Rouge Bunny Rouge Long-lasting Eye Shadow: Delicate Hummingbird


After reading countless positive reviews and drooling over swatches of the beautiful shades available for months and months, I finally made my first Rouge Bunny Rouge purchase a few months ago. There are so many pretty things available from the brand that I had trouble deciding on what to try first, after much deliberation though, I decided upon one of the brand’s Long Lasting Eye Shadows, Delicate Hummingbird. 

Here’s what Rouge Bunny Rouge say about their long-lasting shadows: 

Discover a new powder eye shadow with an astonishing lightweight, creamy touch and unprecedented adherence. This formula creates pure dynamic iridescence while it maintains second skin effect. It has extended 8-hour wear that will stay perfect and look freshly applied all day. Orange-derived Flavonoid improves blood microcirculation, enhances luminosity and serves as free radicals scavenger. 


Delicate Hummingbird is described as a Cool, dusky sugar-frosted plum, iridescent with pink shimmer. I’d say the description is pretty much spot on! Delicate Hummingbird is a beautiful, iridescent purply, plummy taupe with delicate pink and blue shimmer.

I’d heard good things about the brand’s shadows, and I have to say, I completely agree with the positive reviews. The powder is incredibly finely milled, has a buttery smooth/creamy texture and applies and blends perfectly. Delicate Hummingbird is pigmented and the plummy taupe shade has the most beautiful sheen, which gives an almost foiled appearance once it’s been applied. I find the long-lasting claim to be true, too. Even without primer, the shade holds up brilliantly on my oily lids, and I’ve had no issues at all with creasing.

Delicate Hummingbird is a beautiful colour and the silky smooth, long-lasting formula is excellent. The only reason I waited so long before trying the brand is because I literally couldn’t decide what to try first. After trying the brand’s shadows, I will definitely be giving some of the other pretty goodies on offer a go. In fact, I think my next Rouge Bunny Rouge purchased might just be Eclipse Eagle, the richer, darker sister of Delicate Hummingbird. 

Available from Zuneta (£20.50)
