Wonderful for darker skinned women!
Finally!
A highly pigmented natural shadow that works great with African American skin.
I have been searching for a natural highly pigmented shadow palette for FOR.EV.ER .
Seriously!
If you check my review history I am clearly obsessed with finding a highly pigmented shadow that I can put on one or two swipes of and it’s like BAM!
Eyeshadow for days.
Ladies? I have found my holy grail.
This shadow palette is the bomb!
It goes on smoothly and it’s highly pigmented enough that I can put a swipe or two on and I’m set.
If you’re looking for shadows that work well in both natural sunlight and can go all vavavoom at night, this one is for you!
It’s so highly pigmented that I only use eyeshadow primer when I want it to really dazzle at night.
It doesn’t come off when I’m sweating up a storm or if I accidentally rub my eyes either!
I included 2 pics of me doing a low key night time look( taken in my bathroom )using strobed champagne, chrome metal and sunlit copper, so you can see how subtle yet bold the shadow is,and I only used one application of each color ladies.
One!
The third pic was taken in the daytime on an overcast day.
This is two applications of the same colors for a slightly bolder look.
I have like, a lot of face so I don’t use a ton of shadow because I start looking like I’m all eyeballs, but if you like a nice neutral shadow that has the potential to stand out without having to spend a billion hours putting on coats of shadow, I think this would work well.
I’m especially pleased at how well it pops on African American skin.
Most shadow palette’s I’ve found on Amazon have had a cheap chalky consistently or you have to put on a million and one coats to get color or I’m allergic to it( because I’m allergic to all the things, fml🙄)and so far this is the ONLY palette I’ve tried that didn’t do any of those things AND I’m not allergic!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
No watery eyes, no puffy lids, it’s a freakin miracle.
I am absolutely enamored with this brand and this palette and think it’s a great buy for the price.
I just wish they had a palette with some pinks, teals, yellows etc!
I included the pictures so my darker skinned ladies can see how awesome the shadow is in the flesh, as it were.😊
As always, no filters or flash, these were taken with only my bathroom lights on, which are not spectacular or outside.
Ps: If you’re looking for an awesome mascara, the one in the pics is also Honest Beauty and it is amazing because I have stupidly tiny lashes and you would never know it with that mascara.🥰
