Mecca Cosmetica's second line of in-house cosmetics, Mecca Max, have produced a series of "duos" of complimentary colours for your eyes with a powder shadow that is matte and a shimmer cream topcoat. I bought two, one being Tuscan Sun red powder and orange shimmer and a muted pale green with green/gold shimmer called Armed Forces.

Tuscan Sun is a strawberry red shadow and amber orange top coat. I applied the product in the usual manner with primer and powder base. The powder has pretty good pigmentation. The cream I applied with a brush or finger both work just as well. Immediately you see a great effect. But within half an hour the cream started wearing off and became so patchy and also started to remove the shadow underneath!
The first time I tried the duo I did with bare lids and same result. I have to say the cream element is a hard fail. I need to wear the powder without the cream top and see how that wears. These duos are $16 each. It is such a shame as otherwise these could have been brilliant as they have some great combos.
With the second colour, Armed Forces, I used eyeshadow primer and cream powder to seal it. I then applied the powder first.

These duos are not drugstore prices at approx $16 AUD each. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
Thank-you for reading.
