My experience with ELF Eyeshadow Duo Butter Pecan

Packaging: It comes in a circular transparent screw cap. There’s no mention on the box and I had to Google it for the name. The box is easy to carry along because of its tiny size and two eyeshadows in one make. Storing the same is quite convenient as well. E.L.F has also creamy shades in such duo packs with a wide range of colors.

Shade: This is a classic warm eyeshadow duo with a peach and light brown color with golden shimmers at first glance but after application the former one looks more pearl white and other one looks like a golden brown color. This is a very neutral shade which will suit any skin tone and can be used for daily wear too. You can use the lighter shade towards the inner corner of your eyes and blend it with the golden shade towards the outer corner.

Pigmentation: They are very reasonably pigmented. I would suggest using a primer which will help to show the lighter shade much better. On my first application I had not used a primer and by the end of the day it faded completely, the eyeshadow also creased a bit and accumulated in crease lines. With the use of a primer, I havenoticed that they last a lot longer and don’t crease as much. The texture of this eyeshadow is very soft hence can easily be blended.

Staying Power: It lasted for about 3 hours. With a good primer, it will last for a longer duration. After application I didn’t have any fallout. It sits on the eyes without any ch bothersome feel. The golden shimmer is still visible after the tint fades off. And finally this eyeshadow can be easily washed off and doesn’t need any makeup remover. They could be more pigmented and with a better staying power, but those are issues that can be easily solved by using a good eye primer.

These duos are a great choice if you’re starting to play with makeup. The available colors are all very wearable and everyone will surely find a duo that they love. I have purchased more from the same range and would try them all first. This shade is a very neutral and would not go wrong with anyone. For daily wear, I definitely love them.
