Shadow Eyez 12 HR Wear Eyeshadow Pencil

Because I love the convenient of eyeshadow in pencil or stick form, I deciding to add some addiction to my milani eyeshadow pencil in espresso line. after being blown away by how perfect the shade cafe au lait is I’m confident about getting this one. Unfortunately this shade not as good as the cafe au lait. I don’t know why, but if i speculate maybe because the two have a different finishes, this espresso line is more matte and cafe au lait is satin with shimmer. Or maybe I’m just unlucky and getting a bad batch. Because from the first time I got it this espresso line already hard to apply and need some creamy eyeshadow base to apply smoothly on my lid. and I find that this shade is also very hard to blend even with my hand. So I need to adding it little by little and sheering it out between each application to achieve my desirable blend so it will not look too harsh. The colour itself is basic dark brown colour, very dupable - nix also had a similar shade called “dark brown” and it’s more creamier and easier to work with and to find in nyx counter.
