Experience Using Product
Oxford is a blue-grey eyeshadow. In the pan it is more on the blue side, but when applied to to your eyelids more of the grey comes out (although it is still mostly blue, in my opinion). The eye shadow has a fine shimmer to it; It’s a half-n-half mix of shimmer and matte. I was really hoping for the eye shadow shade to be more on the grey side than the blue.
This eye shadow is very powdery - it kicks up a fair bit of dust when you swipe your brush across it. It has a tendency to look chalky as well.
I’ve only worn this eye shadow on without a base once; I prefer to wear it with either a grey base, or a shimmery white base.
Would I Re-Purchase, Recommend, or Reject
I had higher hopes for this eye shadow than what was delivered. Like I said, I really wanted to be more grey than blue. Even though I have blue eyes, I find blue eye shadow harder to work with because I have pale skin - it makes me look bruised.
I think this eye shadow could be a hit or a miss for you, depending on what you are looking for out of this eye shadow color. If you want a murky pale blue - this will work for you.
Unfortunately, I do not recommend this product to you. I don’t think that most people will like this color. It bothers me that I have to write this because I love CARGO as a brand, but I have to be honest about this color of eye shadow.
