Calvin Klein Long Wear Cream Eyeshadow Reef (Limited Edition) - Swatch and Review




Hi everyone,

Checking in to deliver a review for you and wishing you all a happy 4th of July. Hope you have fun and stay safe.

Packaging
  • Bright and cute plastic squeeze tube with a shimmery/metallic finish. 
  • .17 oz or 5 ml

Product
  • Reef is a shimmery bright chartreuse cream color. I believe this is limited edition for summer but it doesn't specify that on Ulta's website. I think that's what it said when I was looking at the display in store. 
  • It's fairly pigmented but you can wear it sheer if  you want due to the light consistency of the formula. Believe it or not, I sported this color to work the other day and when sheered and paired with a neutral brown, it adds just a little pop of brightness without looking overwhelming. 
  • You can layer for more color intensity but the less the better. If you use too much, it will look flaky as it dries. 
  • I like to apply with my fingers better. It's much easier to handle and give you enough time to blend before it sets. It does set within a few seconds though. 
  • I'm pretty happy with the wear. It did not crease or fade on me for up to 8 hours without a primer. 

Final Thought

This is a bright and fun color that I find perfect for summer. I like that you can wear it sheer or layer it for more intensity and really appreciate that it didn't crease without a primer and wears pretty much for the whole day.

Rating: 8.5/10

  1. Happy 4th of July! This is pretty...not for me, but still pretty nonetheless. I'm convinced you can pretty much pull off any color.

    1. I think anyone can. All you need is the confidence to wear it and coordinating it with complementary shades.

  2. Wow that is a fun color! But at $18.00 I'd have to find a color I'd wear a lot!

    1. I know what you mean. They did have another color that looks more natural.
