MY 2 CENTS

I’m going to start off by saying I’m not very impressed with these eyeshadows at all. For a drugstore brand, I didn’t have high hopes for these shadows to begin with so I can’t say I’m disappointed but I’m definitely not impressed.

I bought Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows in Ready to Wear because I was attracted to the sleek palette, shimmery neutrals and golds, and because I’ve always wanted to try Milani. Actually, I had no idea they were sold in Canada.
Ready to Wear has “six intense eye color bars” (excerpt from Milani website) that you can use wet, for a more intense color or dry, for a shimmer effect.
The finish in this Ready to Wear palette is a mix of pearl, shimmer, and matte.

I’ll list the pros first, since there’s less than cons!

  • When worn with a primer, these shadows do not crease
  • Sleek palette, clear lid, portable
  • Can be used wet or dry
  • Pretty to look at

Now for my long list of cons:

  • Shadows crease without a primer
  • Color pay-off is poor
  • Slight issue with picking up color because the shadows are too close together
  • Shadows are very fragile, can be broken easily
  • Difficult to blend
  • Shadows are sort of chalky/powdery
  • Too much fall-out
  • The sponge applicator in the palette is a toss out
The bottom line is I would never buy another Runway Eyes Fashion palette but I may be tempted to try another one of Milani’s products.
