The color was very vibrant and it was a lovely pink!
I've always heard good things about Excel eyeshadow. I'd also heard good things about Skinny Rich, but this one was being sold in a lucky bag sort of way, so I bought it with a feeling it would be good too. It's very useful for office makeup. It's not too flashy, not too understated, and has a neat texture. I recently had my face type diagnosed and was recommended this CS05 by Fresh, and my personal color diagnosis for warm autumn tones also seems to suggest CS05, so I really want it, but it's been out of production for a long time! (I wish the salon's materials would be corrected...) It's definitely good, so if I could buy it now, I would.
Color payoff: ☆☆★★★ (3 stars) Durability: ☆★★★★ I love the bold color variations. After 9 hours without an eye base, the color had faded a little, but it didn't pool or crease in my double eyelids.
Both of the colors I purchased have a muted, mature tone that's perfect for autumn and winter, and I love them! The eyeshadows tend to have a matte look, but I love the choice of glitter colors! Especially Cherry Scarf! By adding yellow glitter to the overall purple, it instantly gives off a starry sky vibe and really lifts my spirits! The only thing that bothered me was that when I was using Beige Mouton, the khaki color didn't really show up well, so I had to touch up my makeup a few times. Anyway, I love the colors!
The powder is fine, but it's moisturizing and occasionally releases small clumps when applied with the applicator. It has a shimmery, pearly finish, but it's subtle enough that it won't look too flashy even on older people. The overall color payoff is light, making it ideal for those who prefer natural makeup. The top two colors are so light they're barely visible in photos, but when light hits them, you can see a pale pink or blue. I have different eyes—one with a single eyelid that could easily become double eyelid, and the other with a double eyelid—but if I use four colors at once, the darkest brown on the bottom right can make my eyes look a little puffy, so I try not to use more than three colors or apply them in a way that prevents the colors from blending. It takes a while for the color to develop, so I avoid using it when I'm busy.
