7 Worst Eyeshadows
-
First time trying Salma Hayek's line....
I've always wanted to try Nuance especially since there's hardly any reviews out there. I only found ONE video out there on YouTube about her makeup but that video was super long and boring and I really wanted a lot more than just one person's opinion. I bought this in the color Sunset Visions and when I went to CVS they only had this color or the Neutral Brown shades to choose from and I figured ...read moreI'll stick with this one since I have way too many neutrals. The pink and the purple shade in this palette really appealed to me because I really enjoy pink and purple eyeshadow combos. However when I took this home and swatched it, I can already tell I wouldn't really like it. It was super powdery and no pigmentation at all. I decided to use my trusty Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion with this and it did a little bit better but doesn't really justify the $16 price for this palette. The eyeshadows did not want to stick to my lids at all but my biggest pet peeve about this palette is that it has 3 matte highlight shades! Three! Who the heck needs 3 matte highlight shades? The only thing missing from this palette is a good transition crease shade. It has a matte taupe color in here but it's way too dark to be a transition shade. I think one of the matte nude shades in here is supposed to be shimmery but it's so subtle that it looks completely matte on the eyelids. I just feel like if you're going to make a shimmery shade, at least have it look shimmery and not so subtle. The shadows blended out okay and it's buildable after I attempted the third time to make the pink shade pop but I hated how once I applied everything on the lid, it all seemed to meld into each other and looked very muddy. All the colors especially the purple and taupe shade ended up looking like the same color and all the three nude shades ended up looking the same too. The only contrast color I can tell on my lid was the pink shade. On the back, it said you could use this wet or dry but I don't really prefer using my shadows wet because it will harden the product over time. Overall, I was highly disappointed with this palette and will be returning it. Not worth it for one pink shade that I can really use and a mediocre brush that has a sponge tip applicator on one end and a small bristled brush on the other (which was quite useful for getting the bottom lash line).This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
