NYX's Cream Eyeshadows are hit or miss, and sadly I found Olive Branch to be a miss. I was really excited about this golden green, but I found it hard (impossible?) to get an even application. Patchy city, is all I can say. I actually thought I'd gotten good coverage until I looked at the eye shot and saw bald spots. Sadness. Even my arm swatches were patchy unless heavily layered, and trying to sheer it out was a no go.
Previously, I've reviewed
Suede, Chocolate, Aqua, and Pinky Beige and these performed much better in comparison to Olive Branch. These are billed as being water resistant but they are not - they wash away easily, no makeup remover required.
They are relatively inexpensive at about $5 each, but given Olive Branches application issues, that was $5 down the drain for me. Too bad, as it's a gorgeous color.
