Ellis Faas Milky eyes- review, swatches & EOTD

It's been quite long since I've reviewed an Ellis Faas product. This brand is not available in India but is purchased online by many Indian ladies, who are always keen to know about new arrival of this brand. Honestly speaking, I was really amazed when I first used Ellis Eye Shadow because I never used such an eye shadow ever, but after using them in two-three shades, I'm now crazy about their eye shadows. Today I'm going to review another exciting  eye shadow from Ellis Faas.

Ellis Faas E203 Milky Eyes

Ellis Faas E203 Milky Eyes is a cream-to-powder eye shadow formula.


What Ellis Faas says...

With its liquid consistency, these innovative and long lasting eye shadows transform into a matte powder upon application with the ELLIS FAAS signature pen. ELLIS FAAS eye shadow leaves a smooth finish and will not build up in eyelid creases, making it suitable for all skin types. Liquid to powder eye shadow is also ideal for women who are sensitive to traditional powdered eye shadow, including contact lens wearers.
With a more translucent texture than Creamy Eyes, and a deeper, more vivid palette, ELLIS FAAS Milky Eyes can be used as a colour stain or a subtle wash.

Shades

Ellis Faas Milky eyes is available in & shades.
The one i'm reviewing is E203 which is a dark bluish purple color, very beautiful & gives a deep looks to the eyes! Has slight shimmers in it.


How to use

For a soft and sophisticated look, use the specifically designed ELLIS FAAS Milky Eyes sponge applicator to apply Milky Eyes all over the eyelid, then fade it with the fingertips. For more intense colour, simply re-apply a second layer of Milky Eyes. Ellis particularly likes applying Milky Eyes across the lid and then intensifying the colour in a second layer close to the lashes.

Pair Creamy Eyes and Milky Eyes for a dramatic look: First use Creamy Eyes for shape, then add Milky Eyes for a sheen of colour. 
In the mirror of my own experience

I first used their Eye shadow when I used my Ellis Faas Winter Set, in which there were two shadows included with. Trust me, I have become crazy about their eye shadow since then. Though I'll try to write my best about it but still I'm not sure, I'm able to describe entirely how fantastic this shadow is.

Packaging


I'm sure by now, everyone must be aware about the beautiful, compact packaging of Ellis faas products. Even their eye products come in the signature Ellis Faas bullet shaped pens. The only thing is that if the shadow comes out in excess amount, it tends to get wasted. Therefore, I prefer using an eye brush rather than the one attached.

Texture


The texture is thick, smooth, & feels velvety while applying. the shadow glides on very smoothly on the lids giving a beautiful, even effect. On applying the shadow it is creamy but after a while it sets in, in a perfect way! Does not crease at all, which is really amazing!

Pigmentation

Super pigmented, gives the perfect shade effect in just one go! In other words, i can say that it's one of the most pigmented eyeshadow I've ever used!


Application

The application is very easy. I don't use the brush provided but take out some of it on the brush & then use another eye brush to keep my application & amount of product used under control. One thing you need to remember is to blend it quickly after applying as it tends to set in very quickly.

Effect

Gives a gorgeous effect to the eyes. After applying if you blend it skilfully then you'll be amazed by the effect it gives. initially a creamy texture eyeshadow sets in to become even better than a powdery one & does not crease at all!! The color and texture stay true in every weather until you attack it with a cleanser or eye makeup remover.So it'll be a best choice when you know that you are not going to get a moment to retouch your eye makeup.The best part is that it's quite light weight too & you can feel the beautiful effect of this shadow; collecting praises for yourself, thanks to Ellis faas :)

Lasting power

The lasting power is just fabulous. It can last for the whole day on my lids & maybe slightly less on oilier ones, that too without primer!!

Good points

Soft and velvety texture.
glides on the lids like silk
Applies like a cream shadow and sets like a high class powder shadow.
Once it sets, and dries it doesn't move, crease, crumble, fall out or fade.
Pigmentation is superb.
It gives a wonderful effect on the eyes.
Never creases at all.
Lasting power is incredible.

Bad points

The only problem is its brush tipped packaging, due to which the product can get wasted at times.

Finally...

I'm so much impressed with this shadow that I would love to buy all shades of Ellis eyes!!! these shadows are just perfect....they have everything in them, & if one likes cream eyeshadows, nothing can be better than this, I would say that they can easily take over powder shadows as well!!!!
