Today I want to talk about eyeshadows! Which one are your favorite? Dior, Chanel, Shiseido, Clinique, Mac, YSL, Lancome... There are so many types at the market now... Some are so expensive and some of them are affordable.
Are the most expensive ones the best ones? I would say NO! I always say they are more into the design of the product... Chanel's eyeshadows look so pretty in that cool box & this makes them cost much more than they really worth. You are paying more because of a brand, not because of a better quality products.
Which eyeshadows should you get? Which ones can you really afford?
I'll give you few options:
1. UNDER $10
Cheap but good eyeshadows I would recommend are the ones form NYXCosmetics. I would suggest you to get the trio eyeshadow set instead of the mono eyeshadow... Also there are ElfCosmetics where you can get the whole eyeshadow palette for $5. From those 2 i really prefer NYX!
2. UNDER $20
I would suggest you to pick some of these. Ok, you will pay a little bit more but you can really get some quality products that you will really like. Check the mineralize duo eyeshadows from MAC . Mac is one of my favorite brands and their eyeshadows are really gorgeous! They have also a great choice of mono eyeshadows which I highly recommend.
If you are looking for some vivacious colors check the eyeshadows form BenNye. They are highly pigmented and ver very nice!
3. From $30 - $50
With this budget you can really get great products. It might seem a bit too much for make up but when it comes to eyeshadows you need to know that they really last long (except if they are creamy). You can be sure that you'll use it for 2 years at least. Check LePrisme Mono from Givenchy.. It's a great eyeshadow because the same color you have in 4 different shades. Also a good choice is the Street Art eyeshadow from MAC, or their palettes with 4 eyeshadows. Check the YSL palettes with 4 eyeshadows. I really love those ones and I can proudly say that I own one too. Some people told me that they don't like their make up but I don't share the same opinion. So far they never disappointed me. Also, check the 5x eyeshadows palette from Dior. I love them! The colors are really beautiful!
Ok, that's what I think about my favorite eyeshadows. Those are the brands I like, and with one I work. Honestly, I got disappointed in Chanel and I think they should just work on the clothing & fragrance line. When it comes to make up.... most of the products are really really bad (for the price I'm paying). The lipsticks are good but the blushes & eyeshadows definitely not!
Shiseido is a great brand but I prefer it for blushes, primers, foundations & lipsticks (which are really great). The eyeshadows didn't impress me so much.
.....Honestly for me a brand with all great products doesn't exist.. And all in all, with all those good brands around who can be loyal just to one of them? :)
Finally and interesting blog!! Cheers!!!
OdgovoriIzbrišiMy fav eyeshadows are very expensive
> Stefania D' Alessandro Make - Up (she' s the most famous Italian celebrity make-up artist and she created her own brand): the design is simple; I use everyday the same from 1 year and a half (It costs 60 euros)and I' m proud of how invested that money!
> Same price and quality, but with most vivacious colours are products from STUDIO 72.
Make-up for actress. You can cry your eyes out, sleep, practice sports and they are perfect for 24 hours!
I also like Kryolan and their products are made for theatre. Screenface & BenNye are professional brands too! I don't have much mono eyeshadows because I buy the whole palettes and those ones you can only find in professional stores.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI saw Stefania D'Alessandro web site & her make up is really really beautiful but still my idol will always be Kevin Aucoin & Pat McGrath! They are definitely the best ever!!!! :)
