Physicians Formula Baked Eye Shadow Baked Sands

Physicians Formula's Baked Eye Shadow was one of the first formulas I had ever seen that could be applied dry or wet. I have used wet formulas that never worked, and dry formulas that were too drying. When I saw that I had options with the Baked Collection I was more than impressed.

I could either apply as is in the container, or I could wet a brush and apply it dry. I could even wet a thin brush and apply the darker colors as eye liner. Pretty damn nifty if you ask me. What is even more nifty is that these eye shadows are actually baked on Italian terracotta tiles. Neat indeed. I had no idea eye shadows could be made by baking them.

I had quite a large selection of colors to choose from, each baked palate came with 3 different colors in matching hues, and an eye shadow applicator. I choose Baked Sands simply because browns tend to look best on my eyes. However there are summer fruit hues, darker colors, and playful fun flirty colors. You name it, the Baked Collection most likely will have it.

Baked Sands came with a very dark amber brown, a light sandy brown, and a pearly white. Each color looks like they are muffins that were baked and raised up as they cooked. Pretty creative seeing how they come from the 'Baked Collection'.

The price was on sale for $3.99, so I figured if it sucked it was not much of a huge loss.

I got home, pulled out my make-up applying mirror and began playing with the different colors. I placed the dark brown on the bottom, the sandy in the middle, and the pearl whit towards the eyebrow. The colors mixed flawlessly, and looked like I had just had a professional do up my eye. I had never in my life used such a silky moisturizing formula before, where colors effortlessly run into one another and blend perfectly. Usually when I would apply more than 2 colors I would look like a moron with rainbows on my eyes, or it would blend into a bruised look.

I wondered if over time the shadow would blend together and cause that crusty eye shadow line that all woman know all too well. You know, a clump of of shadow in the creases.
