My Experience with Kiko Milano Smart Colour Eyeshadow 20 Pearly Iris:

Kiko Milano Smart Colour Eyeshadow Range

This eyeshadow comes in a very cute small black container with a clear lid that makes shade identification easier. It is a small, lightweight and travel-friendly packaging. It also comes with a black paper box that looks equally good and these shadows are quite affordable too.

The shade I picked is called ’20 Pearly Iris’, which is a beautiful violet shade with some silver shimmer particles in it. It looks fresh and is perfect for all skin tones. It’s a neutral-toned violet shade that looks beautiful and goes well with day as well as night makeup looks.

The shade is well pigmented and requires few swipes to get the color. But blending makes the shade a bit lighter on the eyes, so I have to layer it up to get the true deep color. The eyeshadow has a smooth texture that blends well on the lids and gives an even finish but the shimmer particles fall out a lot during application.

Otherwise, it blends well with other shades and gives a natural finish. It’s also a lightweight, non-patchy and non-chalky shadow. Though the shade has shimmer particles it still has a nice matte finish. I didn’t notice the pearly finish that its name suggests. It has chunky – not finely milled – shimmer particles that stay separated, hence they do not provide any pearly shine.

If I apply the shade with a brush it looks almost matte on the eyes with very few shimmer particles showing up. Wet application or application with my fingers gives a nice sparkly look. Hence, I don’t have any problem with this. I quite like its matte finish and it doesn’t crease or settle into the fine lines.

I have oily eyelids, so I always prefer to use a primer underneath this product to make it last longer; a primer increases the color intensity as well. With a primer, it lasts around 5 hours without creating any mess. After that, the color starts to look faded. Also, these shimmer particles are easy to remove.
