Physician's Formula Virtual Eyes

A while ago, a long while ago actually, I purchased Physician's Formula Virtual Eyes from Dollar Tree. I had no idea what it was, but I recognized the brand. I had never had a negative experience with PF products and, well, it was only $1.


I just opened it yesterday. Yeah, I know. I can't believe it either. Anyway, it's got a little brush and the color is a cool iridescent purple. To apply it, I sweep a little across my lid and then pat my lid, making sure there is an even coverage and that it's not too thick. It dries a bit tacky.

I really thought it would crease immediately. Or within an hour. So, I did a quick makeup look while hanging out in my room. I applied the PF Virtual Eyes all over my lid and on the lower lash line, too. I did a quick makeup look using a pink and a dark gray shade from the shadows below.

I was surprised to find that, after two hours, it hadn't creased. I mean, that's no big deal for a real primer, but I didn't think that this THIS discontinued product that I bought at the Dollar Tree would do anything at all. Well, I'll wear it all day tomorrow, I decided.

At the end of the day -- I've been wearing my makeup for about 10 hours now (10 am to 8 pm), there is NO CREASING!!! HOLY CRAP. None at all. It looks like I just applied my makeup.

Why you should use a base and a mixing medium.

Wet'n'Wild Wild Eyes in... ummm Blue and Purple/Pink... yeah. (Names? Dunno.)

Without any base or mixing medium. Huh. Where's the shadow?

Applied WITH base (Mary Kay Signature Eye Primer) and Mixing Medium (homemade. Yes, Tiffany, I got some glycerin. Yes, Tiffany, I will make you some.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in ... uh, Green and Dance Pretty (okay, at least I know one name! I need to stop pulling the stickers off. It was an accident!)

Shadows applied side by side. The difference here is not so much the pigmentation (it's only slightly better with the base&medium), but the colors that are brought out! It's really hard to tell in these pictures but that middle shade of pink has a gold shimmer I never even saw before!

These two photos (above and below) are without flash.
I think you can finally see the difference.

Well, what are you waiting for! Go grab those shadows that you thought sucked (well, they still kinda suck. Its nice to have shadows that you don't have to jump through hoops to get color payoff) and try them out! You might find a new favorite color you never knew you had.
