I wanted to share a eyeshadow palette, that I bought several weeks ago with you. It's from SMASHBOX, called the Covershot eyeshadow palette. The one I chose was the Metallic shades.
(Don't be surprised in the size, it is small-fitting into one hand. Cool packaging though, easy to open.)
This palette retails for $29 and has 8 metallic shades. All shades are metallic with sheen, varying in color. As I am usually observant, I noticed if you split it in half there is a warm side of colors and the other half is cooler in tone. None of the shades appeared glittery or over the top 😱when I swatched them.
Be aware, there are no matte shades in this palette. Upon testing these out, the texture was smooth and easy to blend. When using the lighter shades some additional layering may be necessary in achieving your desired look. Applying a shadow base will certainly help in wear time and higher pigment overall, even though the darker shades did apply well in color without it.
If you are a wearer of consistent matte shades and smokey eyes, then I think you might like this palette in adding something different to your everyday routine. You can lighten it up for Spring and still look fabulous in standing out! I would still be sure to add a matte shade if you want to even out the sheen in your crease or on your lid.
For me, I love how easy this palette is for travel purposes. I love the shades. Overall I found that I will need at least 2 matte shades, unfortunately. I want a more balanced look given my age and not so super sheen in pointing out any fine lines.
I am fine with a little shine in creating a more glamourous eye look. I do think the shade selection is good. Glad they didn't include a white or silver, which can give a very dated look to older eyes in the worst way possible! Lol......say no to the frost, ladies! Haha!
(Here are the other shade palettes within this Covershot collection) Sold at Sephora, Smashbox, and Ulta. (Www.sephora.com www.smashbox.com www.ulta.com)
Do you see one you like??
Do you need this? Is it extraordinary? Probably not, if you have many other eye palettes similar in shades. I would say for Smashbox, it is a different formula better than their regular line of shadows.
Let me know if you purchased one of these palettes and your thoughts down below!
Much ❤and hugs always,
JOY
