Pur Eye Polish Eyeshadows
Today I wanted to share the Pur Eye Polish Eyeshadows with you. This is touted as a new all-in-one formula that can be worn on its own for a metallic eyeshadow look or as an primer to intensify your other eyeshadows. One of the things I love about this line is that it’s eye brightening. The formula has light-reflecting properties that are flattering.

As you well know, I have oily, hooded eyes. Despite that, I tried wearing these eyeshadows on their own, without primer. On my eyes without primer, they creased and wore off after a few hours. Better than many others I’ve tried, but I still would not wear them without eyeshadow primer. With primer, they did really well! And they also look nice as a base for other eyeshadows. If you don’t have oily, hooded eyes like me, these might work well for you without primer.
I am absolutely not a fan of the packaging. I do not like the sponge / cushion stuff inside. I would rather have something more like a traditional paint pot. I do like that each color comes with its own silicone applicator.
I do really like the formula and pigmentation. I like that it feels so thin and lightweight once applied. I also appreciate the eye brightening formula. It’s really gorgeous.
For the most part, these are neutral colors that are meant to enhance your eye color. They’re not bright and flashy. They have excellent pigmentation. The texture is wet and I find it’s best to apply a thin coat with your finger tips. You can use a brush to blend out the edges.
What do you think of Pur Eye Polish eyeshadows?
I really like the lighter shades Cashmere and Satin. Although, I don’t think I’d like the applicator either. It just seems weird to me. They sound like they’d be good bases for powder shadows. 🙂
Yeah the applicator is a bit strange!
These are pricey for a product they suggest be used within 6 months of opening.
Oooh, good catch! I didn’t see anything about 6 months!
The shades are lovely, but my oily eyelids have problems with creams even when I wear primer. I’ll probably pass on these, but I want to see your full review first.
I find the creams that work best are like the UD 24/7 eyeshadow pencils, the Darling Girl liquid eyeshadows and the Silk Naturals ones. When I bought them, the MAC Paint Pots were awesome. Oh! The NARS Eye Paints are amazing. They’re more like a gel formula.
The UD eyeshadow pencils only work as liners for me. I haven’t tried the others you mention. I’ve never tried a liquid shadow, so I might check out the Darling Girl ones. Maybelline Color Tattoos work great, but I find some of them hard to work with.
These look so beautiful, especially “velvet”, but I don’t think there’s a single one I wouldn’t wear. As someone who also has oily eyelids, the primer comment is much appreciated!
No problem!
