For the beauty addicts, one eyeshadow cannot be enough. It isn't feasible. But, surprisingly, it can be enough for those lazy days when you want wear less but dazzle nonetheless. I've gotten here a list of eyeshadows that you can wear on their own and still dazzle!
Giorgio Armani: Eyes to Kill
Now, these are quite the luxe items I must say! They are called soft eyeshadows that look more like a pressed pigment to me. Meaning, they do fly loose and so the package comes with a block press down thing so that you can always keep the pigments in tack. But, I must say that besides them being so loose sometimes, they are super velvety and uber-pigmented. Their eyeshadows have to be one of the best out there in the market.
- No. 27 - craziest pink in town. A pink with hues of blue and green and gold. Sweep this on, or rather pack it on and let it glitter away!
- No. 26- gold. you want soft velvet luxe gold on your eyes, this is it.
- No. 24- the baddest of the smokey eyes! Seductive in it's dark brown hue with bursts of golden nuggets! Build this from right along the lash line and up, smoking it out by blending it. You'll get this intense smokey effect!
Chanel Eyeshadow Style
Need I say more about them? I've featured them on my blog before and they are crazy good. It's limited edition for now I think, so go grab some if you'd like. They are good all on their own. Why? The sparkle catches the light and contours your eyes as is. Love.
- Moon River
- Pink Lagoon
MAC
Not all from MAC can be worn on their own. They weren't meant to so it doesn't matter. But these two in particular look perfect on their own.
- "Beaming" Pressed pigment- I've blogged about this before. Wet eyes on a different level. The gleam it gives isn't "sparkly" in the glittery-kind but in the wet-kind. It looks dark brown in the pan but swatched, it has the bronze, burnt-orange tone and it goes really well with orange blushes :)
- Sumptuous Olive- I bought this because the PersianBabe on Youtube listed this as one of her favorite eyeshadows and she always pulls off the greatest looks. It is simply as lovely as she described it to be. It's a green/gold with a brown undertone. In the pan, it looks green but when you swatch it it turns brown. But when you pack it on, then the green shines through again! Lovely. It lovely on it's own because it catches the light in a way where the green and brown/gold give such a wonderful mix. So, that by itself gives the illusion that it is two colors and not one :)
Maybelline
The cheapest of the bunch but pretty darn good! It's a cream kind, and it's the brown/bronze with silver hints kind. It's pretty good. And cheap. And long-lasting. And, I blogged about this one too.
- Color Tattoo in "Bad to the Bronze"
So, next time you don't want to do your eyes with too much pressure and you'd rather have the eyeshadows themselves do the job, try these. They make life dazzle :)
This is beautiful!! AND SO YUMMY! Thanks for the swatches! :)
