e.l.f. Essential Brightening Eye Color 2007 Drama by e.l.f. Cosmetics

Don't have much room for eye shadows or make up in my bag so the size for this is just perfect for me, colors are very wearable and it last as expected

I've used this a few times. I don't much of a "brightening" effect, but the colors are beautiful. I use the darkest color as a stand-alone eyeliner, or the 3 lighter colors (eyeliner or eyeshadow, but never both). The colors are pigmented, lasting and shimmery. I think it's a little too shimmery, but I prefer matte shades. It's cheap, but works really well. With any shimmer colors, you really need to prime and do foundation last so you can clean off any falling dust. Overall, I'm definitely reordering.

I have the Drama colors and I wear those very, very often. It was my go-to eye shadow combo while I was flight attending until recently. No complaints here! Easy to use, mix, match with lipstick shades.... And it made my eyes look incredible. Love it!

*Day 2 Night color* I've tried this product several times with and without eyelid primer and trying different brushes to apply. It looks very chalky/powdery on the skin. Also the darker colors look like one should be a dark grey and the other a deep brown but they both go on looking pale grey. The highlighting color is quite nice though.

I bought this a few days ago and I am happy with the quality for the cost, but without applying a good primer first, the eye shadow does appear chalky and un-pigmented, as the previous reviews say. I recommend Australis eye primer if you can get your hands on it! Don't bother with the applicator, I'd suggest getting a cheap eyeshadow brush. Hope this helps!
