Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Eye Color Rum Spice Review & Swatches
Hi All,
I picked this from ebay since there was an offer going on for a Black Radiance Baked Artisan blush and eye color together for about 700 bucks. Being the bargain crazy gal that I am I didn’t waste a moment and bought this immediately.
Most of you know how crazy I am about blushes and I hardly ever use eye shadows so this was sitting pretty in my vanity for sometime and I was feeling bad about it. So when a friend invited me to his engagement I took this as an opportunity to use this baby…I used it continuously for a while and have come to the conclusion that this is one of the best shades to have in your kitty during the wedding season.
Product Claim:
Artisan Color Baked eye Color is a new generation of highly pigmented exclusive shadows that reinvent colors intensely. Designed to be applied either wet or dry, this eyeshadow trio is baked on a terracotta disk for ultra rich, long lasting application. Use ‘dry’ for sheer color or use ‘wet’ for intense dramatic color.
- Quantity:1.5gms
Ingredients:
My take on Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Eye Color in Rum Spice:
- Packaging:This eye shadow comes in a round pot form which is extremely sturdy and good for traveling. As visible the actually shade pan is surrounded by a slight depression in the pan which helps catch any fallout. So no need to work about wastage.
This doesn’t come with a brush or a mirror which I do feel is a negative.
- Color:This shade is a combination of black, bronze and brown. Hence the result of combining all the shades is a dark peachy bronze shade which looks fabulous.
- Pigmentation & Texture:This eyeshadow is a bit on the harder side which I presume is because it is baked. But pigmentation is not a problem at all. And when used wet the intensity of the color doubles up very well.
- Staying Power: It stays on my eyes for approx 6-7hrs which is awesome To be honest I haven’t worn it for a longer time but the shade hadn’t faded within 7hrs so I assume it will stay on for longer.
Swatches of Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Eye Color in Rum Spice:
And here’s how it looks on my lids. I have used it in the crease.
Pros of Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Eye Color in Rum Spice:
- Its the perfect dark bronze to have.
- Perfect for the wedding season
- Intensely pigmented
- Can be used both wet and dry.
- Sturdy packaging
- Minimal fallout
- Transparent lid makes it easy to identify the color.
- Good staying power.
Cons of Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Eye Color in Rum Spice:
- Not available in India
- Doesn’t come with a mirror or a handy applicator
Ratings:
- Pigmentation: 4.5/5
- Packaging: 4/5
- Staying Power: 4.5/5
- Availability: 2/5
- Price vs. Quality: 4/5

Goood morning ..today is a happpy mondayyy
Beautiful eyes n makeup
Thanx sneha
do u use such shades?
Yep, not exactly the same but there is one this kinda shade in lakme peacock quartet! Hey Zara, needed one help, do you know any good Makeup Artists in Pune, one of my best friend is getting married soon and she is dusky, and the MUAs from the parlours we tried are just trying to paint her face to make her look fair
ah yess..it does…i remember that quartet
there r plenty of gud MUAs in Pune but yes..u shud pakka tell them that u dont want the white wala effect at all…most of them dont wana do it but they r told to do it by most clients so they end up thinking of it as apermenent requirement. I had referred to this site plenty of times…check it out:
http://www.makeupartistdirectory.com/service/1/397/Wedding/Pune/India/
Also, u kno papillon on prabhat road na? they also do gud bridal makeup…Also u can contact
sonali.mylook@gmail.com…shes the contact for bridal..she’s not from pailoon but they provide gud MUAs..check it out..
Cool.. Thanks a lot.. I had checked earlier on makeupartistdirectory but then, taking trial everywhere is not possible and it is always good to be trying those, who have given good results n experience to the customers
Thanks again.. 
sure dear…but di check out papillon pakke se..they do gud work…Head to TOeas also does a good job but they r really too pricey..If ur pal i sok with spending alot then they r also a gud option..
pretty colors and pretty eyes! <3

Thats soo U!! Have you already reviewd the blush?
Kejal recently posted..Oriental Express Art
Nopes…not as yet

ok..i thought I must have missed it. have you applied anything else on ur eyes..apart from this and a liner? as in any other colour or just one?
Kejal recently posted..Oriental Express Art
I’ve used a cream shadow/base as well in the inner half of the lid
What is that liner you using? its shiny..
hehe..actually its a normal black liquid liner topped off with Lakme wala liner from the latest range earlier this year….forgot the shade..its the one which i transparent and has shimmer…I have that to use over any liner during any occasions
Oh! Zee…….ur eyes ………pretty pretty…….shade is also pretty and hope its like a must have shade for most Indian skin tones
uv said it right Sri…This suits almost all Indian skintones and is perfect to have during the wedding season.
Yup Zee
……..hope we can use it whenever we r in hurry also as if anythng went wrong also no probs with this shade.
