Right, well.. wow! The Stila Magnificent Metal Foil shadows are absolutely beyond my expectations – I think they’re the most shiny eye shades I’ve ever come across in my life.
This is Stila Magnificent Metal in Dusty Rose – I think it got shaken up a bit on its journey here but it doesn’t matter at all.

… you see this! I took this picture under a light so you can get the full on effect.
You add a drop of the Stay All Day primer which is a clear liquid into the tin provided. Then blend with the Foil formula until you have the intensity you like. What’s great about these is that you can wear them quite gentle or go absolutely all out. The formula itself is quite hard to describe.. it is foil.. there are little slivers of actual foil, but a lot of shimmer as well..it’s a little flaky in texture until it hits the primer then it smooths out like a dream.
Here’s how they look under a slightly warm light…
And this is in (low) daylight. Any way you look at it you are going to shine!
They’re already available on the Sephora US site and will be coming to the UK in due course. I’ll alert you as soon as I know when. The line up has 12 shades (check out Metallic Emerald).

Wow they are really beautiful! Do you feel they are wearable or feel gritty at all?
not at all gritty.. (mind you have only tested on arm so far)

OMG!! They look stunning!!! I’m wondering how log will they last on the eyelid…
Not the biggest fan of shimmery but these I would actually buy and wear! So incredibly pigmented. Going to have to check these out. Great review.x

I have the copper and it has my vote for best new eyeshadow. It lasts all day on me with zero drop down. Works beautifully as a liner too. I do think they are really expensive though.
These look amazing!!! Perfect for the festive season
These look beautiful – I love the look of the rose gold one for Xmas and nights out.
I’ve never seen anything like this before! They look so cool x

I didn’t think I would be drawn to these but OMG!
Wow…these eye shadows are so pretty & shimmery.
Super great for a party.
I wonder whether will they have it Malaysia?
These ones are great!!! Hard to believe eyeshadows can be so shimmery.
Wow these look amazing! Definitely a must for party season – thanks for sharing!!
These look amazing!! They’d be perfect for Christmas and NYE parties!! (Yes, I’m thinking that far ahead already)
Looks beautifully dramatic without being tacky – I was worried these were going to be too shiny and in horrible colours. Look amazing!

These look incredible!
I went to Sephora yesterday and grabbed Kitten. I was bummed they didn’t have the Rose Gold shade you swatched. Actually they only had 5 colors. Maybe there will be more coming! I really think they need to add a purple. I swatched Merlot, which was a gorgeous burgundy. 🙂
Any news on when these are coming to the UK please let us know. x
These are now on stila.co.uk
