Kryolan Viva Brilliant Color Refill Blueberry Review

Hi all,

This review is about another shade from the ‘Viva Brilliant Color Refill’ of Kryolan. The shades in this range have a duo-chromatic metallic effect that looks great with other shades as well as alone. I wanted to try a few shimmery eyeshadow crayons as they look great on the eyes on their own. But most crayons do not last long on oily lids. So I bought 3 shades from this range as gives a similar effect. The shade ‘Dragon Fruit‘ is already reviewed and I reviewed the shade ‘Medley Walnut‘ yesterday. Know more about the shade ‘Blueberry’ in today’s post.

Price: $8.50
Product Description:
Viva Brilliant Color is a new make-up concept which is suitable for eyes, face and body. Viva Brilliant Color is a color intensive pressed powder with pearlescent effects which can be applied dry or with a moistened brush or sponge. This technique will once more strengthen the color effect and its adhesion. The pearlescent Mica pigments which are used are responsible for the exclusive luster and glitter of the product. No metallic pigments are being used.

My Experience with Kryolan Viva Brilliant Color Refill Blueberry:

Packaging:
The product comes in a refill pan with a plastic encasing that closes really well. This makes it super convenient as you can store it like that and do not have to buy an empty case to fit in the pan. You can carry it with you too.

Shade:
The color looks like a bright satin blue shade in the pan. As you apply it on the eyes, you will notice the duo-chromatic effect. It has mild silver shimmers that reflect the light and give it a unique bright effect. On days when you want a dose of spark on the eyes without working with various colors from a palette, this one can save your day. I have mixed Walnut and Blueberry and applied both on the eyes for the swatch and it looks pretty.

Blendability and Pigmentation:
The shadows are pretty pigmented. The might look a little sheer due to the duo-chromatic effect but hide the darkness on the lids well. It blends well on the eyes. However, applying this with a brush can be tough. I prefer applying and blending it with my fingers. Layering it on is easy as it never cakes up. The finish is perfect and the product adheres to the skin well without any fall-out.

Texture:
The shadow is super silky and feels like a cream on the eyes. It actually feels like a creamy, shimmery crayon on the eyes. It does not feel powdery at all. It blends like a cream and stays intact on the eyes. It never feels chalky or patchy. It is a perfect replacement for eyeshadow crayons on my oily lid.

Staying Powder:
It stays forever on my eyes even without any primer. It does not crease or fade with sweat and oil. I prefer removing with oil based remover.

Overall:
I am very happy with the shade and finish and would love to try more from the range.
