Thank you for allowing me to review this product BR.
I was crazy excited to be trying this eyeshadow palette because all the colours are me to a T! What beautiful shades!
This palette has twelve gorgeous shades that you can wear during the day right through into the night. Some are matte and some are shimmer . The Perfect Combination.
These eyeshadows have amazing staying power and no fall out at all. All of the colours blend in beautifully together and I've received so many compliments since trialing this palette.
You only need a small amount as the pigment is strong. I would highly recommend an will definitely purchase this palette again as I love the shades and it's made me also want to try and more Maybelline eyeshadows.
I keep it pretty simple with eye makeup generally, so was really excited to receive this Burgundy Bar palette to review.
All the shades are beautiful warm shades - all with a little shimmer. They apply nicely. Not too dark, and not to light, and daytime wear they tend to not wear off too much. They blend really nicely together. The brush - is a dual brush with the sponge on one end, and a brush on the other. Neither were particularly good for applying the eyeshadows for me - and I tended to use my own brushes. The included brushes is handy if it's a palette you're going to keep in the handbag though
On the back of the palette are suggestions for application, using 2, 3 or 4 of the colours. For me, with little experience in elaborate eyeshadow looks, these guides were really helpful. I tended to use the duo suggestions for the daytime, and the trio and quad suggestions for a night out etc. That said - I'm wearing a quad combo today, and with the Colossal mascara to finish the look I'm feeling really glam.
My only negative on this palette is that the eyeshadows themselves are very dry and there was some fall when applying the eyeshadows, but it was relatively minimal. Mostly noticeable when using the darker colours of course. Because the eye shadows are quite powdery, the neat-freak in me found the messiness that the palette gets to a little distracting. One eye-shadow was broken on delivery, so I wonder if it isn't a great travel palette if the powders are a little more fragile - but I may have just been unlucky there.
It's a great palette for those that love nude colours but want the option to glam their look up a little.
Tips: The guides on the back are fabulous if you're wanting to try a few different looks, but don't know where to start!
