Anyone use Benefit eyeshadow

8 replies

I have a voucher for Benefit & would like an eyeshadow for every day use at work. I like a natural look, nothing heavy or dark. Are the Benefit eye shadows good and could anyone recommend a colour? I am 40 so wondering if cream or powder would look better? I have olivey colour skin if that makes a difference. Thanks

Me! Their big beautiful eyes palette is amazing!! My eyes are green but suits all colours I think

Benefit cream eyeshadows are lovely. Birthday Suit (taupe), RSVP (gold-brown) or Skinny Jeans (silver grey) would all be good for everyday and really easy to swipe on with your finger.

Thank you - are they very shimmery? I don't want lots of shimmer as I think is settles in my eye lines possibly making me look older. I'm also interested in the waterproof eyeliner pencil - anyone used that?

I just got a cream eyeshadow yesterday. I wanted RSVP but they didn't have it in stock, I got a neutral one a bit lighter but its a bit too light really. I think RSVP looks nice.

If you get chance to try some on though do. I have heard that for some people if their eyelids have lost a bit of elasticity then cream eyeshadow may not be very flattering.

Just checked, its actually RSVP I've got but think I'd have preferred Birthday Suit which is a bit darker. Its still nice.

I got a smoky kit. Irritated my eyelid skin terribly. It went back under their 30day warranty.

I second big beautiful eyes - think it will suit everyone.

I third Big Beautiful Eyes. Will suit everyone and you can have it very subtle or make it more intense if you want to
