Each box of these contains 30 shields in a slight-crescent shape to fit perfectly under the eyes. The box of 30 retails for $9.99, which I think is fairly affordable.
The shields themselves have a cotton-pad like texture, but are very thin (as opposed to a fluffy cotton pad). Perfect for catching fallout.
As you can see below, the back of each shield is entirely adhesive, and has different strips so you can choose how much adhesion you use. I've found I only need to use the top two little corners for a good hold on my skin, but you can peel off whichever parts you like!
To conserve these, I like to use one under one eye, then use that same shield under the other eye as well. The adhesion is pretty strong, so I can easily get multiple sticks out of it.
Pretty cool, huh? You can find these on several beauty websites, as well as ShadowShields.com and Amazon. I think this is especially perfect for any makeup artists out there to use on clients... a little more professional than something like tape!

Lovely! i know that they use that for Black Swan makeup! :D
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! Its a genius idea ! :)

That's a great idea! Although I don't think I'd spend money on them!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea, but tissue does fine for me and saves loads of money. When you use eye-shadow every day sometimes twice even three times a day, it's quite expensive! Nice Blog though :)

These are such a brilliant idea! I'm so glad they're available on Amazon so I can get them :) xx
ReplyDeleteNice idea, but a loose powder under my eyes works just fine & it's cheaper :)
ReplyDeleteCool idea! I actually don't have a problem with fallout that often, but this would be great for people who have that problem!
ReplyDeleteNice! I usually brush some powder under eye area/check, so those fallouts can be easily brush off when I'm done with eye makeup! that's even cheaper..! you should try it!

That's a pretty cool idea! Thanks for sharing, I had no clue these existed!

Awesome! I just discovered your blog and I love it! xxx

What a fabulous idea! I'm going to have to get some. I have so much trouble with fallout from dark eyeshadows.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm doing a giveaway on my blog! Please check it out!

Very clever!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find some discontinued/limited edition MAC products and I seem to remember you tracked down a discontinued dark teal MAC eyeshadow in the past... I tried looking back through your blog and through some categories to see if I could find it, but I couldn't. If I'm not imagining things, what was the website that you used to find and order that product?
it was from allcosmeticswholesale.com :)
ReplyDeletevery innovative idea. I think that for now I'll stick with some tape though :P
ReplyDeletethese have been around for ages, lol. i think reusable silicone ones are a better investment or loose powder, for that matter
ReplyDeletehmmm exactly - why didn't i think of that?
ReplyDeleteit seems like a really good idea - and i'd love to try it, but i'll probably just stick to using tissue and a bit of cream to stick it to my face and catch fall out.
have you tried these? how well do they work?

I think they would be so useful for make up artists but maybe not for amateurs like me!
ReplyDeletehttp://beautybybonnie25.blogspot.co.uk/
Whoever thought of that is pretty creative!
ReplyDeleteKinda gimmicky and unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteI do my eyes first and then my foundation routine - so I don't need something like that...
ReplyDeleteI know that it's not relevant here BUT I saw the Hunger Games movie yesterday!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fantastic!!! :)
I wrote a review about it on my blog:

What a neat idea! There is so many cheaper ways to fix that problem though.
ReplyDeletewww.a-touchofglitter.blogspot.com
I think it's a pretty cool invention :)
ReplyDeleteDon't think i would immedialty buy them if i even knew where to get them though.. I think it would be most usefull for make-up artists :)

These look great! How useful :)
ReplyDeletewww.liana-beauty.blogspot.co.uk
this would be perfect for me! I am always getting glitter all over my face, but I think that I wouldn't be able to spend that much for something that i will use up so quickly.. 30 for 10$ meaning one for each eye, so they only last for 15 days... Oh well

These are a cool and innovative product - especially useful for makeup artists. I was quite intrigued when I saw Sam from the Pixiwoos use them in one of her tutorials.

i feel like you could also use this on top of your eyelids for applying a thick layer of mascara. sometimes i do it with a business card or a post-it note. :)

It's a cool idea, but there are many other (and cheaper) ways to do the same thing :)
ReplyDeletehttp://thedailyswatch.blogspot.com
Nice idea, but using them often, won't you risk to damage your under-eye area causing wrinkles etc..? You could simply apply foundation later :)

perfect for your love/hate relationship with smote!
