I\u2019ve been taken\naback time and again by the quality and allure of natural makeup products on\noffer these days. For some unexplainable reason, I\u2019ve also been quite surprised\nby the actual size of my makeup bag. Am I really using <em>this many<\/em> products on a daily basis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not\nthat there\u2019s anything wrong with using many products, as they all bring me\ngenuine joy, and putting on my makeup never feels like a chore.

And why not use it every day! Instead of aiming to attract praise or second looks, I use it as a dash of colour to spice up my<em> look<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><br><em>Then why make the effort and fiddle around with eyeshadow that\u2019s not even meant to be noticed?

The post came out in August 2012, which makes it easy to work out how many years I\u2019ve been using the MAC product on a regular basis. In other words, there has to be something about it \u2013 I\u2019ve bought my fair share. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve managed to completely finish that many eye shadows over the years though&#8230;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccosmetics.com\/product\/13840\/1573\/products\/makeup\/eyes\/eyeshadow\/pro-longwear-paint-pot#!\/shade\/Groundwork\">The shade&nbsp;<em>Groundwork<\/em><\/a> is the perfect <em>match<\/em>&nbsp;for my skin tone. The brownish grey with a hint of purple is a slightly more intense version of the colour of my own eyelid.&nbsp; It\u2019s like shadow in a jar! And I don\u2019t seem to be the only one in the fan club \u2013 I\u2019ve seen plenty of beauty columns praising the product through the years. The shade has a faint pearliness about it without glimmering on the eyelid \u2013 I bet that\u2019s the reason the colour blends in and sets so perfectly.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People either love or hate cream eyeshadow. I\u2019m a fervent friend, at least when wanting to apply a single elegant shade on my eyelids. Yes: cream eyeshadows have a habit of getting stuck in the folds of the eyelid during the course of the day. I don\u2019t get too stressed about it \u2013 if I notice it\u2019s happened, I simply wipe the eyeshadow back into place with my fingertip. If you can\u2019t quite bring yourself to feeling so <em>reckless<\/em>, cream eyeshadow isn\u2019t probably your thing. But in that case, you might just be missing out on the perks though: the pretty, delicate glow and the ease of not necessarily even needing to use a brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_mac-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_mac-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_mac-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_mac-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_mac-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_mac-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_mac.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It may depend on the person, but in my case the MAC eyeshadow doesn\u2019t tend to even clump. The silky, creamy texture blends in flawlessly, dries without shrinking or flaking, and stays put rather immaculately. And even if it did clump <em>(sometimes skin just gets greasier than at other times\u2026)<\/em>, it wouldn\u2019t look that bad, as the shade is so close to my skin tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes I\u2019ll wear this eyeshadow even without mascara, which shows how genius the shade actually is. Is she wearing makeup or not? Not many can be sure! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_molemmat-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_molemmat-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_molemmat-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_molemmat-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_molemmat-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_molemmat-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_molemmat.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The ingredients in this particular jar aren\u2019t the worst out there, but I\u2019m on a quest to turn my makeup bag mostly natural.

Placed side by side in their containers, the difference looks starker than when comparing smeared on the back of the hand. And the difference is hardly noticeable when applied as a thin layer on the eyelids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_kw-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_kw-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_kw-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_kw-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_kw-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_kw-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_kw.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if\nthe shades are almost identical, there\u2019s a difference in texture. Where the MAC\neyeshadow glides from the container onto the fingertip, the Kjaer Weis eyeshadow\ntakes some rubbing. The natural version has a drier and slightly waxier\nconsistency. Comparing side by side makes you <em>sort of<\/em> see why silicone compounds were added to cosmetics in the\nfirst place. The Kjaer Weis version is probably the best possible naturally\nmade alternative though: a runnier or creamier consistency would be likely to\nmake it gather in the creases of the eyelids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_bg-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_bg-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_bg-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_bg-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_bg-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_bg-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_bg.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The MAC eyeshadow could be easily applied with the fingertip, whereas it\u2019s worth pressing the Kjaer Weis product gently into place. A thin layer stays put nicely, blends in beautifully \u00ad\u2013 and looks at least as flattering as its predecessor.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And how pretty it is! The luxurious Kjaer Weis packaging is in a class of its own. And the container is refillable, which makes sense considering it\u2019s a product that&#8217;s likely to get one hooked for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Verdict:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m ready to make the Kjaer Weis eyeshadow a permanent addition to my makeup bag! I might reminisce on the extraordinary glide of the MAC version, but life is all about choices \u00ad\u00ad\u2013 and I\u2019d rather opt for the one with natural ingredients. The Kjaer Weis eyeshadow is by no means impossible to blend in \u00ad\u2013 it is a cream eyeshadow to reckon with, and the compound prioritises durability over first impressions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this eyeshadow will retain the same level of creaminess and characteristics also in the future. The packaging size (2 g) is smaller than the MAC eye shadow (5 g), which I see as a good thing: I\u2019m more likely to finish the product before it turns into a breeding ground for bacteria <em>(yuk, one that\u2019s applied onto the eyelids!) <\/em>or dries up. The Kjaer Weis eye shadow comes with the promise of a 12-month shelf life after opening \u00ad\u2013 used almost every day this shouldn\u2019t be a problem! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_close-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_close-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_close-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_close-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_close-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_close-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/luomarit_swatch_close.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> MAC Cosmetics <em>Groundwork in<\/em> the foreground, Kjaer Weis <em>Gorgeous<\/em> further back.  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kjaer Weis cream eyeshadow is currently limited to four shades, so if the browny grey <em>taupe<\/em> shade doesn\u2019t work for your skin tone, you\u2019ll have to wait for another nude shade for a while longer. I\u2019ve also tested the label\u2019s shade <em>Alluring<\/em> that glimmers in hues of bronze and gold, and is set to be the crowning glory to a glowy summery makeup look. Although it did do the trick also throughout the Christmas party season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If cream eyeshadow isn\u2019t your thing, it\u2019s worth searching for a similar shade of brownish grey with a hint of purple among traditional eyeshadows on offer. In that case, use a larger and softer eyeshadow brush to create a gentle shadow reminiscent of the result you\u2019d get with a cream eyeshadow, avoiding it looking like a block of colour.
