Smokey eyes are a big craze nowadays. I have been thinking of buying some eye makeup to try this look for a long time. I wanted an eyeshadow palette which would be self-sufficient as I am too lazy to use too many palettes at a time. So I looked up online and bought Essence Eyeshadow Irresistible Fullmoon Flash, with two shades. Here are the review and swatches.
Price and Quantity:
MRP INR 349/- for 2.8g
My experience with Essence Eyeshadow Irresistible Fullmoon Flash
Packaging:
This eyeshadow palette comes in a round, see-through case. It is a cute travel-friendly case.
The eyeshadow palette has two monochrome shades. One is dark grey while the other one is off-white. It has shimmer in it which makes it suitable to be used during the night time. However, I will not term it as metallic as claimed by the brand.
I used both the shades individually and felt that dark grey suited my wheatish complexion more than the off-white one. The off-white shade looked too white on me and I decided not to use it individually. But the dark grey shade looked really amazing and I liked it on me.
The texture is good and the application is also easy. I tried bending both the shades together and they looked good together. The white shade of the eyeshadow is pigmented enough to give it a somewhat 3D look, but the grey color needs to be reapplied for more pigmentation. The color stays on for long so it is long lasting.
So I would say that I had a mixed experience with this eyeshadow palette.
Pros:
- No Parabens
- Suitable for night time because of its shimmer
- Easy to blend
Cons:
- Does not suit all skin colors
- Not really 3D
- Not super pigmented
Would I repurchase?
No, because the particular shades it did not really suit my complexion.
