7 Worst Eyeshadows

Stunning for Day and Night!
It's hard to believe that there's not a stampede to Sephora for this versatile, incredible palette. I bought Sephora's huge "Microbaked Palette" at Christmas--a limited edition--and was so very impressed that I didn't want to run out of this product, so I purchased this smaller one to make sure I never ran out of these. (If the large one becomes available again, run--don't walk--for it! It cont...read moreains a plethora of eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers, and the most unique, ethereal highlighter I have seen in my life, all for $32.00). These are soft, highly pigmented shadows in very rich shades. All shimmer with micro-glitter, which adheres far better than large pieces of glitter and makes the colors wearable everywhere, from work to a night on the town. The unique hues include a flattering pink/lavender; nude/ecru; white with inflections of gold; light pure gold; platinum; the deepest, most decadent black/purple permitted by law; true dark chocolate; gleaming black; an intriguing black with tiny bits of gold; and a rich cobalt blue. Sephora does not include any applicators--best results are only achieved with a mix of brushes. I am surprised at the sultry, glowing look which dry application gives. On New Year's Eve, I used the nude, gold, and chocolate brown for a smoky eye (I often use under my eyes as a linter as well, and I did that night). My husband kept telling me how wonderful I looked. I fell asleep at three in the morning with makeup intact (for shame, I know), and I woke up to him standing over me saying, "I didn't realize how amazing your eye shadow is. It's still in place and you still look as good as you did last night" (realize I pay him to say these things). For a foiled look with more pizzazz, apply these shadows wet. You won't believe the combinations you can create. There is very little shadow fall-out, and I couldn't have put together a better combination of colors if I tried. Just do yourself a favor and buy it, please.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Sexy and Fun Colors
I love this palette so much! The metallic, foil-like finish is beautiful, and I love all the colors so much. I use the champagne, gold, silver, light pink, and white shades as highlight in my inner corner, brow bone, or even a bit pressed on top my other shadow in the center of my lid for shine and definition. The cobalt blue and dark purple are really fun, unexpected colors to use. I use a sheere...read morer wash of them for day or with primer and a matte base of a similar color for night. The blacks and browns I use a lot, less for day and more for night. I totally recommend this palette to try out the baked shadow trend, because it is so versatile and the two fun colors are unique and force you to get out of a neutral rut. I'll admit a lot of Sephora-brand products, shadows in particular, are low-quality and unpopular, but do not overlook this palette!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

BEAUTIFUL!
These are seriously some of the best eyeshadow colors I have seen in a very long time. They are absolutely stunning when applied wet on the lips and finished with a matte color for the shadows. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to look sexy and glamorous for a night out!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
