Sunday Riley's Prismasilk Eye Color Eye Shadows come in 32 shades ranging in finishes from mattes to satins to shimmers, and finally to vibrant metallics (click here to see my overview and preliminary review from the November 2011 launch). All of the shades are gorgeously pigmented and ultra-finely milled making them exquisite to the touch. In fact, they are so soft and creamy that you will be tempted to apply them with your fingers! This luxurious formula is long-wearing and highly pigmented which is always a winning combination. These shadows are formulated to be worn wet or dry, alone or blended, and with or without a primer. They also work beautifully as eye liners- which I have found work best when applied wet rather than dry.


Sunday Riley uses advanced Air-Milling technology which is credited for creating this ultra-fine luxurious texture. Air-milling evenly disperses the pigment throughout the entire shadow ensuring absolute consistency in every single application from the first use through the last one at the bottom of the pan. This alone makes a super concentrated single-stroke application- so you won't find a patchy, chalky, or inconsistent shadow anywhere in the Sunday Riley Eye Color range. The additional use of micronized spherical pigments create long wearing color that is always effortless to apply.
In an effort to provide you will the most accurate view of all of the Sunday Riley Prismasilk Eye Color Eye Shadows- I decided to break this into several posts. Each post will consist of a 4-6 eyeshadows following each row in the display case. This is the order selected by Sunday herself- so I thought that there was some wisdom in presenting it as it would be viewed at Barneys. Click on photos to enlarge.

    1. Hi Jackie! You are so very welcome! I'm so glad that you find these so helpful-- that's what I was hoping to achieve! The two colors you have are SOOOOOO gorgeous! Oh just you wait-- I swatched all of the lipsticks and will be posting them this week-- they are really lovely!

  2. Pot of Gold gets so much use from me. I love it with greens and with browns. Solstice is a little too red on my eyes so it doesn't get much love actually. I might have to put Desert Sunset in my favorites at Dermstore now since that's how you get a discount at dermstore.

    1. Pot of Gold is divine, Marcia. Your review is what made me fall in love with that color! I still haven't gotten it, but no doubt will! Desert Sunset is really lovely. Thanks for the tip on the Dermstore-- I didn't know that-- I have never ordered from them, but it looks like that is about to change! I think that Solstice is too red for me as well-- anything too red around my eyes usually looks bad.
