L'oreal's Infallible Eyeshadow in Burning Black is described as "a burning, incandescent black". Does not tell much about the colour but it is a dark burgundy with specks of red glitter.
L'oreal
claim the Infallible Eyeshadows to be "Ultra-intense colour, up to 24
hour long-lasting hold and velvety soft feel.", "a hybrid powder
texture, a luxuriously creamy eye shadow. Intense colour
in just a stroke. The formula is both water resistant and smudge
resistant and does not run into fine lines around the eyes."
Fortunately,
this is a product which lives up to its claims... for the most part.
Not too sure about it being water resistant and I am pretty sure it's
not smudge resistant. It has a very interesting texture - a loosely
pressed eyeshadow (not as loose as pigment), feels really creamy and
smooth. It adheres well, very pigmented and easy to blend. It comes with
a stopper/conserver which helps to prevent the eyeshadow from breaking
loose and getting messy.
Here's a heavy swatch:
Not sure about it being able to last as long as 24 hours but it does last more than at least 8 hours, without creasing or fading. The pictures below show my makeup after a long day out. My camera ran out of battery so I couldn't take a picture when I did the makeup in the beginning. I took pictures of it only when I got home that night. My blusher and lipstick were already gone by then but the eye makeup stayed put.
