For some strange reason when I go shopping for make up, I am always drawn to neutral colours. I think one of the reasons why I always end up with conservative colours so I can wear it to work to get the most value out of my money. When I saw Face of Australia Colour Max Eyeshadow Palette in Gold Mine* on their website - I wanted it! Each compact features 4 beautiful colours.
According to FOA "Soft, silky formula glides on effortlessly and lasts from day to night without fading or creasing."
I love the 'how to' guide at the back of the palette, great for newbies like me who usually buys a palette but have no idea where to put what lol
When swatching, I found 'a' was really hard to get the colour on my arm because it's suppose to be a slight simmer on the eyelids. I just love 'd' its a really warm gold colour, applies like butter!
Application:
- Can be applied wet or dry. I've always applied it on dry, feels weird having wet stuff on my eyes.
Additional info:
- RRP $10.95
- Available Big W, Priceline, Kmart or Online
- Made in PRC
- Not tested on animals
Pros:
- Colours blend easily
- Good color pigmentation
- Love the packaging
- Absolutely love the instructions on the back
Cons:
- Applicator might be too small if you have fat fingers like me lol
Overall: This is a really good quality product for its price. This eye shadow can last a few hours with no primer on (my eye lids get oily easily) and with primer it's about all day.To get around the applicator problem I just used my own eye brushes.
Have you tried this eyeshadow? What are your thoughts?
Thanks for reading!!!
