Proseasy to blend, smudgable, long-lasting, unique
This is a revolutionary product. Goes on easier than any powder or creme shadow I've ever used, blends beautifully and easily, is comfortable, and lasts until you take it off. One tap on my brush is enough to cover my entire eye. I have 4 colors: 2 (lust red - which is actually more of a deep charcoal with very subtle red highlights and the most matte of my colors), 3 (Purpura, Nordstrom does not sell this color - purple with slight gold shimmer), 6 (Khaki Pulse, khaki with gold highlights, high shimmer, looks great with my hazel eyes), and 15 (Copper/Black Grey - beautiful copper with subtle black highlights, high shimmer, this is my favorite). I have used Makeup Forever's Aqua waterproof creme eyeshadows and considered that product the best waterproof shadow on the market until trying Armani's Eyes To Kill Intense Silk. The downside: expensive; but as I mentioned above, just takes a little product to cover your entire eyelid; and some of the product does fall onto my nose and cheekbone with application, but I use a light dusting of face powder on this area before applying and the eyeshadow brushes off). This is a fairly high shimmer product (hence the name "Intense") but I wear these colors to work in a fairly conservative office environment. I hope Armani comes out with more colors, this is an incredible product.
This eyeshadow is beautiful. Sheer and silky, it adds a beautiful natural gleam to your lids. Lovely for holiday or summer on the beach. You can make it as soft or bold as you like. Very fine particles, not chunky makes the gold color classy and sophisticated instead of crass and showy. Very refined and lovely.

I have #1,#3,#19, and #13. They're all beautiful shades, blast of blue being my favorite. The real winner in my opinion here is #13, which is the blackest black I've ever seen. For all you south asian and middle eastern women out there, the bus stops at #13. I've been on a search to find the blackest of black kohl liners and there are a few that are exceptional quality out there but the eyes to kill is versatile and has the most amazing texture you'll ever encounter in my opinion. I also recently bought #19, which is the gold and silver mixture. It pulls a more silver tone rather than gold. It's not an intense silver color but I was looking for more of a true mixture of the 2 colors. I'll probably try layering it over a gold base to see if I can pull out the gold tones.

I got the purple color. It's a good line for people not into eye makeup. The gold with purple went on like I had actually spent time putting different colors on. But it was so simple to just put one color on. It was longer lasting then what I have tried in the past as well.
