“Perfect for a night out!
The consistency of this product is fab. The colour is vibrant once applied and a photo is taken with flash on but is a bit dull upon application and not taking a photo. I guess it depends what’s important to you - looking nice in real life or looking nice in photos. ”
“Unsuspecting effect (really cool with flash photography/video). Very day-to-night appropriate. Didn’t transfer, but needed micellar water to fully remove. Non-irritating. A little bit of separation upon opening, but otherwise nice creamy/pastey texture — easy to apply.”
“Like nothing else I've used
It dries really fast and seems to be both smudge and waterproof. I tried applying with fingers and brush, and it was equally blendable both ways.
The texture feels a little more like a very fine clay mask than a cream, but it goes on smoothly and doesn't feel uncomfortable. It also doesn't crack, crease or settle into lines once it's dry, but it can when still wet.
The reflective effect is very cool, and most visible on camera but can also be seen in person when you're in low lighting and shine a direct light on the areas where product is applied.
It removes fairly easily with an oil based cleanser, and doesn't stain (at least the colour I tried, I'm not sure about the darker colours).
Overall I really like it, it's a fun cream pigment without the reflective element, and that makes it like nothing else I've tried.”
“I love this colour
I got The Unseen Spectra eye colour from We Are Eves. My shade is Allumite 8.08.
As soon as I got it I couldn't wait to try just because it's a dual colour product. Normally it's gray and looks good, but in flash photos it looks incredible sparkling, silver shade (tip: it's best to do it in a dark room as possible, the colour looks even brighter( always need to use flash )). Definitely worth the price.
Usage:
The first time I tried with my fingers and was messy, so the second time I tried this product with a small brush and it worked great, fast and hard. I waited for it till dry, it takes a minute, then I used the eye brush as usual and that was it. Then the before and after magic begins.
Advantages:
* Works quickly and neads just a small amount
* Looks perfect and exclusive
* Comfortable to bring for travel
My final option:
* Really liked it both ways .
Highly recommending .

“Sparkly silver
I was absolutely amazed by how this worked. At first it shows as a light grey but with the flash of the camera it transforms to a beautiful sparkly silver.
It is a lightweight product upon application, and applies nicely to the skin. I did find it to be a watery/oily texture when applying but it dries quickly. However if you have hooded eyes which I do if it is even slightly tacky then opening your eyes will ruin it which I found out.
I also found once it dried that it felt heavy on my eye lids - this could well be due to my application. You can apply it with your fingers or a brush, both work well so it would depend on if you want to do a precise look such as eyeliner. I tried both and I personally found using a brush to be much easier than my fingers.
A little goes a long way but I did find the product came out of the tube very quickly upon opening so I did have to work quickly to avoid wasting product.
I did find it had an unusual smell to it which I couldn’t place but this isn’t noticeable when it is applied to they eyes.
I am usually a eyes last person when doing my make up but if I was using this I would have to do my eyes first, any errors and it can be quite hard to fully remove as while it may look like it’s gone in normal light when the flash is on you can see where all the mistakes are. To remove use an oil based cleanser as it removes it with ease.
It is a higher priced product but when you think about how little you need for an application and the fact you’re essentially getting 2 products in one with it being transformed by flash then I believe the price is justified.
Overall, it is a very interesting products as someone who usually opts for a powder eye product I did find myself making mistakes upon application but I love how it transforms with flash - applied properly it would be a great product I just think I need a little more practice with cream based eye products.”
“The glam is real
I love this eye shadow by Theunseen.
Its very easy to apply and the glitter effect it gives with flash is just unbelievable.
When applied it gives a matte black shade but once the flashlight goes on it transformed into a beautiful glitter shade
I would highly recommend this product
its such a unique product.
Perfect for night events.
Thank you We Are Eves for sending me this amazing product to review.”
“Gorgeous but pricey!
When I first recieved this product, I wasn’t a big fan as it dries down extremely quickly and can be quite difficult to work with, however when I saw it under flash it is absolutely stunning! It is a very unassuming grey, but as soon as the flash hits it, it transforms into a gorgeous sparkly silver. I wouldn’t jump to buy it again as it it quite pricey, and not something that I’d usually wear. However if you love experimenting with makeup I would definitely recommend it!”
“Creamy eye shadow that turns to shimmer
I recently tried the Spectra Eye Shadow from The Unseen in shade Alumite. The eye shadow comes in a 0.7 fl oz silver tube with an unscrew able lid. It has a soft creamy texture that is easy to squeeze from the tube. Caution do not squeeze too hard as it comes out quickly. I found a little goes a long way and it builds quite well. If you want to apply more than one coat I would advise letting the first layer dry first or it just slides off. I applied the eye shadow with both my fingers and a makeup brush to test for the best coverage. I did find that applying with my fingers made it go on easier and then when it had dried I used a brush to gently sweep a little onto upper lids. The colour Alumite is an attractive grey shade that can be worn subtly or as bold as you wish. The eyeshadow is designed to change colour to a reflective effect, using the back-facing camera on your phone. You need to have the flash on, and be in a darker area to watch the eye shadow transform through your phone's screen to a silvery look.
I must admit I really did struggle to get a good shimmery look from my camera with flash on. Even my husband tried to take a photo of me and did not get a great effect. I think it is a good idea for young and trendy party people that love this sort of thing but me personally I was happy with the shade that came from the tube. It would be fabulous for fashion shows and cat walks as cameras are constantly flashing there. It felt comfortable and cool on application, blended well, did not crease and lasted all day which made me happy. It is very practical as you can wear it as an eye liner as well as full eye shadow depending on your desired look for the day. I love that this product is vegan, cruelty free, it has a biodegradable vacuum pouch and the silver casing and cap are recyclable. In short though for the £26.00 price tag I do not think I would purchase it personally.”
