Eye Majic: Sweep on Eyeshadow Review

Posted on October 29, 2012March 30, 2020 by Elaine

            I love eye shadow – I think it’s fun to play with, and compliments every outfit and situation imaginable. I, personally, have tons of different colours and palettes – all of which can be blended together to create different colours and patterns. So when Eye Majic emailed to describe their new innovation – a heat transferred, press-on eye shadow, I was intrigued. But does it work?

Product: Eye Majic Applicators by Majic Beauty
Cost: 
  • 2 Pair Box – $2.49
  • 5 Pair Box – $5.75
  • 10 Pair Box – $10.95

Available: Online here.

Initial Thoughts: I’m intrigued about the concept of swipe on eye shadows, but I’m curious as to how well it can work. The idea of swiping it on appeals to the convenience side of make-up, but how does it look?

What It Claims: “…takes all the guesswork out of applying eye shadow; perfect, precise, make-up artist quality eyes’

How to Apply: There is a quick, three step process to applying the eye shadows.
  1. Closing your eyelid, press firmly to eye for approximately 4 seconds.
  2. Slide the applicator across the eyelid, firmly and with enough pressure to transfer colour.
  3. If necessary, using the end of the applicator, blend and contour the colour. Any errors in application can be also corrected this way.

Review: I ended up having a ‘ladies night’ at my house, and a couple of girlfriends and I tried out a few of the samples. They’re definitely different. The colour transfers well enough, you do only need about 4 to 5 seconds of pressure for the colour to transfer off of the applicator. However, it was found that sometimes the lines between colours could be ‘too harsh’, with almost zero transition of colour. That being said, with a little bit of blending, this problem can go away.

My friend Laura tried out the brown smoky eyeshade. Personally, it was my favourite of the three. With a little bit of blending, it could be perfect for a night out or a day in the office.

My friend Alessandra tried out the green eyeshade. The green was very harsh and didn’t transfer as well onto the skin as the brown shade did. Again, with a little blending, it was manageable.

I ended up trying out the leopard prints ones. They actually transferred the best onto the eyelid, and the leopard spots truly showed up onto your eyelids. Not totally appropriate for the office, but it’s a great way to showcase individuality on those nights on the town, or on Halloween! It could compliment anyone’s cat-themed costume (Catwoman, anyone?)

Colour Choices: See below for a list of colours available! There are so many to choose from.

Conclusion: These are fun experiments, but I can’t say that they save you time. After you fix any mistakes, or blend in the colours, it’s probably the same equivalent of time you would spend applying the colours on your own. I would say these are fun for young girls experimenting with eye colours, or for people looking to experiment with new colours without the permanency of purchasing an entirely new eye shadow colour palette. Because of colours are generally inexpensive, I would say they are fun additions to any makeup collection.

  • Trying out @fentyskin’s Cookies & Clean Detox Face Mask! I love a good mask, and goodness knows my skin needs a bit of help nowadays! ➡️This is one of the products I featured in my blog post about Black-owned beauty brands. I love that it’s not too drying, makes my skin feel refreshed, is cruelty-free, and is part of the Clean at Sephora collection!

  • Fresh nails for Spring! This was my first time getting a dip powder mani. It was so interesting! Apparently it’ll last about 3-4 weeks. I like that I didn’t have to cure the nails with a UV lamp, and that there was less filing than with biogel. I decided not to go with extensions today, but that’s an option as well. So far I’m a fan! Do you prefer shellac, bio-gel, dip, or natural nails? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #springmani #dippowdernails #dipmanicure #toronto #torontonails #torontopr #dipnails #nailinspo #bluenails #shortnails #opidippowder #organicnailbar #organicnailbarto #kingwest #freshnails #nailstagram #simplenails #nailsalon

  • I got Botox! (Technically, I got Nuceiva, which is a different brand of neuromodulator, but does the same thing) I’ve been feeling uncomfortable with the fine lines on my forehead, and wanted to try out neuromodulators! It was easier and much less painful than I anticipated, but definitely was a bit of an emotional journey. ➡️ I got 24 units during this visit, at a cost of $11 each. (Cost will vary depending on brand of neuromodulator, the clinic you choose, and the person who does the treatment) ➡️ This treatment will probably last around 3 months, and then will
