I absolutely LOVE this shadow! I've had the Insurance Palette for years now but it was in my train case. Every now and again I love to take a look at things I haven't used in a while and for the last 2 weeks I have worn this EVERY DAY! I wear this as a highlight or sorts. Not on the brow bone as I do not like shimmer there, but in the tear duct and in the center of my lid. I use a wash of brown under. Love this on my NW45 skintone. It is perfection. This is a beautiful, glittery medium taupe with a bit of purple. Just scrumptious! Very well done, Too Faced!

I absolutely love this eyeshadow, I reach for it whenever I can't decide what shade to wear. It's perfect for day or night, just the right amount of shimmer without being over the top. The taupe colour really complements my eyes and pale skin. Will definitely repurchase once I use it up.

I love taupe eyeshadows in general, and I think the color of this is soooooo pretty. It’s a shimmery, silvery taupe that leaves a really pretty metallic sheen on my eyelids. It’s a neutral shade that goes well with black, dark brown, navy, and purple eyeliner/shadow. Unfortunately, though, this has a lot of silver glitter, which results in quite a bit of fallout. I clean it up the best I can, but it never fails, throughout the day I find silver glitter elsewhere on my face. I always apply over primer, so short of applying this wet (which I haven’t tried) I don’t think there’s much I can do to control the glitter problem. I think this is better suited for nighttime or special occasions, at least for me since I’m generally a pretty ‘casual’ person, and I feel glitter is out of place most of the time. I will continue to experiment with this, as I do think the color is probably the prettiest taupe I own, unfortunately though the glitter is just too much for it to become an everyday ‘staple’ for me. I recommend this because the quality & wear time are good, and the color is gorgeous. If you are a fan of glitter, you would probably love this. I would repurchase, though I doubt I would ever have to. I think Too Faced products are generally overpriced at full retail, but I got this for a discounted price from Hautelook, and it is well worth the price I paid.

I searched forever for a colour like Glamazon (taupe, grey, light purple with slight shimmer), and I was so excited to take this eyeshadow home after I bought it from Sephora. Practically skipped home.

When I went to use the shadow for the first time, there was an abundance of glitter/sparkles. I always use UD Primer Potion, and apply with a proper eye shadow brush, but no matter how careful I am, I end up with a crap load of glitter and sparkles fallout.

When I turn my head even the slightest, these sparkles end up screaming off of my face. I still wear the shadow, but take my time applying it, and wipe/pick off the glitter when I'm done. Real shame... amazing colour, but a hassle.

I have the Insurance Policy Palette and this is one of the shades that comes in it. it is by far my most used shadow in the box! i love it so much. it is the perfect base for a neutral eye and it has just enough shimmer to make my eyes look bigger and my awake. the only downside to this product is that somehow or other, glitter always ends up on my face. but i really don't care, i love it so much. if i can't find an exact dupe of this product, i will purchase again.

I have been trying to learn to do a 'neutral' eye for myself but couldn't find a combo of e/s that I liked until Glamazon came into my life. I love this eyeshadow! I got it in the Enchanted Glamorland palatte and it quickly became my favorite eyeshadow. I use it as a wash of color on my lower lid up to my crease then I apply 'label whore' (sometimes a different e/s) lightly into my crease and there's my everyday neutral eye look. I will repurchase again - I already have a backup of this.

I really wanted to like this eye shadow. I'd heard a lot of buzz around it and was disappointed to find that this shade had several problems.


To begin with, it's a lot lighter than I thought it'd be. On Sephora's website it is described as "silver fawn." I didn't know what that meant (and still don't), but I'd describe the shade as more of a flesh-tone (whereas I had hoped it would be more of a frosty taupe). When I applied a little bit of this color on my brow bone, Glamazon seemed more appropriate as a highlighter color. When I applied Glamazon with a heavy hand, it appeared to be too orange in color and rather "blah." The final straw was that I realized it had glitter in it. The glitter wasn't overwhelming (in fact, I hadn't noticed it the first couple of times I played around with the shade), but it was enough for me to call the whole thing off as glitter typically isn't the look I aim for. To be fair, I would probably keep this shade if I had unlimited funds as I'm sure I could find a use for it. But since that's not the case, I returned the eye shadow to Sephora and will save my money to try some of Too Faced's eye shadow duos in the future - several of them look gorgeous!


