Revlon CustomEyes Shadow & Liner

admin — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 22:53:59 +0000

The smoky eye look doesn’t always have to be gray and black eyeshadow. With Revlon’s CustomEyes Shadow & Liner palette in Smoky Sexy, you can get a smoky look with blues and grays. This palette has four eyeshadows and a fifth color that you can use as eyeliner. We really liked the bright take on smoky eyes for the summer. However, since these are vibrant blue hues, it will look more tame if you take the pointed end of the applicator and use the black shade to frame the eye. These shadows are not highly pigmented, so if you’re looking for more oomph try dampening the sponge applicator that comes with the set before applying your eyeshadow.

L’Oreal Studio Secrets The One Sweep Eye Shadow

L’Oreal has taken the concept of ‘goof-proof’ to a different level with their new Studio Secrets The One Sweep Eye Shadow. If you’re not good with makeup or if you don’t have very much time in the morning this definitely works. We tried the 819 Natural for All Eyes palette and loved it. It’s very natural looking so it’s perfect for work or an interview. However, if you love a dramatic look, you may want to try their other shadow lines.

Almay Intense I-Color Smoky-I Kit

Almay has a line of eyeshadow kits that are designed to flatter your natural eye color. We tried the kit for brown eyes and didn’t think the purple shade (for the crease) would look good at all. However, if applied with a light hand it looked great. These kits are made for the smoky eye look, so if you want to go for a day time look don’t go any farther than your crease with the darkest shade. By the way, these eyeshadows are hypoallergenic as well as talc and paraben free!

WetnWild Color Icon Eyeshadow Palette

Want your eyeshadow to last all day long? Try using foundation or concealer as a base before putting on your eyeshadow. For a smoky eye on a budget, we really liked WetnWild’s Color Icon Eyeshadow Palette in Greed. It has 4 light shades, and a highly pigmented gray and black eyeshadow – perfect for blending!

Almay Intense I-Color Eyeliner

kristen — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 23:32:40 +0000

Makeup is so often about concealing and hiding, we appreciate Almay’s approach, which is to enhance what you already have. Their Intense I-Color Eyeliner collection is made to make the color of your eyes really stand out. There are four shades – royal slate for brown eyes, midnight black for brown eyes, deep jade for hazel eyes, and rich mocha for green eyes. Beyond the eye color enhancers, you may just want to try these because Almay simply makes good eyeliner. Their reputation for hypoallergenic makeup is certainly a plus when it comes to eyes! But what we really liked was the built in smudger at the end of the pencil, which is gives a soft and more professional look. This kohl eyeliner is also soft so you don’t have to worry about dragging delicate eyelid skin. The only bummer is that this eyeliner is not automatic, so you’ll have to get your sharpener out every now and then. Looking to save? Almay offers printable coupons on their site!

Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows

kristen — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:15:28 +0000

If you’re really into fun packaging, you’ll love Milani’s Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows. The unique looking palette contains 6 coordinating shadows with a pearlescent finish. They are easy to blend, and at around just $8 they are a great buy. To make your look last all day we recommend using concealer or foundation on the lids before using eyeshadow.

Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad Shadow

kristen — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:42:38 +0000

Did you know that more than 90% of age-related changes to the face is cause by sun exposure? Since many of us show the most signs of age around the eye area, we were excited to see that Neutrogena has come out with an eyeshadow quad that actually has a SPF in it. Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad Shadows not only contain a SPF of 15, but they also have vitamins, silk, and soy to condition eyelids. These quads are color coordinated, and even come with a label over each to show you where to put each color. For an everyday look, we recommend the Sea Shell 40 Quad, which has neutral tones that would work on most skin tones.

Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Trio

kristen — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:48:03 +0000

Maybelline tends to always stay current on color trends. Their Ivy League trio of shadow is right on time with summer green shades. The light shade goes on the lid, the medium shade in the crease, and the light color for the brow bone or the inner corner of the eye. Instructions are printed on the shadows, making work to cocktail makeup application easy.

These are colors are high in pigment, so what you see is what you get. This particular trio is not for you if you like subtle color. They also have a somewhat metallic finish that’s very flattering.
