Stila’s Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eyeshadows are one of the most intriguing makeup products to land on my table. At first glance, the texture reminds me of clumps of gold foil/paper leaf, which already seem lighter than air and crumbles easily.

The shades I’ve received are: Kitten, Metallic Dusty Rose, Comex Gold, Vintage Black Gold, Metallic Lavender, and Metallic Cobalt (RM99 each).

Each eyeshadow comes with its individual vial of primer and a metal tray. The trick is to add a bubble of primer to a bit of eyeshadow (not a full drop as it would flood and dilute the eyeshadow) and slowly mix them together. It is rather fun to watch the foil-like eyeshadow from the pot “melt” into a smooth, creamy texture. The Stay All Day Liquid Eye Primer (RM65 for 7ml) and Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow Applicator #37 (RM69) are also sold separately. The primer did make the eyeshadows last an entire day. I recommend storing the primer with its default cap instead of the pipette/dropper. From my observation, leaving pipettes on bottles makes the contents evaporate much faster.

They are incredibly metallic and opaque, which is not seen in other brands’ eyeshadows. Stila‘s Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eyeshadows are definitely one of a kind.

I still have not figured out the best look using these eyeshadows for Asian features as these eyeshadows are very, very metallic! Combined with our more dewy skin, they do make your face appear shinier (and sometimes oilier).

These Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eyeshadows are best used sparingly and/or reserved for parties and the upcoming holiday season, where going over-the-top is always welcome.

Stila is available at Sephora stores nationwide and via Zalora.
