If you have a lot of people to shop for and you don’t want
to break the bank this holiday then Avon has a great selection of affordable
gifts to choose from. For the beauty lovers on your list who want to dapple in
pretty color the Makeup Design Eye Shadow Palette contains almost everything
you need to create a range of awesome looks including 21 eye shadows, 6 lip
glosses, 3 blushes, 1 bronzer and 1 instruction booklet.
The versatile shades are very trendy and ideal for many
complexions from light to dark and everything in-between. I love the beautiful
jewel tones and the flattering everyday shades which includes nude, bronze,
earth, gold, peach and petal- a pretty purple-pink. You also have the option of
creating deep smokey looks with the ebony, midnight and navy hues as well as
shimmery party looks with aluminum silver, grape, glittery teal and copper.
The pigmentation is not as intense or bold as the shadows
from mark which you can also find on Avon’s website but they can be enhanced with layering and a good primer. There are also a
few matte hues which is always more versatile and although the shadows aren’t fierce the
texture is silky smooth with very little fallout despite some shades being embedded
with glittery particles.
The blush is actually my favorite thing about the palette, the
bronze and plum hues warm up the skin and highlight with a hint of shimmer
while the rose and peach hues add radiant color to brighten the complexion and they are't too loud so you won't end up with that clown effect.
The lip glosses have a nice creamy texture for juicy color
and a hint of plumping shine. The formula is also quite moisturizing although
the palette didn’t come with any applicators which makes it difficult to re-apply on the go.
The instruction manual is a good idea for beginners but it
isn’t extensive so you will have to look elsewhere for most of your
inspiration. Overall this is a decent palette if you want to experiment with
color but the quality isn’t quite there for professional, high-impact results. If you are
looking for beautiful shadows with great pigmentation on Avon's website check out my last review on mark's Dream Sequins Palette by clicking HERE.
The palette retails for $30.00 and you can pick it up at avon.ca or through independent consultants.
This palette looks lovely! Great deal.
