If there were awards for tongue-twisting product titles this would win. But there isn't.

I've never used Covergirl before, but it's quite popular in Australia so I decided to give their eyeshadow a go.

The original verdict did not go easy on this one.

The hype

Each color-coordinated eyeshadow collection is expertly designed to bring out your blues, greens, browns and hazels, and define your eyes.

I didn't buy the collection designed for my blue eyes as I was looking for more neutral colours. I opted for the brown collection.

Keeping Beautiful's verdict

On initial application the shadow is nice, although it doesn't offer much coverage and is very natural. A bit too light for my liking.

By lunchtime the shadow is creased and coverage is uneven and patchy looking. I gave Covergirl the benefit of the doubt and wore it for a few days, and each day it failed me!

  • Original verdict: definitely not recommended.
  • Original score: 1/5.
