Mark Cosmetics Buenos Aires Caliente Eyes Eye Shadow Palette

When it comes to vibrant color and trendy cosmetics mark has a great variety. The Buenos Aires Vibe Collection includes a fabulous fragrance and products for the eyes, face, nails and lips that all evoke a fun tropical vibe.

The palette includes 5 gorgeous hues: 4 shimmer shades ranging from light gold, brassy bronze, silvery pink, deep navy and soft, matte purple. These shades are suitable for luminous day looks and alluring smokey eyes for romantic summer nights.

The shadows have a smooth, non-creasing texture but the pigmentation and coverage is quite sheer unless you enhance the intensity with a good primer and some layering as I've done in the swatches below. The shimmery hues are matched beautifully so you can mix and match for different effects and they tend to stay put with a base. Despite the silky consistency the yellow shadow may appear a tad chalky until blended and although I was hoping for a bit more vividness the colors are still useable and quite pretty.

Although most of the hues are shimmery I didn’t experience much fall-out and I’ve used them on my lids, to deepen the crease, highlight under the brows and around the inner corners of the eyes for a luminous effect. You can purchase this palette at avon.ca and through independent consultants for $26.00.

Since a gorgeous glow and shimmery shades are popular all year round you may also want to check out the Glowdacious Illuminating Powder, available in 3 pretty compacts. I have the color- Prettied Up with three highlight shades for a brilliant finish. Each color provides a different effect but these hues are soft and quite subtle. If you prefer a sunkissed finish the deeper compacts are great for maintaining a golden complexion. The powders retail for $16.00 each.
