I love this shadow! It's a shimmery sunny gold color, but it isn't over the top. It also isn't super pigmented but is buildable with multiple coats. I can easily pair this color with Stila wheat and some dark purple liner for a daily look. It has great staying power as it lasts 6+ hours on me with my E.L.F. shadow primer and my BE mineral veil underneath it. You also get a lot of shadow for the money with Stila. I will repurchase if I ever use all that I have.

Incredibly pigmented copper with a gold undertone. Smooth application and not too much shimmer.Beautiful as an all over lid color. Compact packaging. Only major downside is that the shadow tends to flake/fall apart easily in the container,

Very pretty, champagne-gold and not sparkley, has just a light shimmer. Would by again, but 20 bucks is a chunk of change for a shadow.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed by Stila. Oasis is lovely in the pan, lovely swatched, nice when I apply it, but then it starts creasing and fading like crazy in no time flat. I've tried primers and naked lids. I've tried applying with my fingers and brushes. Nothing works. And I know it's not me because I have no trouble with Urban Decay eyeshadow. I can pull off cheap drugstore shadows like maybelline, nyx and loreal as well with no creasing or fading. I'm all for buttery shadow, but this shadow doesn't perform. Definitely a pricey, overpriced, overhyped disappointment. Ladies, try stila on your lids for a day before you commit to a $20 investment.

Stila's eyeshadows are fabulous; I'll say it again and again.
They are creamy, soft, pigmented, and blendable.
Oasis is a gorgeous shimmery light gold with a peachy undertone.
I've discovered that it looks spectacular on blue eyes!
Also green eyes, it really pops!
I love this eyeshadow so much!
:)

Love Oasis, I use it with Kitten sometimes for a custom look. It is a true pale gold. Very creamy and easy to blend.

I have this & Kitten & I MUCH PREFER OASIS! Oasis is more golden, whereas Kitten is more cool & frosty. One of my go-to eyeshadows! I actually got this & Kitten free at Sephora, because they were broken & they were about to throw them away. YAY!

I wasn't happy with this. It went on splotchy, too heavy in some spots, not enough in others. I tried different brushes and primers, but it was always the same. And it seemed too "frosty" for my taste. It also seemed to migrate across my face, it would end up on my cheeks, under my lower lids, etc. I tried to make this work so many times, but I finally removed it from my collection. Maybe I'll put it up for swap.

I really love this eyeshadow. It's kind of a peachy,almost metallic shimmery gold color. Haha. It is very pretty and great for a lid color, IMO. It is very pigmented and lasts all day and leaves a very pretty finish. I highly suggest checking this eyeshadow out! =]

I usually love stila eye shadows, their staying power is great, even without primer. I love this color, really pretty light gold. But its application is poor, and uneven. I've tried it with and without primer, no change. I have other golds that go on better. I LOVE kitten and starlight, so this was an exception. I would buy stila again, just not this one.

Oasis has a name that truly fits - the color is a fresh gold, a miracle like finding water in a stretch of desert. There is no bronze to this shade, no yellow, no brown. Just a pure gold highlighted by iridescent shimmer. The shimmer radiates gold, but also light sparks of green and pink. This shade is not as frosty as Kitten, therefore might be more adaptable to darker and yellower skintones.
I wear this frequently, almost as much as I wear my other light-toned favorite - Kitten. I sweep a little on my eyelids with my fingertips in order to preserve the shine while conserving product. I instantly look more pulled together and more awake, yet did almost nothing in terms of 'work.'
I have had this shade for a decade, and yet I still go back to it, still love the luminous quality it gives my lids. I haven't hit pan yet, but I am close - proving how long these large pans can last. I will rebuy, of course, when the time comes.
I think this color looks lovely with Diamond Lil or Golightly in the crease. I have also blended it with Barefoot Contessa to bring out the golden warmth of the rather plummy shade.

Gorgeous pale gold color! I was surprised by the color when I applied it, as it definitely didn't look that spectacular in the pan. Very pleasantly surprised. It has great lasting power and pigmentation. Good for sprucing up a night-out look or for a clean day-time look. Would definitely repurchase.

Beautiful Eyeshadow! it's very shimmery for those who love glitter and shimmers but the color payoff for this is so much better than say a mac goldmine. The eyeshadow has a very creamy texture and goes on beautifully. The color is a very shiny gold that applies nice and soft and the color does last a long while.

unique goldish e/s that works wonderfully as an all over wash or as a highlight. works especially well on warm toned skin or those w/ a tan. Wakes my eyes right up on those tired days.

LOVE OASIS!!! I am becoming a bit of a Stila eyeshadow addict. My first purchases were Kitten, Cloud, and Wheat, plus I own several of their palettes. Others have described this color well, neutral peachy gold with a bit of shimmer. I love that I can apply this as a wash on days when I don't want an obviously made-up look. It also pairs beautifully with other shades of brown, green, plum, the possibilities are endless. Very versatile, I love this shade.

Oasis is a light shimmery hold. It looks great as a wash on its own with eyeliner or as a highlighting shade with greens, browns and purples. Like all stila shadows this goes on smooth and stays put all day. It's a great neutral shade to add to your stila palette. I would definitely buy this again.

I love, love, love this eyeshadow. It's a very pale peachy gold that shimmers instead of being glittery. Mine is getting a bit old and I'm hoping to find a cheaper duplicate, though, because Stila shadows are a bit absurdly expensive IMO.

Me: LLL NC/W 20ish Brunette with Brown Eyes. This is the perfect gold shade - not too yellow. Makes my eyes pop and is incredibly versatile. I like to pair it with greens like la douce or plums like barefoot contessa. It is very soft, highly pigmented and long lasting. Not too glittery - just subtle shimmer. Great eyeshadow, a staple in my collection. If you are looking for a gold that isnt too OTT then check this out!

Love this color! (NC40 studiofix) All stila e/s's are soo well pigmented. This is a great neutral color with just the right amount of shimmer. Perfect for a base color, the shadow is very easy to blend and has a nice sheen to it.
