Guest Review: DuWop Shadow Lift
What They Say: "With revolutionary anti-aging and skin perfecting ingredients, gorgeous pigment, and fine shimmer, Shadowlift helps firm the eyelid and provides a creamy, shimmery, finish with beautiful color."
Jeannette's Experience: I've never used another anti-aging eyeshadow, so this was something I was anxious to try. Duwop's Shadow Lift eyeshadow claims to help firm the eyelid and provide a creamy, shimmery finish, using the cutting edge anti-aging ingredients with the finest moisturizers and shimmery pigment. Their formula includes anti-oxidants, including vitamins E and C, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and skin tightening ingredients such as marine collagen which boost collagen production and firm the skin to provide instant tightening.
I am in my early 50's and have been using an eye primer that tightens and firms the eyelid so I was ready to try this without my primer to see what it would do. It comes in 4 basics shades and I tried a shimmery gray called "Sun Tide".
Just one small pump of this liquid shadow does it. After applying to lid and crease I was a little concerned because the color was so intense. I like using softer shades now that I'm older. After a few minutes the color toned down to a soft shimmer. So loved that, and not to much shimmer either!! My eyelids are always hot in the morning and puffy. Upon application there was a slight cooling for me. That is not one of the things they say it does, but I noticed that. I also noticed about 10 minutes later that the swelling on my eyelids diminished. It worked as well as my eye primer but with the convenience of one step with color.
The color stayed soft and lasted all day for me. With all the good ingredients plus moisturizing, there has to be long term benefits. It is hard to find something that you can put on your eyelid that is also anti-aging that also works as an eyeshadow! Eye make-up that is anti-aging too? I think women who are looking to fight the signs of aging will be pleased with this product!
Retail Price: $24.50 (at duwop.com)
