SHISEIDO POP POWDERGEL EYESHADOW

They say: A collection of silky eyeshadow formulas that boast the application ease of a cream and the staying power of a powder. The richly pigmented formulas are available in three finishes — matte, shimmer and sparkle. We say: Our tester applied these eyeshadows with the brand's new Hanen Fude Eye Shading Brush and found the formula applied smoothly and was easy to blend. True to the product claims, they produce a nice colour payoff. Our tester's fast favourite was Horo-horo Silk, a sparkling champagne shade that provided the perfect shine to lids.
