Back in September, when Boots was doing an amazing 3 for 2 offer for a whole month, this little trio eyeshadow from Max Factor ended up in my basket. This is tiggress eyeshadow trio, which can be used dry or wet.
I need to confess I have never used an eyeshadow wet, I am scared of ruining it. I was hoping this would be the perfect opportunity to pop my 'wet eyeshadow cherry' but I just can't do it. I am scared I won't be able to blend the wet texture once on my eyes.
So what does it perform applied dry? It's ok. Definitely nothing to shout home about. The yellow is a nice shade but overall I was hoping the whole trio would deliver more pigmentation. I want my eyeshadow to have more punch, and sadly this screams more 'pussy cat' than 'tiggress'.
Before I fall asleep writing this review, a little picture on how it applies on the eyes.

you're too talented with eye looks!! mine never look anything like this!!! xxx
You still made it look amazing! They're definitely not my colours though - haha I've never used an eyeshadow wet either :)
Have you tried loading up the brush then wetting it? Like with a water spray? It's a bit more time consuming but doesn't risk ruining the eyeshadow itself! :) xx
I really like the colors.... and I don't mind the pigmentation, I would surely use it wet =)
I don't usually wet it straight on the eyeshadow, I use the back of my brush to kinda crumble some into a powder and mix it with water on the back of my hand.
You are right though those colours don't really pack too much of a punch but really pretty look xx
I do the something similiar to xmisslorix's way - I use a dry brush to scrub a bit of pigment dust from the pressed shadow on a palette, and then mix it with water there.
The colours aren't that pigmented when swatches, but I must say that the way you made them work on your eyes redeems them a bit :D .
It does look very pretty or at least your camera made it look so.
I usually apply my eyeshadows wet. I like to use only one corner of the shadow for wet application. Sometimes they're a tad harder to blend that way. You can always experiment with a shadow that you don't like and was ready to be thrown away anyway.
Gosh you should def try it wet. I do this a lot, but only for the mobile lid or as a bold liner. My best tip is just to slightly dampen the brush... don't soak it or you won't be able to lift enough colour. Practice on your hand - the depth of pigmentation will be amazing in comparison!
hmm im scared of yellow eyeshadow, so probably not for me hehe :D
