Review

The palette itself is small in size. It has 8 eyeshadows: 3 Matte, 3 metallic and 2 Glittery. Nice in pigmentation, blendability, and easy to work with. I didn't notice any patchiness or lack of pigmantation. The 1st shadow is almost my skin tone (you can barely see it in the swatches). It's a pressed powder shadow. I didn't noticed any fall out when it's applied. It kicks some powder when I pick some product with the brush, nothing major though.

The majority of them are smooth. They can be built if you want more pigmentation.
I haven't noticed any scent.

About this small eyeshadow palette: 6 of them are nice to work with. The last 2 colors have glitter/shimmer in them that will make them a bit rough on the eyes if you blend them.

The small size is perfect for travelling.

The colors description (the best I could):

1- Matte light muted/pinkish brown.

2- Matte muted/pinkish brown.

3- Metallic coppery gold.

4- Metallic yellow gold.

5- Metallic bronzy gold.

6- Matte dark muted/pinkish brown.

7- Satin and glittery warm brown, with colorful glitter. This one might hurt your lids (or feel like hurting) because of the glitter.

8- Satin dark brown (cool tone) with colorful glitter. The glitter in this one is more aspersed and it might hurt your lids.

Note: if you use #7 and #8 be careful when you blend them.

I've posted pictures on my IG where I wear this palette.

Makeup (products). Part 2: Eyes and Lips

Welcome. This is the second part of the makeup products post. The previous post was about everything for the face; today will be products related to Eyes and Lips.

Eyes:

1. Eyeshadow Primer: with this the eyeshadow you will apply on top will last longer and will stay in place.
Where to apply? All over the lid and just under the brow bone/arch.

2. Eyeshadow: provides life to the look. There are different techniques and styles to choose from. The eyeshadow should be found as "single" eyeshadow, or as duos, trios, quads, etc., or palettes. An eyeshadow can be matte, shimmer, satin, metallic, duochromatic (they change into another color depending on how the light reflects on it), some are pure pigments; it can come in a powder, cream or liquid form, among others. There are hundreds of colours to choose from.
Where to apply? On the lids and sometimes under the lower lashes.

It can be liquid or cream and come as a pencil, marker, gel, liquid with an applicator or wand, among others.

4. Mascara: may provide length and volume, depending on the claims of the product/brand. Di
There are different colors: the most common is the black one.
You can find the regular formula or the waterproof one.
Where to apply? On the lashes. It is highly recommended use the waterproof mascara on the bottom lashes if you have watery eyes; if it's raining or you have an event and/or get emotional), use on both.

5. (False) Lashes: there are people that have short lashes or they simply like dramatic looks. But overall, falsies or false lashes are optional. The main reason is to give more volume and complete the eye look. They can be more natural or more "glamorous". Different types of lashes to choose from.

6. Brow: the brows are the frame of the face. Some people have very thin eyebrows, others have more bushy ones. The products can come in a pencil, gel, pommade or powder form. There are some techniques depending on the products to be used. It's often to pair any powder, cream formula with a brush (spooly or comb).
Where to apply? On the eyebrows and give them the desired form (for your face).

Lips:

1. Lipliner: prevent lipstick to bleed outside the lips. They can be paired to the lipstick or it can be transparent. Mostly found in a pencil form with a creamy formula.
Where to apply? Following the borders of the lips (or drawing a line slightly outside of them), some fill their lips with them as a base for the lipstick.

2. Lipstick: gives color to the lips. Can be found in a cream form or liquid when are single, they can be found like a palette too. Matte, satin, metallic, are some of the finishes. Some are long-lasting.
Where to apply? On the lips.

(Cream) Lipsticks

Lip Crayons

Liquid Lipsticks

Lip palettes

3. Lip Gloss/ Lip Topper: gives some shine to the lips without giving much color (just some tint to it).
Where to apply? On the lips, alone or over another lipstick or liquid lipstick.

Those are all, or almost all the items or products you can find. The brands will add to the formulas things to make them different from other brands.

I hope you enjoyed this topic. In a future topic I will talk about what you "need" to start your makeup kit.

Thanks a lot. See you in the next post, which it'll be about makeup tools.
PS: I don't own the pictures.
