Hourglass Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo - Dune
one of the other items i ordered from Hourglass at Ludwig Beck Munich (5 Höfe) is the Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo in Dune.
the palette costs 28€ at Ludwig Beck, where you have to call the counter (free delivery germany-wide with orders 50€+, otherwise 4.50€) but you can also order it online from the UK at zuneta.com (~33€, free delivery with orders 65£+).
it's a sleek and well made glossy dark brown compact which includes a mirror and a very nice little brush with soft but dense natural hair. you can twist and fold the lid in every way, it's the special feature of the packaging, but i don't find it that neccessary. it has a magnetic closure.
the product contains 2 pans with 3g of eyeshadow each, so you get 6g of product, which is for example 5 times the total amount of a Chanel quad (!!!). the big amount comes very handy to people who like to have products to use on a daily basis.
the quality of the eyeshadows is really outstanding. amazingly smooth and almost creamy, they apply and blend out & together beautifully. all of their colours are very pigmented and have a depth i can't compare with any other piece of my big stash.
Dune consists of a shimmery pale gold which shimmers gold and white and doesn't look frosty. it can be too yellow for my skin tone, i have to be careful to combine it the right way. the other colour is a very intense military green which base shade has a satin finish but also contains gold and green sparkles. i can also detect some pink glimmer specks. it's great as an eyeliner or a dark crease/outer corner shade. a very easy to wear green which i can imagine will also look great as a outer corner colour combined with medium teals/aqua blues. blended out the shimmer is still visible, but less.
both apply intensely, i only need to dab my brush into the pan once or twice to do my whole lid. i don't get fall outs with these.the shades last on me very well, with a good base they don't crease or fade on me even after 12h+.
highly recommended! you should at least try one of these, they are really worth the money and i can't imagine anyone wouldn't like them.

this is how it looks applied: i created a softer and a more intense look.
