Dalton Long Wear Eye Shadow and DermaFlex Cream Eyeliner


    (Cream Liner, Shadow Duo and Brow Fix)

    Right now, I am all about a lighter, fresher look. When this arrived from Dalton, it was exactly what I was looking for. Even better, you can get the amazing Brow Fix, Shadow Duo, Cream Liner and brushes for a sweet price on the Q now.



    Dalton's Long Wear Eye Shadow in Plum Truffle and Champagne are a gorgeous duo on my fair skin. The Champagne color is slightly more pigmented than a shimmer, but isn't totally opaque either. It's like my skin tone, but brightened, radiant and with a slight shimmer.

    (Plum Truffle is on top. Champagne is on the bottom.)

    The Plum Truffle is more of a plum brown than a true plum. It looks much darker in the pan than it appears on the skin. I am loving it with my blue eyes.

    These shadows lasted from 8am until 10pm when I took them off, with no change in color, fading or creasing. I did wear an eye shadow primer, but I don't normally get that kind of wear out of a shadow with the same primer. Especially when light colors are involved.


    I paired these shadows with Dalton's DermaFlex Cream Eyeliner in Midnight. This liner comes in the same new container as the Brow Fix I am in love with. It has an inner and outer lid, to help extend the life of the product.


    It also came with a liner brush that did a nice job, despite being longer and slightly thicker than liner brushes I am used to. This liner contains Dalton's DermaFlex technology, which helps the liner bind and move with your skin without cracking, flaking or smudging.


    I wore this liner on my lids as well as tightlined, and it did not budge at all. Not at all. I don't know if I have ever used a cream liner that was as budge-proof as this. I did wear a lid primer like I do every day, but even that doesn't always stop liner from fading or smudging. That said, you're going to need an oil-based/for waterproof products makeup remover to get it off.


    On the day I wore this look for the first time, a seasoned tv producer I was working with stopped me in the halls to tell me how amazing my eyes looked that day and asked what I was wearing. Considering she has worked with some of the best makeup artists around, I was quite complimented!

    I love this liner and these shadow colors (and you know I adored the Brow Fix in Auburn). I can't stop wearing them! They're available now on QVC as part of a package deal for $38.

    This product was sent for review. Dalton does not test on animals. In fact, Doris herself is an animal rescue volunteer and serious dog lover!
