I've been using the Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadow for just over a week now and during that time i've used it every single day! It is one of the most interesting eyeshadows i've ever tried due to its mousse consistency. I'd heard of these shadows before but never realised they were a mousse until I swatched them in Boots. The colour range of these is so nice, I also wanted to get 'Pearl' a pale shimmery white with a hint of green, but there's also a copper, bronze for those who prefer the neutrals.
The colour I chose, Pink Opal is a pale lilac-y pink which adds a subtle wash of colour so its perfect for those of us who don't get too experimental with bright eyeshadows because its a great way of easing yourself into colour. Pink Opal is also one of those shades that has an iridescence to it when it catches the light, this is definitely why I chose this colour as it really brightens the eyes and is massively Spring-appropriate.
As you may expect from a mousse formulation, the Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadows can crease because the texture of them is so light and whipped, although what I like to do to combat that is to apply my L'Oreal Color Riche Mono eyeshadow in 'Opalescent' lightly over the top to set it, as the L'Oreal shadow is an iridescent white with lilac tones, so the two compliment eachother perfectly.
Overall I've really been loving my Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadow and think the innovative formula and lightweight texture makes them both fun and fast to apply and the perfect quick fix product for switching up your make up bag for Spring.
Max Factor Excess Shimmer Eyeshadows are available now at Boots and Superdrug, priced at £7.99
