Where did the days go when you could purchase three, or four, eye shadow singles. Now, we buy our shadows in big eye shadow palettes. What is more, for me, I don’t wear more than half of the shades in those palettes! Do you? At most, I need three or four eye shadows to create a look. As a result, Marc Jacobs created the new Marc Jacobs O!Mega Eye Shadow Collection. First of all, the eye shadows are singles. Next, the shadows are twice the size of a regular single eye shadow. Therefore, you’ll most-likely never hit the pan. In addition, by purchasing a single shadow, you are cutting out all of the shades, in your large eye shadow palette, that you won’t ever wear!
Above all, Legendary Makeup Artist, Diane Kendal handpicked the 9 shades. These shades are the most the most flattering, and requested shades. As a result, you will wear these shadows now, and you’ll wear them forever!
You can find the O!Mega Eye Shadows at Sephora, and on the Marc Jacobs Beauty Website. Each shadow retails for $29.
Marc Jacobs O!Mega Eye Shadow Packaging
For one thing, the packaging is big. The reason being the eye shadow is twice the size of a regular single shadow.
Also, the packaging looks sleek.
It is shiny, and jet black.
And, the compact comes with a mirror inside.
Additionally, when you first open the compact, there is a black disc with Marc Jacobs printed on it. This disc protects the eye shadow underneath. It seems like such a nice touch! However .my only complaint, it would be nice if they had included some sort of applicator. What is the need for a mirror, without something to put the shadow on. So, on the one hand it is great for travel. On the other hand, without the tool to apply the shadow, you would have to use your fingers.
Marc Jacobs O!Mega Eye Shadow Formula
O!Mega Eye Shadows are a gel powder. That is to say, the formula is innovative. Gel coats the pigment. As a result, the eye shadows glide on your eyes. Furthermore, the formula is buttery and smooth. And, the color payoff is intense. Moreover, the color stays true all day! Most of all, the gel prevents shadow kick back. In other words, the gel design minimizes fallout.
Marc Jacobs O!Mega Eye Shadow Shades
Remember, when you have the opportunity to buy single shades you don’t need but three or four of them. Hence, I purchased four of the nine shades sold at Sephora. I’m not quite sure why, but the Markc Jacobs Website only has six of the nine shades. In addition, the shades come in three finishes, matte, satin and shimmer.
Brav-0!
Brav-O! is a golden bronze shade with a shimmery finish. Use this shade to create a smoky eye.
Daddi-O!

Dynam-O!
Dynam-O! is a slate grey shade with a subtle shimmery finish. First, use this shade to create a smoky eye look. Also, if you have a deep complexion, wear this shade on your eyelids as a base. Also, you can use the slate grey shade as an eye liner.
Perfect-O!
Perfect-O! is a vanilla cream shade with a satin finish. First, if your have a light complexion, use this shade as a base. Also, use the vanilla cream on your brows as a highlighter.
Prim-O!
Prim-O! is a pink-nude with a shimmery finish. First, if you want a little sparkle, use the pink-nude shimmer on your eyelids as a base. Also, this shade would make a great highlighter on your brow bones.
I purchased the next four shades. In fact, all of the shades look great with Marc Jacobs Highliner and Fineliner, in either black or brown.

Marc Jacobs O!Mega Eye Shadow Last But Not Least………
Consider these nine shades your essentials. In other words, you will use the shades for your eye shadow base, as a transition shade in your crease, as a liner, for a smoky eye, and as a brow-bone highlighter. Also, think of the O!Mega Collection as your “cashmere sweater “eyeshadows. First of all, it’s an essential, so you must have it! And, the shadow goes with everything! Finally, Marc Jacobs’ inspiration for the O!Mega Shadows came from social medial. As Marc put it, ” people were hitting pan on their favorite eye shadow shades in their eye shadow palettes. As a result, he wanted them to have their go-to shades! And, he doubled their size!”
Have you ever hit pan in your favorite shades? Then, since you weren’t using the rest of the 25 shades in the palette, what did you do with the palette? If you are like me, you hate to get rid of it. Yet, it is worthless without your favorite shades! Now, wouldn’t you like to have those favorite shades without having to get another palette? My new daughter in law hit pan on only one shade, her favorite, in a palette I bought for her last Christmas. As a result, I had to purchase another one for her. And, this was just so she could have that special shade! I’m thinking, Marc Jacobs had the right idea, creating singles of our favorite shades, don’t you? Leave your comments below!
Oh, I’d love to hear what some of your favorite shades are!
