Everyone has some type of makeup they out-rightly fail at applying. Eyeshadow happens to be mine. However, I had a journalism banquet to attend, and I wanted to glam up a bit which meant attempting at a nice eyeshadow look. I'm one for smokier eye looks, so I gravitated towards the NYX Smokey Fume eyeshadow palette consisting of six eyeshadows and one small double-sided brush. The palette consists of two shimmery and four matte shades. The pigmentation is nothing out of this world and a bit much for it's $7.50 price (Target and on the NYX website). Heads have probably turned at this point with my remark; however, considering that there are highly pigmented drugstore options at a much lower price (Wet n' Wild), I am a bit disappointed. With that said, I really like this palette because I think all six of the shades are quite versatile and wearable. Being that I don't expect to buy many eyeshadow palettes, I appreciate that I can use all six shades.
What is your favorite eyeshadow palette? Do you have any favorite products from NYX?

you're right, the pigmentation does seem like it could improve. i heard wet n' wild shadows are amazingly pigmented for such a bargain. the colors are gorgeous though!
ReplyDeleteI use NYX palettes all the time! I've been using this brand for years now as it's cheap but pretty lasting quality. My current favorite is the "Paris" palette I picked up from Target.
ReplyDeleteI really love NYX products, although I've never actually tried one of their palettes before xx

the dark shades here are great for smokey eyes but i would have liked to see maybe one more mid-tone shade for blending.
