Tarina Tarantino: Eye Dream Highlight Duo Review

I picked up Tarina Tarantino's Eye Dream Highlight Duo in Mr. Gold Mr. Silver during its final run at Sephora. I debated between the 4 duos available and finally settled on gold and silver because I believed they would be the most versatile shades. As the name implies, I wanted these colors more for their highlighting purposes than as eyeshadows.

 

What it is: A collection of superb shadow duos that highlight the eye area for fantastical glowing effects.

What it does: These shadows deliver a gorgeous pearlized metallic finish to the eye. The reflective properties of diamond dust and micro-fine platinum powder diffuse light, creating a luminous soft focus effect. Plus, each shadow's smooth texture blends easily and feels silky soft on the skin.

The two toned palette comes in a sleek silver plastic compact with a mirror. There is a generous amount of product. It is almost as big as the Dollskin Cream Blush and Pressed Sparklicity duo.

The duo itself is richly pigmented. The colors are true gold and true silver. Like the Dollskin Blush, the texture is almost creamy. The application glides on effortlessly. It is easy to smudge and blend too.

I won't be using it as a traditional eyeshadow so I can't comment too much on that aspect. However, I use it for highlighting areas of the face. A little silver in the corner of the eyes or on the cheekbones. It can be used carefully and sparingly as a liner too. 

Overall, it's a cute and fun item to have, especially if you're looking for the right gold or silver tones.
