I love the colours and the silky look of it when I put it on, and it lasts for quite sometime too. Its probably one of the best eyeshadows Ive ever tried but it's a little too pricey for me honestly.

I would actually rate this 3.5, but that's not an option, so I decided to rate this a 4 out of generosity.
I purchased this eyeshadow trio in Screen Shot.
Screen Shot has three shades: a matte nude with warm/pink undertones (highlight color), a slightly shimmery warm brown (base color), and a very shimmery cool brown (crease color).
The crease color, by the way, is WAY too shimmery. It makes your eyelids look like some kind of disco ball! Worse yet, the glitter somehow manages to find its way onto your lips and hair. The base color, however, has a very reasonable amount of shimmer.
The pigment of these eyeshadows aren't as intense as MAC, which is slightly disappointing, but the pigment isn't dull either.
I can go as far as to say that you don't need primer underneath these eyeshadows--they'll stay on for a reasonable amount of time (4-5 hours), and they don't crease either.
However, I don't think any of that is worth it. I would much rather get two high quality MAC eyeshadows for $30 than get this eyeshadow trio for $28.
Would I repurchase? No. I'll stick with my MAC and Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadows.

Got this in a swap. I really like it. It reminds me of Highbeam from benefit, in the way the product looks before you add it to the skin.. Once added to the undereye area, it blends in quite well. For me, not only does it brighten the area, but it doesn't dry me out or exentuate my dryness.. It also seems to provide a small amount of coverage. I really like this.

I got this product free from Sephora using my points. I was really pleased with it. I've been going for a more natural look lately, and the lightest shade is my absolute fave for that effect.
I apply a base, topped with the lightest shade from the lashline to the crease, couple with a light application of black liner and blach mascara. I love the effect.
The shadow blends right into my fair skin, but leaves a satiny finish that looks so natural and last all day. I have used the other colors too. They all work nicely together and blend like a dream.
This trio is a great asset to your basic bag. I usually use Dior and Lancome shadows, so quality is not lost on me. I think (I could be wrong, I've just never paid for anything in the line) Smashbox is on the less costly end. Presuming I'm right, just another perk!!

This eyeshadow is very silky and creamy. It isn't very pigmented to the point where you have to be careful how much you get on your brush. The colors are not that dark but its perfect for a neutral day look. I really like the consistency and silkiness!!!! would repurchase if its cheaper

i like this eyeshadow trio alot. the colors compliment eachother well. they are silky & easy to apply. all the colors are semi-neutral on thier own but you can apply them together to make your eyes really pop! once applied they last all day without creasing. continued >>

I love the colours( eggplant, cream and taupe) but I just don't use them! I think it's because they don't blend as well as some colours in my collection. In addition they seem to 'drop' on application more than ther brands. I'm forever 'cleaning up' under my eyes and sometimes it's just easier to use a more pressed eyecolour and skip the extra step. ***********************I have decided that the taupe is more of a shimmery khaki on and that I LOVE it! (They still drop all over my cheeks though!)

Photo Op consists of a cream highlighter, matte burgandy eggplant and shimmery grey taupe shade. Very pigmented! Retails for $28 for the trio. Shadows are richly pigmented, go on smoothly and last all day without creasing. Top quality product and Smashbox shadows are among my faves!
