Satin Copper/Copper Shimmer Satin & Shimmer Duet Eyeshadow Review & Swatches

Rose Inc Satin Copper/Copper Shimmer Satin & Shimmer Duet Eyeshadow ($30.00 for 0.1 oz.) includes a sparkling, copper powder eyeshadow and a darker copper cream eyeshadow.

Sheer coverage (not “pigment-rich”) Drier, flaky texture, prone to fallout Best applied over a tacky base Continue Reading…
