Eye Make-up Primers & Eye Shadows!

Prime, Sparkle & Shine Eye Make-up!

This Blog post features my favourite amazing eye shadow products and eye primers to keep your eye make up on for longer!

 

 

Primers!

 

Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - original - £16 (Debenhams)

Fantastic handy make-up item for keeping eyeshadow's and eyeliners in place all day and night long! Smooth's out the eyelid for any imperfections for a clear base and enhances colours of eyeshadow's, doesn't make eyeshadow crease! Smooth's on easily! Only small pea sized amount needed, it is worth the money!

L'Oreal Paris -  Color Riche Eye Primer Base - £5.99 (Boots)

Fantastic cheaper alternative for the urban decay eyeshadow primer! It helps set the eyelid as a smooth base to enhance eyeshadow colours that you apply. I did find this didn't go on as easily it as a crayon texture where as the urban decay was a cream. However, it does help keep eye make-up products on for longer!

 

 

Eyeshadows!

 

Lancôme - Ombre Absolue  - C90 Black Green - £16.50 (Debenhams) [back row, individual square case in pic]

Lovely smooth eyeshadow that blends well on eyelid. Brilliant shade if you are looking for a darker shade for smoky eye look but not as intense as a black with the hint of green. The green doesn't really show through the product and mainly comes across as a darker grey shade but in certain lights it can look a hint of green.

 

No7 - Stay Perfect Eyeshadow - Matte Mocha - £7 (Boots) [Middle at back in picture]

This eyeshadow is great for creating a darker look around the crease of eyelid or corners of eyelid against a lighter shade of creams, golds and browns. Smooth texture that allows it to blend easily and long lasting wear. Great for a natural looking smoky eye!

 

Maybelline - 24hr Colour Tattoo Cream Gel eyeshadow- Pink Gold - £4.99 (Superdrug) [Back right in pic]

One of my favourite every day eyeshadows to wear! Works well own its own with a light rose pink colour but hint of gold shimmer colour through. Perfect for when in a rush or going for a more light make up look! Also works well as a base coat and blending natural colour eyeshadows on top for a more detailed look! Available in a variety of shades & for under £5 it is definitely worth a try!

 

French Connection - Eyeshadow Collection - £12 (French connection) [large palette on right side in pic]

A great product for travelling with the sleek design that is light and easy to carry with a huge mirror on other side. The set comes in a mixture of natural, brighter & darker colours that are either in smooth or shimmer look! The pigmentation isn't the best from the eye shadows compared to other brands but for the price its great for taking on holiday instead of carrying a mixture of similar shades as they are all on the one palette.

 

Smashbox - Wonder Vision - Flash - £22 (Smashbox)

Beautiful shades of pinks and purples that blend well together. The more glittery shades don't last as long when wearing but do look great when applied! The more softer tones look great as a base and the adding darker purple shade at corner and crease creates a gorgeous dramatic look! Although it doesn't hold as well on eyelids the shades of the colours do make up for it as they are beautiful!


No7 - Stay Perfect Eyeshadow - Starry lights - £7 (Boots) [Front left in pic]

Lovely shade of golden/creamy tone with shimmer throughout the product! Very pigmented and looks great for a more glamorous natural look with the shimmer also looks great blended with a darker shade of brown!


Too Faced - The Return of Sexy Palette - £38.50 (Boots)

One of my absolute favourite eyeshadow palettes! It is Amazing! The product contains 15 varied shades of eyeshadows from naturals to greys and purples allowing you to create day and night looks easily! Comes with a waterproof eyeliner and also three 'how to create...' look cards which is brilliant for people who are unsure how to blend and what colours to use for certain areas of eyelids for creating the perfect look! I love this palette so much as it has a variety of smooth matte shadows to glittery and sparkly shades that allow you to create a mixture of looks!
