Maybeline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Review

Happy Friday Hautees!

Today's post is a budget friendly product that I found at Terry White Chemists- Maybeline Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quad in Amethyst Smoke.

What Maybeline Says:

Why you'll love it

Four coordinated eye shadows provide fade-proof colour that remains true.

- Advanced formula glides on effortlessly with superior smoothness.

- Velvet-tip applicator blends without tugging or pulling.

- All-day crease-resistant wear.

- Also available in a new Stylish Smokes range.

For Best Results

Sweep the lighter shade onto your lid. Blend the medium shade into your crease. Apply the lightest shade to your browbone and the inner corner of your eye. Blend the darkest shade into the outer corner and long lower lash line

What I Say:

As soon as I saw these colours from across the room I fainted with delight then sprinted to the Maybeline stand! I'm having a really big purple moment right now and am attracted to said hue like a moth to the flame! I mean seriously how INSANE is the top left purple!? SWOOOOON!

I've swatched the shadows in artificial light:

So as you can see, the colour payoff is not that great when swatched, but when applied to the eye the colours seem to explode off the lid! I'm not sure why... because the skin is of a different texture? Anywho, here is my look:






This quad was a dream to use. The colours were very easy to apply and the explanation of how to blend the different shades really helps when you're having a blank moment. There is a bit of fall out with these shadows to ensure you do your eyes before your foundation. The black shadow needed to be watered down to get a good pay off, but I can deal with that!

I will definitely be purchasing more of these shadows- I love them! They are really great for a girl on a budget and they are easily accessible!

This quad retails for $16.95 at Target, Kmart, Terry White Chemists, Priceline, Myer and David Jones!

FOTD- Dramatic Winged Eye

Today's FOTD is a DRAAAAAAMATIC winged eye with neutral lips and natural skin!



Hope you all like!

"Hmm should I really buy some more lipstick?"





And a close up of the eyes and lips:
I *tried* to get a straight line by using scotch tape as a stencil on my lids. Any stray black bits were erased with FACE OF AUSTRALIA make up remover and a cotton tip.


 

Lips achieved by lining with Chanel Lip Liner in "Peche" and Illamasqua Lipstick in "Obey" over the top

What I used:

Base
FOA Face Base Primer
Chanel Pro Lumiere Foundation #20
Illamasqua Powder Foundation (not sure of the colour- it's not on the back!)

Cheeks
FOA Pressed Powder in Bronze- used as a contour

Eyes
FOA Black Liquid Eye Liner
Scotch Tape as a stencil
Some random black eyeshadow that was roaming around my beauty kit

Lips
Chanel Lip Liner "Peche"
Illamasqua Lipstick in "Obey"

As usual, I have not retouched my pics and I've used harsh lighting so I "real" and "natural".

Please let me know what you all think! If you want me to do a certain "look" let me know and I'll try my hardest!

Keep it Haute!
