Hourglass Beige is a creamy beige with a champagne sheen to it. L'oreal Colour Infallible shadows are very densely packed similar to a pressed pigment, giving a luxurious soft & creamy texture, like no other drug store shadow I have ever come across.Hourglass beige has a shimmery finish & I would compare the shade to the cult favorite Kitten eyeshadow by Stilla(review here). Kitten has a slightly more pinkie hue to it but both do have the same buttery smooth texture, finish & effect on the eye.
L'oreal Colour Infallible eyeshadows claim to be water, smudge & crease resistant. I can't vouch for it being water resistant as I haven't had a chance to test that out, but the claims about crease resistance are very true. On my eyes this shadow lasts about 9 hours with absolutely no smudging & I have used this shadow on more maturer skin & it lasts just as well without a smudge or crease in sight.I do suggest using your ring finger to apply this shadow as a brush just won't pick up enough product, but with one swipe with your finger the color pay off is amazingly intense.
I tend to wear this shadow on the lid & tear duct area & defuse the shade out to the socket with a brown shade to give the eye some dimension (my quick & easy go to look). Also if your in a rush this product is a great multitasker as this shade works well for highlighting the brow bone & the inner corner tear duct area of the eye, to give a open bright eyed look.Over all this is a great eyeshadow & L'oreal Colour Infallible eyeshadows have to be my favorite high street/drug store eyeshadow of 2013.Available from Boots & Superdrug for £6.99 & fragrancedirect.co.uk for £1.50.P.s I hope you all had a lovely Christmas :)
