Despite the three lippie rating, to my mind, this is the most beautiful eyeshadow around. I got it in the duo called "Suede"—two very pale neutrals. It's great for someone my age (pushing 50), b/c...

I only have one Hourglass eye shadow duo at the moment, though I am planning to add one more and am actually rather thankful that they don't make too many of these to tempt me (Gypsy for sure and...

I am not usually so quick to judge a product as I like to give them a real go before writing a review, but I have been struggling to like this eyeshadow. I love the colours and the almost...

I have it in "dune" and look forward to picking up more from the line as these blend like butter. Super easy and doesn't take much to work on the lid. I encounter zero fading even after 8 hours of...

Too much frost...powder is loose and smears in the case. Colors have a lot of depth but do not last on me.

Hourglass makes fantastic eyeshadows. I have read many good things about these on the internet so I tried the duo in Dune. Awesome! The formula reminds me of Dior, one of my faves, and is very...

I have this in Dune. Dune is a dark olive shimmer and a gold shimmer duo - absolutely beautiful colors and very wearable. The formulation is very blendable and buttery. Quite pigmented too....

I was drawn to these because of packaging - really chic. Colors look lovely as well. My issue is that there is so much of the shadow which 'drops' around the eyes...i end up looking like racoon...

I love these shadows! The duos were my gateway to many more to come. Exhibition's siren song was too seductive to pass up, not to mention the divine colour and texture. These formulas can be...

I bought three of these shadow duos over the weekend. The only one I've tried so far is Suede, and I really like it. I used the darker color as a wash, then applied the lighter color to my...

Sorry to say I think these duos are overrated. The colors aren't special, and they definitely fade like any other shadow. It's true the textures are soft, but the color payoff does not wow me,...

I might get killed for this review. I do not like these shadows (I have Gypsy duo) at all. The formula is too soft; no matter what brush I use, it picks up way too much. Product turns into...
