Today’s review is going to be the Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow 208 Light Gold. I got to know about this brand through a YouTuber nearly 3-4 years ago. She mentioned how this brand is hard to buy from stores as there weren’t many that time around and how good the product is for the price tag. I decided to do a small haul from this brand and that’s when I bought this. So how did the Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow 208 Light Gold fare out for me?

    How Did The Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow 208 Light Gold Work For Me?

    The Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow 208 Light Gold comes in a sleek matte black plastic packaging. The packaging is chic, sturdy and also travel friendly. The Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow 208 Light Gold as the name suggests is a pale gold color that has a sheer base and a high metallic sheen to it. I have seen swatches of other colors online with much better pigmentation so it could be just this one color with a varied pigmentation.

    As an eyeshadow the Light Gold is definitely not my favorite but I got it as a cheek highlighter and it does a fabulous job on that. The sheer base and metallic sheen is a perfect combination for a great face highlighter. The formula of the Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow 208 Light Gold can be used both wet and dry, it applies flawlessly both ways. Even as a cheek highlighter, it hasn’t broken me out once. The pros undoubtedly outweighed the cons of this product for me.
