Hello everyone,
Ever since nykaa came out with eyes on me eyeshadow palette range last year, I have been going back and forth if I needed this, and in the end I gave in to my temptation. The eyes on me eyeshadow range consists of five variants, they are Smokey at 8!, Beach side peach, Daydreaming, Sundowner stunner and Tinsel twilight.
Price
INR 599 for 12gm
Packaging: The palette is of rectangular packaging where the lid of it is clear plastic and you can see the shades through it. Comes with a double ended cushioned applicator.
The packaging is not sturdy enough, light weight so while traveling its best to carry it in the cardboard packaging it comes in. The inside of the cardboard, the palette is wrapped with a protective thick sheet that does shield it from any damage.
Features
- The palette includes complementary shades to create.
- You can create versatile looks.
- High Pigment properties.
- You get 10 hour wear.
- Easy to blend.
My Experience
First off nykaa has nailed this range, the colour payoff is really good. The five variants includes shades that are definitely complementary to each other when doing the makeup. Although I do feel these remind me of the urban decay eyeshadow palettes, some of them atleast in terms of their color choice. Regarding the claims made by the brand, I totally agree. For the price that you get, this is bang on. The only thing is that I am not fond of the flimsy packaging but you can’t complain as the quality of these eyeshadows are very good.
The shades in this palette, all are well pigmented and they apply like butter the shimmers, and mattes apply softly except for the black shade which swatches not evenly but when you apply it on the lids it is fine. The texture is smooth, easy to blend. The shades are buildable as well. I didn’t find much use for the applicator that comes with it as I am not fond of those types. The Smokey at 8! Eyeshadow palette consist of 6 mattes and 4 shimmers. The mattes include one black, two browns of which one is warm toned and the other is cool toned. The rest three mattes are your basic nudes in different tones of beige, peach and pink. The shimmers consists of gold, bronze, copper and nude shades. If you are looking for that one palette which is basic and has the necessary nudes, then this is the one. I would say this is an essential eyeshadow palette for all those makeup enthusiasts out there. The colors in it complement each other and it’s your basic everyday palette whether for work or casual outing. Available at nykaa stores and online.