Speaking of the duos, a similar shade to Glamazon minus the glitter seems to be Silk Teddy which comes in the Silk Teddy/Erotica duo.

I got mine in the Insurance Policy palette. This is a really pretty shimmery brownish champagne color with very fine glitter (gold or silver; I can't tell). I love glitter in eyeshadow, but I think even if you're only moderately okay with glitter you'll still like this shadow because the glitter is so fine.

If you hate glitter eyeshadow this might not be right for you. One tip I can provide for cutting down on fallout is pressing the shadow onto your lid, as opposed to brushing or rubbing it on.

If you already own Urban Decay's Sidecar, you don't need to bother buying this unless you're restocking. They are practically identical, though Sidecar is a bit more metallic and has more of a gold sheen. Glamazon looks almost pinkish in comparison. The colors are very close, though, and they both have the tiny glitter.

This has a nice, smooth texture and blends nicely. I always use primer (either Too Faced or Urban Decay) and it stays all day. :) Only said I wouldn't repurchase because I'm more likely to stock up on Sidecar if I ever run out (unless Glamazon is cheaper).

I got this shadow last week in the Enchanted Glamourland palette and I've worn it a few times already. I wore it tonight to a corporate early Xmas party and it just looked stunning (I used Buck from UD's Naked Palette lightly in the crease and Virgin as a browbone highlight and the overall effect was very, very pretty). Glamazon is aptly named - it's a very glamourous looking icy light taupe - almost a beige but not too light. It applies like a dream in spite of the frosty finish - goes on smoothly and without making my lids look dry or crepe-y. I didn't have any trouble with fallout but I was careful to pack on the colour and also, I used a little "shield" under my eye to catch any shadow that might fall onto my cheeks.


I will certainly repurchase this in its individual compact once I use up what is in the palette and I can see this being a staple for me.

The color is lovely and I found it was pigmented and showed up well on my skin HOWEVER there's too much glitter fall out for me to want to buy it again. I hate when that happens.

The closure is magnetic which is kind of scary but I've never had it open up in my bag.

The consistency is very nice. Very soft and VERY pigmented. It's easily shattered though. Dropped mine and it's a little broken now but not too bad.

Very shimmery, and a nice medium brown. Can use for crease or all over lid.

I have not had a problem with glitter fall out.

I have had this for about 2 years and I used it almost daily for at least a year and have not hit pan. Worth the money!

I actually got this with the Eyeshadow Insurance Policy. I was looking to try Too Faced Shadow insurance and decided to pick up the set. For the extra $18, I figured why not? And i am so glad I did. The colors in the palette are extremely pigmented and beautiful, but Glamazon is my favorite!! There is some glitter fall out, which is irritating, but I've never seen a color quite like it. Just makes me look like I'm glowing. Love it. When I hit pan on this palette, I will definitely repurchase!

This color is really pretty, and you do get a lot of product for the money. But I am only giving it 1 lippie because of the glitter. Why do cosmetic companies have to put glitter in everything? There is fallout on the face with this shadow. I will not repurchase. It's a shame because this is a great color.

I cannot say how much I love this eyeshadow! It is my absolute favorite. I picked it up on impulse at Sephora. I am a fan of Too Faced cosmetics but none of their eyeshadow singles ever really caught my eye before. This is the PERFECT color to use as a wash for me. It's not too warm and the the glitter stays put. No fall out, and it glides right on. I use it as a wash, add a little more under the eye, and then I usually add a little Urban Decay YDK under the eye for a little definition and then do winged black liquid eyeliner and lots of mascara. Gorgeous! This is exactly what I have been looking for ever since my old favorite eyeshadow was discontinued. I actually like this one better. Would repurchase over and over again.

I have a love/hate relationship with Glamazon. The color is absolutely perfect as a base for me (I have lighter olive skin and brown hair+eyes). It goes on very very smooth and stays on all day long looking glossy and shimmery and well blended with any crease color. The two pitfalls of this shadow are 1) it crumbled and turned into messy powder when it is supposed to stay pressed; 2) it has little glittery flecks that get all over my cheeks when I apply it with a normal shadow brush. I still wear this shadow every time I go out at night because I love the color so much; but no matter how much I try, I cannot get all the sparkles off my cheeks and I am not really a "glittery on my cheeks" gal. I am still desperately searching for any shadow that is this exact color, but without the annoying sparkles.
