Ah, I've been waiting to review the Infallible shadows. *Does preparatory stretching exercises* They've been in my collection for a while now. I'm actually in love with them. I try to make use of them almost every time I'm going outside, which has made my makeup a bit monotonous these days but eh, I'm trying to change. Lol!
I feel a bit stupid taking a flash and no flash picture of this colour. I feel like it's mocking me. There is no difference. :| It's too awesome to change for my puny camera flash. *sigh*
OVERALL:
How did I live without these? No, really.. Sure, the packaging is not the kind you carry around for touch ups and they can be messy and give some fall out. But Burning Black has gone on to become my favourite colour to use with brights and neutrals. Great for a smokey eye too! It stays on for hours and the price is just right.

Here's a look I did today using Burning Black and the neon pink from the Sleek Acid palette (review soon.)
I liked how dramatic it looked but I should have blended a bit more. *so lazy* Oh well, hope you like it anyway!
It all started with Forever Pink, Ansh from Vanity No Apologies had sent it to me. I was in laauve! After that I got two more and now they take the spot light on my shelf. ^^
I decided to do a review for each one separately, because they kinda are different from each other in one way or another. Today, I'll tell you about my favourite one. Burning Black. In my next reviews, I'll only be mentioning certain points because I'm lazy and I'm writing them here anyway. :P
A little bit about the Infallible shadows (copied from the website):
Ultra-intense colour, up to 24 hour long-lasting hold and velvety soft feel.
PRICE: Rs.450/- I got Burning Black for 375 because I'm cool like that... Ok, there was a sale.
PACKAGING: The Infallible eyeshadows come in nifty plastic jars with a little stopper lid. KEEP THAT STOPPER! These shadows are a creamy powder and aren't pressed. So there will be spillage if you lose the stopper. The quantity is 3.5g which is quite a bit! It will last me forever and a day. Always a good thing. ;)
COLOUR/ TEXTURE: The texture of Burning Black is creamy and smooth but at the same time powdery. It's weird to explain but it's very smooth. Not all the shadows in this range are smooth.
I love the complexity of all the colours. Burning Black can be black, purple and brown altogether and it has really pretty shimmers in purple and pink.
APPLICATION: Although this shadow applies well, there is some fall out. It also tends to "set." And being Infallible, once set, it is hard to budge, so you have to work with it fast. Any kind of eye shadow brush works well with this one.
I personally love using Burning Black on the outer V of my eye.
LONGETIVITY: Can you say forever? Okay, I exaggerated.. These will last you 8-10 hours with minimal creasing if used with a primer. I haven't seen the need to use them longer. And they do stain btw. Even if you smudge them by hand, they will leave deep marks.
