Base Trial: Kryolan RMG Palette OVER UPDD

EYE FACTS:
Slightly oily lids
Double eyelid on the left-side
Lid skin is slightly loose
Sensitive eyes
Crease prone near tear ducts

The following base trial is based on Kryolan's Mini RMG Palette used OVER Urban Decay Primer Potion. This product is a special castor oil based grease paint which is used a lot in theatre and stage makeup.

My good friend, Cannice, had swiped up some good finds from Kryolan back when some of their products were on sale. And since she hardly uses them, I asked her if I could test them out and put them to use.

In this container of finds was the 16-Color Kryolan Mini RMG Palette. I've been doing research online since the palette was unlabeled, but it looks close to the palette shown here. I'm not sure if it's the EXACT one since the palette I have is quite old and the colors or color order is slightly different, but for the sake of getting a visual on the product I used, this is pretty close, if not exact.

I "read" through the land of makeup talk that the Kryolan palettes are a bit more creamy in consistency in contrast to Mehron products which I "read" are more tacky. The creamy consistency of the 16-Color Kryolan Mini RMG Palette is definitely the cause of the crease-city you're about to witness. And this was OVER Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Everyone's eyelids are different, but this is how my experience was with it.

Within the hour of doing my makeup, I was sad to find out the eyeshadow color near and around my crease area had faded as well as the evident line of creasing smack across my eyelid. I was going to a birthday party and I hadn't even left yet and my eyes were looking unfashionably tow' up!! So needless to say that I tried not to blink while I was there, hah! Oh, it was not cute you guys... :( It was a kid's birthday party though so at least half the party-goers had no clue, lol!

But don't take my word for it, see for yourself...




Kryolan Mini RMG Palette OVER Urban Decay Primer Potion

Color payoff
The color payoff in my opinion is really nice. I had used a nice strong purple from the Kryolan RMG Palette and placed MAC Electra e/s (silver) over it and the purple had turned the silver into this glistening lavendar color. Absolutely gorgeous!

Crease Factor
I'm sorry. When it creases before the hour, I am not all over it. I'm actually still rather hurt that I had allowed myself to be seen under such creasing conditions, lol!!! But seriously. This creased rather easily. Perhaps if I used less or even used my finger for application, there would have been different (better?) results, but I didn't and it didn't deem itself worthy. We're not friends yet...

Ease of use/blending
Due to the creamier nature of the Kryolan Mini RMG Palette, blending does work well.

Tools
Firm bristles brushes like the MAC 242 or 252, or the MAC 239 will work also.

Using it this way is great if you have...
Dry eyelids!

Using it this way is not so great if you have...
eyelids that are oily unless you like showcasing a little fashion streak across the lid. Then by all means, more power to you :)

Overall...
I'll probably give it another shot just to see if I can make it work. But this time, I'm not wearing it out to another special occassion. Nah-uh, nope... hah!

Here's the famous "crease" shot:

Totally not pretty, huh? I don't know why I'm smiling. I ain't happy about it, LOL!

Has anyone else messed around with the Kryolan RMG Palette or their products in general? Did creasing happen for you also?
