I am so in love with LORAC shadow. I will admit that in the pan a lot of the colors don't look that special or distinctive. They don't really grab you the way some shadows do (like MAC or Urban Decay). However, once applied they are soooo beautiful. I like that I can wear a pink shadow from this collection and it doesn't look bright pink or loud on my eyes. They are totally appropriate for work or the day time and you can layer them on more heavily or with a wet brush to play them up for night time. I also that they have some shimmer but are not obnoxiously sparkly like some shadows are. The texture is unlike any eye shadow I've tried...so smooth and velvety. They don't crease on me at all, even without a primer and they are very long lasting. They blend unlike any other shadow I've ever seen. I do think that 18$ is a little steep to pay for almost any eyeshadow and that was what was stopping me until I discovered that if you buy them directly from the website, they are often marked down drastically.
Lorac has recently become my favorite makeup brand and their eye shadows are part of the reason why. They're creamy, soft, buttery - it's like applying cashmere to your lids. They're highly pigmented and stay in place - for me anyway - with or without primer. Definitely a brand I'll buy again and again.
The texture of Lorac's eyeshadows is unparalleled! They are more buttery than Stila and as pigmented as Mac, but I think you do need to wear a base for the color to last. I love Celebutante, a teal that is slightly bluer dupe of Mac's Parrot; Delight, a bright lavender/violet that is similar to Mac's Stars n Rockets; Green Room, an ultra pigmented dark shimmery green; and Glamorous, a vibrant peach/gold/orange shade that looks amazing on my (lighter than) NC42 skin. The screw top jar isn't the greatest, but the e/s are pretty easy to depot and they fit in Mac palettes. Lorac e/s don't get a lot of buzz, but they should - the colors are sophisticated, extremely pigmented, and so smooth!
