I hesitated for a long time to pick up any of the Armani silk eyeshadows, knowing their price tag- I didn't think that it was justified. I know that they get great reviews online, and finally decided to swatch one and couldn't believe how soft they were, pigmented, and the complexity of colors. So, clearly there was no way I could only decide on one- so I got 3, and I don't regret it at all. I've worn them all, and they are unbelievably long lasting, pigmented, and beautiful. After about 10-12 hours of wear they showed absolutely no creasing or signs of wearing off. They are pressed pigments and have the stopper (similar to the Loreal infallible shadows), I find it is easiest to apply these with my fingers, they blend out extremely easily- and are easy to pack on the color. If you apply with a brush the color just goes on a bit sheerer. I think the Loreal infallible shadows are comparable in packaging and style of pigment, but the Loreal shadows are no where near as complex in colors as the Armani. Also, the wear time of the Loreal are much less, I notice creasing (with a shadow base) at around 6 hours, where I used no base with the Armani and noticed no creasing after 10 hours.
Armani Eyes to Kill Shadow #27
This color is a burgundy purple with silver shimmer in it- I don't have anything else like it in my collection. It is really beautiful and unique. This was part of a newer release of colors that came out last year. It is very soft but doesn't have any fall out.
Armani Eyes to Kill Shadow #6
This is by far my favorite of the 3 that I got. This is an extremely unique color with golds, greens, and bronzes. It leaves the most wearable green color that looks amazing with brown eyes. I wore this with Laura Mercier cafe au lait blended in the crease and Burberry midnight brown in the outer corner, and it was gorgeous. I will be wearing this a TON over the summer!
Armani Eyes to Kill Shadow #15
I really like this color as an everyday color, really easy to use and lasts all day with little effort. The color is a bronze and copper with black. Another color that looks pretty amazing with brown eyes.
