As some of you may know I received the L'oreal One Sweep eyeshadow to review, the thought behind the eyeshadow is to apply all three colors in one sweep with the curved applicator brush included in the compact.
The one sweep eyeshadow was designed to eliminate the need to apply the three steps in normal eyeshadow application, which includes: a highlight color, crease color and lid color. These are my thoughts...

MY THOUGHTS
Although the thought behind the one sweep eyeshadow sounds really impressive, it doesn't deliver up to my expectations. I would have loved to eliminate the need of figuring out what colors to wear and eliminating the (often) time consuming need of applying three separate eyeshadows but this product just does not live up to it's claim.
As you can see in the picture, it looks like I only applied one eyeshadow instead of three shadows. I applied an eye base and I followed the directions on the palette and I did two sweeps, (the palette claims to only need 1 sweep) and still ended up with this result.
On a positive note, the shadows are perfectly coordinated colors which I will keep in my collection, but I will just apply them individually. The pigmentation of the shadows were so-so, I think that if I apply the shadows wet it will deliver a better intense color.
