Maybelline came out with three eye shadow palettes recently.
The “nudes”, “smokes”, and the “vibrants”. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find
the vibrants for sale anywhere, but to be honest, after my experience with the
nudes and smokes palettes it doesn’t bother me anymore. The packaging is chic and
the palettes are pretty lightweight. I have used both palettes a few times and
although the colors are perfect, the color payoff isn’t that good. I enjoy
doing swatches of eye shadows but it wasn’t so fun with these palettes because
I struggled to get the colors to show up on my hand. Applying eye shadow on
your eyes is different than applying eye shadow on your arm, but for me my
experience with these two palettes was the same. I suggest using a white base
on your eyelids to improve the shadows intensity. I also found that applying
these while your brush is a little bit damp could also increase the colors
intensity. Although I had to pack on the color consistently to get some decent
color, I did like that there was little no almost any fallout. Overall I would
say that these eye shadows are okay for the price ($10). I didn't enjoy them as much as I thought I would. Maybelline has some great eye
shadow products which is why I am surprised. I feel like I almost hit the pan
just by trying to swatch them!

This is a simple look I did using the smokes palette with three colors. The picture was taken outdoors in natural light. You be the judge. Leave your thoughts below!
