Eyeshadow Review: Revlon Molten Metal Liquid Shadow

I love liquid shadows, especially anything sparkly. Is that predictable of me? Oh, well. Revlon debuted this product with their other Limited Edition shimmery lip toppings and shadows, so I picked up Molten Metal in Gold Digger #550. The tip is fabric and slides the shadow on comfortably but visibly. The product goes on smooth and dries neatly, and is easy to alter with a Q-tip and water so the edges are clean.

My only complaint about this shadow is that the shade isn’t quite as intense as I thought the name “Molten Metal” suggested; I was hoping for a MAC-level deposit of extreme pigment. The result may be even better, though; I can wear it during the day to add some highlight to my look without feeling like a drag queen, and the shine factor is massive. And the name “Gold Digger” is at least undebatable; the color is nothing but gold with no hint of copper or bronze.

The verdict: 8/10

I no longer wear my 70s-style brown halter dress without this baby applied all the way from lashline to brow!

Revlon Molten Metal Liquid Shadow sells at Drugstore.com for $11.52.

  • That's a super sexy look. I wonder if the shadow blends well though. Seems like it could get edgy - not good edgy, just seamy.

    • All liquid shadow can run into that issue, Sam, but you can always blend the edges with a Q-tip, a little concealer, or a pat of eyeshadow in an intermediate color.
