L'Oreal Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow

Summer doesn't necessarily mean that you go without makeup. If you're like me, it's that time of year when makeup's lasting power is essential, especially in Florida's extreme heat and humidity. I still want to have fun with makeup and try out new looks, I just want them to last. Is that too much to ask for?

Despite hearing so many great reviews on the L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadows, I initially thought $8 was too much to pay for a single shadow. After seeing a swatch of Amber Rush, a beautiful rose gold shade, I decided to try it. I'm so glad I did- I've been blown away! I'm bringing this review to you now because I wanted to share with you this great option for a summer eye shadow. It's long wearing, water resistant, and comes in an assortment of beautiful shades!

The Infallible line of eye shadows from L'Oreal include 18 shades that include versatile, every day shades, to dramatic smokey options, and bold bursts of color. I currently have 3 shades from the line- Amber Rush (that I hauled here), Bronzed Taupe (I received this one from my Eye Shadow Wishlist and hauled in my Birthday Makeup Haul), and most recently, I purchased Iced Latte.

Don't toss this

These shadows are unique because they're a hybrid; the consistency is a combination of pressed and loose shadow and fall somewhere between a cream and a powder. This results in very luxurious feeling shadows. There is a plastic shield included to keep the shadow in place. I definitely recommend keeping it with the shadow (in the packaging)- you don't want a mess on your hands!

The pigmentation of these shadows is amazing- a little goes a long way! I like to apply the shadow with my fingers because I find it doesn't loos any of its intensity that way. I usually follow up with a brush to blend the edges and provide a more finished effect.

Most of the shades in the collection are very shimmery, so if your not into shimmer, this may not be the line for you. However, these shadows look very dimensional, giving the effect that you've put more effort into your shadow than you actually did. They also can be paired with other shadows to add intensity to an eye look or you can wear them on their own.

These shadows are extremely long wearing and they're water resistant too. Not only will they stay on your eye all day under normal circumstances, but you can also wear them to the pool, beach, or just not fret about your shadow sweating off in the heat. I've put the water resistant claim to the test and it really does hold up, provide you don't aggressively rub your eyes when your shadow is wet. It says something when I need eye makeup remover to take this shadow off at the end of the day.
