Make-up in general (except) mascara is not strongest PC's part and probably that's a good thing she decided to concentrate on skincare instead. Shadows are of very high quality in terms of...

I was using these eyeshadows back in 2002 or so. At the time I really liked the shadows but the color selection was very limited and I moved on to pretty much everything else, lol. I tried...

I don't usually wear eyeshadow as I find them messy and sometimes difficult to blend. Not these shadows! Softly textured; not at all 'dusty'; highly pigmented, yet very easily blended. You can go...

I tried five colors. Not one was as shown on Paula's website. The shadows are smooth enough, but there is almost no pigment. The lights go on like a fine face powder. The darks show almost no...

I gave three stars because I've only tried one color, Nougat. But it's my favorite eyeshadow (and I have many MAC, BobbiBrown, Stila, etc. eyeshadows)! This color is just perfect for me for...

I purchased some of these eyeshadows as samples. I liked them because they were matte, but when I applied them I saw VERY LITTLE color.

Pros: Unscented, long-wearing, nice wearable shades. Cons: Not pigmented enough, expensive in Australia for the quality, no nice zingy colours. Would not repurchase.

I only use PC eyeshadows for the everyday natural look. I have a trio and use the cream single. These work really well for me, but are not good if you are trying something more adventurous, like a...

Such dull colours. I bought one eyeshadow set from Paula's Choice and found that it was very good for a work look, so I bought some more. All the colours are about the same! Even the ones that...

I thought this product was too sheer and too hard to build up. The shades are nice, but I only want to apply once and to be able to do so quickly.

I have two problems with these shadows. First, the colors apply so lightly (even the dark ones) that they are barely noticeable. Within a few hours of wear, it's hard to tell you even put them on....

Extra lippies from me because this product is so reasonably priced. These are TRULY matte eyeshadows that are great for days when you want that kind of look. I'm a bit puzzled by the "lack of...

Pretty nice eyeshadow. I do use a base so eyeshadows stick around, but I like the colors and durability.

I have two of these, Cream and Taupe, which I use to create a very natural eye look. They are some of the silkiest shadows I've tried, and last quite well without creasing. However, like many...

I agree with the previous reviewer. Whilst this is a nice enough product at a decent price AND which comes in extremely flattering, neutral colours, her eyeshadows do lack pigment. One has to apply...

I'm torn on these. The colors I have are Stone and Granite, and they are the *perfect* grays on me. I look best in neutral colors that lean toward the cool spectrum - colors that are too cool...
