Zoeva EyeSwipes Review

[unpaid/sample] I love an eye crayon and the new Zoeva EyeSwipes (careful how you say that after a gin) are really rather lovely. I like the fact they’re illuminated neutrals – anyone can wear these and make their eyes look more vibrant and awake. They’re two-in-one liner-shadows so you can either do your whole lid or just line – or both, if you have more than one shade.

There are eight shades running through from rose gold to a deep chocolate (and a beautiful ‘Greek Olive’ green). They’re literally the easiest things in the world to apply.

In the picture above, from left to right: Lucky Amber, Happy Heather and Greek Olive.

Here they are swatched – bottom to top is: Lucky Amber, Happy Heather and Greek Olive.

On my left eye I’m wearing Happy Heather and on my right I’m wearing Lucky Amber (actually, my favourite). I put them to the test for the whole day (truthfully, I removed Happy Heather and replaced it with Lucky Amber so I was matching!) finding that they needed refreshing mid-way through the day. I think it will really depend so much on how oily your lids are – I’d advise that if you are really oily, these are not for you unless you are prepared to prime first (which takes away the spontaneity of just swiping and going..). The texture is very beautiful and glidey but that texture requires a bit more oil than say, a matte product. If you’re not, or you’re happy to prime, I’d recommend for days when you want to look effortlessly brighter. They’re £17 each HERE.
