Review! Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy

I heard a lot of buzz about Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy being THE go-to product to keep glitter eyeshadows from falling out.

It comes it a tube with a doe-foot applicator, much like a lip gloss.  You use this over your regular eyeshadow primer, and under your eyeshadow.  One little dot of it is enough for both eyes.

Once you have it spread over your eyelid, load your eyeshadow brush with your eyeshadow, and then pat (do not "sweep" it on) the eyeshadow onto your lid.  Keep patting on your eyeshadow until you have the desired intensity built, and once all your colors are on, you can blend.

Here are five swatches of the same eyeshadow (from Sephora's Moonshadow Collection; I'll be reviewing the palette this eyeshadow comes in on Friday!), all applied with different bases:

Next, I rubbed my arm about as hard as you would if you were rubbing your eyes really hard.  This is how much eyeshadow ended up on my fingers:

And here is what was left of the swatches:

I think that speaks for itself.


When I used this, my eyeshadow stayed in place all day, with very minimal fallout.  This stuff works, does exactly what it is supposed to do, does it better than any other primer I have tried, and is very affordable.  I highly recommend it!
