Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Eyeshadow Pencil in Amber Haze

So after being so impressed with Charlotte's magic foundation, I decided to have a bit of nosey around what else tickled my face.

I decided to pick up the Colour Chameleon Eyeshadow Pencil in Amber Haze. 

Amber Haze  is a deep amber bronze shimmery eyeshadow pencil with a creamy texture. Its a very rich and pigment colour, which applies very softly and does not pull or tug at your eyes. It sets very quickly, so blending is time limited to around 30 seconds.

On application, it sets very quickly, so blending time is limited to around 15-20 seconds. Personally, my preferred method of blending is with a fluffy eyeshadow brush (mac 217) rather than fingers otherwise it can get quite difficult to blend and begin to look patchy and messy. 

I have been wearing this colour on its own during the day. Even though it has been marketed as a product for the evening, for me I prefer to wear it as a daytime, effortless smokey eye. It compliments my brown eyes perfectly. I am always in a rush in the mornings and this has been the perfect and effortless go to pencil. The colour is buildable and the more layers applied, the more intense it becomes.

The lasting power is a solid 8 hours. It looks just as good at the end of the day as it did at the beginning. However, it will begin to crease if a primer is not applied first - depends on how oily your eyelids are.

I have read a lot of mixed review regarding the colour chameleons, however I am really enjoying my one. I love the easy and quick application, as well as the longevity and the fact that I only need this one product to create a smokey eye. 

The only issue I have is that you have to purchase a Charlotte Tilbury sharpener to sharpen the damn thing, which is annoying. I wouldn't dare use another sharpener - i will probably butcher it!

Have you tried any colours?

I hope you are all well!
