Maybelline New York Color Strike Eye Shadow Pen, Cream To Powder Finish, 20 Charm

The color is beautiful, sort of a burnished burgundy. It goes on smooth and stays on all day. Lol I have even slept in it a time or two and woke up with the color the same as when I first put it on!

This is awful. I purchased this because I love cream to powder eyeshadow. The color is completely off. While I know that different screens and monitors affect the color of delivered product, this is not the case for this.The first issue: the applicator is a firm foam bullet, which might not be bad. However the shadow didn't load on to it, much at all. In the picture provided in this review, you can see that on the left side of my hand. those first two lines is how the product is applying with what you would consider normal pressure for eyelid application. As you can tell, very little product and very sheer. The darkest line to the right was pushing, very hard, and there's no way that would be safe or feel okay on an eyelid.The second issue: the color and opacity. This color is more berry than maroon. This is sheer and looks like it has been worn all day. The box and the listing on Amazon shows it as very rich and opaque.Third issue: I'm pretty sure this us as old as Moses. I think it is not applying well because it is dried up. There's no fall out or any product to shake off the wand, but there's literally no excess cream or product on applicator.Sorry, but it's a no-go.

I’ve been looking for an easy to apply, creamy eyeshadow in a soft brown that has no red or shiny highlights. Something that could be blended softly. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and price is excellent!

I purchased this because Bethenny Frankel recommended it and I trust her and she gave a fair review because she just tried it a couple times. I ordered it in Crave and the dark blue. The crave was perfection. it’s a medium neutral matte brown in color but somehow it has a satin finish or feels like a satin new product when applying. It went on like a dream and was so easy to use and I found that it was the only shadow I needed other than some thing under my brow bone and I could define my hooded eyes so well. it looks beautiful. When I went to use it for the third time I noticed I couldn’t get much product out and then the fourth and fifth time there was barely any product left. Either the wand doesn’t go down far enough to reach the product or there wasn’t much product to begin with. I heard someone else say that you have to pump the product but there’s no way to pump it as there is no spring on the Or give to allow you to get down to the product that’s at the bottom of the tube. I just tried the blue one the other day and it was gorgeous on my eyes and did exactly what I wanted it to do. It was very easy to use but by the end of the day it was dry and crumbly at the corners. Maybe I put too much on in that area, but still. I wanted to be able to accentuate the outer corner more. I noticed the price went up because I got it for under six dollars and now it’s up to $10 I think due to Bethenny‘s recommendation. I don’t know if I got an old product because that can happen here and I might be willing to give it another try if I bought it in the store. That’s my experience with it. I haven’t use the blue one to know whether that one will have as little product in it as the Krave color. I don’t think I would purchase it from Amazon again.

I liked this product because it is different than the usual eye shadow. A cream that goes on like a powder! Lasts all day without fading.

Zohhhhmmmggggg I love these. I’m a natural makeup person and spend 10 minutes max on my face each day. I put this over Laura Mercier’s eye primer and it lasts all day. Plays nice with the Maybelline color tattoo pots, too. ZERO creasing, fallout, wear, blending or budging all day, through workouts, hikes, chores and sweat. The colors I’ve tried are great but neutral (hustle, rally, chase). Not sure how the value will pan out compared to other cream eyeshadow because the packaging is small, but for $7 so far I’m very happy.

It seems like I received an order with no product inside the applicator. The sponge applicator is dry as a bone and no amount of shaking/pushing makes any product come on to the applicator. It's like the container is completely empty. Needless to say the coverage is not at all like in the photo - because there is no coverage at all.

Used this product 3 or 4 times and there is nothing left! I tried pumping and twisting the wand inside the tube, but it’s empty. Don’t buy! Not worth the money. You get way more product the old fashioned way, in a powder.
