Eyeshadows are like people or books. They can look utterly gorgeous on the outside, but ultimately, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
ck Calvin Klein Tempting Glance Intense Eyeshadow gets an “A” for packaging. I bought this single shade eyeshadow in “Chameleon,” a pale, beigey-gold color, that comes in a super-slick compact with a built-in mirror.
When first applied, this eyeshadow was a little sparkly — but still very pretty and wearable. Within about twenty minutes, the finish settled down into more of a smooth, seductive sheen that I really liked…it’s just too bad that it didn’t last.
Within 3-4 hours, this eyeshadow started to fade and crease. Within six hours, it was pretty much gone.
An eye primer will, of course, help extend the wear of this eyeshadow. But at $16 for a single shade, an eyeshadow should simply perform better than this one did.
Pretty packaging aside, I’m disappointed enough with this product that I wouldn’t buy it again.
Have you tried ck Calvin Klein Tempting Glance Intense Eyeshadow yet? What did you think of it?

Thanks for this review, it was very useful for me, since I was going to buy this product. Now, I understand, it is better to forget about it. I have the same problem with most eye-shadows: huge price and no effect.

You’re welcome! When it comes to eyeshadow, I think that you generally get what you pay for — though there are certainly exceptions (like this eyeshadow by Calvin Klein).

I actually liked CK eyeshadows, I used them with UDPP, and they lasted me 16 hours. I applied it at 7 am and took my makeup off at 11-12ish, and it was still there intact. I also liked the face that they are extremely blendable, I bought them in Darkened Green, Best Brown, Azure, Gold Lame, Moonstone, Sandstone I really liked the colors, and they blended in flawlessly:)

Wow! We had totally different experiences with this eyeshadow!
I used my CK eyeshadow by itself and with Laura Geller Eye Spackle…which did extend the wear of this shadow for about 2-3 hours.
And as for blendability…it was alright, but I found it to be just a little bit gritty. I just wasn’t “wowed” by it, lol
Anyway, thank you for sharing your opinion of it!
