Top 10 Fave Eyeshadows


L'Oreal HIP Eyeshadow Duo in Reckless
Pigmentation is awesome, great for adding that pop of color either on the crease or as a bottom liner. Lasts a really long time. I really recommend this line of eyeshadows


Wet N' Wild ColorIcon Trio in Sweet as Candy
Pigmentation is again, awesome, and for the price it's well worth it. Great for creating that lovely, dainty neutral look.


Maybelline ExpertWear Quad in Sunlit Bronze
Pigmentation wise, not that visible, but with a primer the color shows up better. But on its own, unfortunately, no. Really chalky, and fall outs are bound to happen so be careful when applying. But overall, the colors are endless, and this quad is still perfect for achieving that neutral smokey look.


CoverGirl Eye Enhancers Eyeshadow Quad in Coffee Shop
This is better than the Maybelline one that's for sure. You've got 2 matte shades and 2 shimmer. I really love this quad the pigmentation is again, awesome. and the matte highlight and the shimmery brown are my faves.


L'Oreal Wear Infinity Quad in Enchanted Bouquet
I really like the colors in this quad, they really go well. However, the pigmentation is not so great with the lighter shades... Unless you use some kind of primer to accentuate the color, it's really light... But nonetheless, I really like this palette because of its versatility in color..You can achieve a day time and a night time look. There's just something about that plum color that just makes me like this quad regardless of its pigmentation.


Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Va Va Bloom
This line is by far the best drugstore cream shadow. It's very versatile, can be used on its own or used as a base to make the powder shadow longer lasting. I always go for the orangey gold color to give my inner tear duct shine and make my eyes brighter.


Wet N' Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Palette in Vanity
Pigmentation on WNW is crazy. For the price, it's worth it! This palette gives you all what you can get, 3 matte shadows and 3 shimmery shadows. What more can you ask for? I really like using the browns to define my crease area.. This is one of the best eyeshadow palettes I've used thus far.


Limited Edition: Maybelline ExpertWear Eyeshadow in Metallique
I fell in love with the colors of this palette the moment I saw it. It's so pretty.. As you can tell, I'm a champagne, taupe, neutral user... This palette is great for travelling because you get 8 shadows some matte some shimmer. It just sucks that these things are limited edition


Urban Decay Naked Palette
I picked it up recently and I'm liking it! The pigmentation is again great. Great great quality shades...This is so multi-purpose- half of the colors are for the day and half are for night. You can achieve so many different looks with this palette. Great for travelling! But the only downside to it is its packaging.. I'm kinda worried if I do travel with it.. it might get ruined or something...


Coastal Scents Metal Mania Palette
Out of all my Coastal Scents palettes, I always find myself gravitating towards this one.. I'm not sure why but again, the neutralness... And red/purple compliments my skin better and this palette has all of that. Again, pigmentation is out of this world. You get SO SO many looks with this palette. It's just maybe harder to travel with since it's one of the larger palettes but I guess if I were to bring one palette, I would probably go with this... simply because I'm more used it now with the Naked palette, I'm still trying it out so, I'm not yet confident with that yet. But I might change my mind. And also, they should've added some matte shades in there..Cause sometimes I want to just fill in my eyebrows with eyeshadow and I find myself getting the warm palette for it.. and that kinda sucks if you were travelling... ahaha I'd have to bring 2? hmmm...

That concludes, my in depth input on each eyeshadow palette.
Thank you for your time, and Thanks for watching my video
I really do appreciate it :)
