L’Oreal Paris HIP Cream Shadow Paint

First of all, thanks to Rati for her Lazy Tut which suddenly reminded me of these cream shadow paints from L’Oreal Paris HIP range which i got as gift but not put into much of use for long time. I think the entire HIP range is amazing with some lovely products like these cream shadows, eyeliners, highlighters and many more. As the name (HIP = High Intensity Pigments) suggests these are extremely intense, highly pigmented cream shadows which comes in 6 metallic shades; Witty, Secretive, Commanding, Nervy, Steely and Lofty.

I would be reviewing the shade 817 Nervy (a taupe) which is my favorite among the lot.

Description: L’Oreal Paris claims that the HIP Cream Shadow Paints provide creamy and luminous color and stunning and intense shadow. It comes in a custom compact with an application well with a professional small brush.

Price: Approximately $12 for 0.25 OZ/7.2 G.

The product comes packed in a cute little case, inside which you can find a small metal tube containing the e/s, and a small brush. Though the brush is not that bad I prefer using my fingers for blending since it is easier that way. You can really use these cream shadows alone because once they set, they do not move/crease/smudge. Like I need to take them out with an oil-based cleanser. They also work great as an eye shadow base, similar to your MAC paint pots, especially for those of you who see your eye makeup disappear through out the day. I have tried both ways and completely satisfied with the outcome!! I wore this cream eye shadow paint for more than 9 hours in one day and not at all did the cream eye shadow fade or crease at all. In fact these don’t even really look like cream eye shadows, they look more like powder eye shadows once dry. I liked the fact that just a dot size of the product is required for each eye for a smooth and even finish and you can even layer upon for a more intense look.

Yes, I am quite impressed with these; they are, without exception, perfectly pigmented, slightly metallic/shimmery but in no way OTT, and exceptionally blendable while still staying put. You have to be really quick with whatever you wish to do with them on and around the lid area before they start to set, and once they’ve set, they won’t go anywhere without eye makeup remover.

Just a single swipe of the e/s on my hand looks like this:

Here it is when swatches twice on hand:

On my eyes it looks somewhat like this, though I felt the camera could not pick up the exact shade:

What I like the most in L’Oreal HIP Paris Cream Shadow Paint

• Great pigmentation and a little go a long way with this product.
• Though the shades are metallic, these are perfect even for daily/office use if blended properly.
• The staying power is amazing! Once it dries, it will not budge/crease at all.
• Ultra smooth, creamy texture which makes it super easy to blend; only thing you have to be quick before it sets.
• No need to use a primer beneath this eye shadow.
• This is a 2-in-1 product – can be used alone or as an excellent base for your powder eye shadows for a vibrant look.
• Convenient packaging with a small brush and an application well where you can mix the shadows.

What I didn’t like about L’Oreal Paris HIP Cream Shadow Paint

• Each individual shade retails @ around $12 which is pricey for the quantity it offers. But i think these could be grabbed at amazing discounts at some drugstores abroad.
• Not yet available in India.
• Packed in a metal tube which after few times of use gets kind of wrinkled and becomes difficult to squeeze out the product. . Also it leads to wastage since sometimes on squeezing more quantity of the product comes out than what is required. I would’ve preferred these in pots!

If ever you can lay your hands on these shadow paints do grab them without fail, its worth all the hype, and I recommend this to those of you who are lazy for touch-ups in between or to use a primer beneath your powder e/s- this will undoubtedly be your best friend!!

My Rating would be 4 out of 5.

  1. This look so good! Amongst the 6 swatches I like the one you’ve reviewed best..its the kindof shade you can wear everyday without looking OTT. Why aren’t these available in India yet!! :headbang:

    1. haan me back… it was a good day naina.. really!! I was a little bored and a little uncomfortable with the change but overall I think it was quite a productive day. And I think I’ll write an article on makeup for office goers after a week. The faces eyeliner was fantastic. Lasted all day on my eyes without smudging or fading. I had set it with an eyeshadow but I think it was quite impressive by the end of the day. I think I’ll pick more colours. :))

      How was your day?

            1. I am not liking their blush, Nids. :(( But liking the eye pencil a lot.. I set my eyeliners with eye shadows always but still pencils do play a part. This one worked for me. :)) I think priya and Rentu mentioned that the pencil didn’t last too long on their eyes so I suggest that you pick one first and if it works for you then buy the rest. 🙂

            1. come… We’d have fun.. I’ll steal all your accessories .. You see having a friend with good accessories and also sharing your love for makeup is rare to find. :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: :yelo:

    Luvly review Shyna.. :yes: :yes:

  3. Shyna the eye makeup is beautiful and you know just this much makeup on eyes makes such a difference . :))

    The shades are to die for, absolutely stunning! I wish we’d get these here. :((

    1. Rati, am so lazy when it comes to eye shadow blending n stuff…usually i skip that part and be satsified with eyeliner, kajal n mascara!But these are cool, no blending nothing..super creamy

  4. i want thiss……. 😐 😐 😐 😐 shyna its looking really nice 🙂
    ratiii u joined office…… :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

    1. haan priya.. today I joined … it was nice …. okay I cribbed a little :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: but i think I should be fine within a few days :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

  5. hi shyna seeing this for the first time. good one .
    am happy to find that u are from kochi. me too kochite. :yahoo: but settled in TVM ..

    1. I’ve mentioned Rentu, the camera has not picked up the shade properly, it is not as shimmery as you see in snaps..n on my eyes i have kinda layered it on so that it is visible in the pic..it is much more subtle in reality!

    1. Mrun, long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and that s exactly what my cousin said, these are better than MAC paint pots she was saying..cant comment since i have not used MAC 😐
