e.l.f Essentials Brightening Eye Color

Look for $2 online you can't really go wrong, I don't wear eyeshadow that often and when I do I prefer a natural look. This eyeshadow in Brownstone is very natural and flattering for my pale skin, the darkest colour is a lovely pigmented charcoaly brown that is less harsh than black. The lightest colour is skin toned and the second colour is a lovely taupe, the third colour is a darker brown that I really like. They are all decently pigmented and blend well.

This neutral e.l.f trio was my first ever eyeshadow palette and I've been searching for it ever since I ran out (fortunately I just discovered IHerb so we will be reunited very soon). This is the shadow I compare all other to because each shade is so perfect. Most of the time with neutral trios and quads I find them too shimmery or the browns too dark, which means I can end up looking like a raccoon when I only want a natural look.

I never had this problem with e.l.f shadows :) it's a really affordable product that is a great makeup staple

I liked the look of this because I like browny/neutral colours. I had my daughter order this off a website for me and it was very affordable.

I usually use a sponge applicator or even my fingers to put this on and I have had a few compliments from people telling me how nice and natural this looks.

Because these are so pretty and affordable - and easy to use, I want to try other shades from this brand. These are really nice.

I really like this eye shadow the 4 colours are a great neutral blend, I apply my e.l.f. primer first and have no problem with the colours budging. the shades are not overwhelming with the lightest shade being skin colour and the darkest being more of a charcoal, they blend very well together to give your eyes the shadowed look.

The packaging is very basic, a white plastic case with clear plastic lid, it comes with an applicator which is helpful.

For a neutral shaded palette, I would recommend this .

easy to apply and the colours are in order eg: lightest to darkest.

I had no sensitivity to this product.

I used this every day when I first purchased it! Great for creating a neutral eye for a good price. I found the pigmentation good and it lasted a reasonable time on my lids. Easy to blend.

I am a fan of E.L.F. products - usually a reasonable quality for the price. This is no different.

I do like the colour combo - all match and can be blended for a lovely look. I like the size of the compact as it is great to take on the run with you. And of course, I love the price (I paid less then $10 for mine).

However, I find that this eyeshadow does not last all day and is not very pigmented. This can be a good thing in that it allows you to build up the colour, but also a bad in that you need to cake it on almost.

Overall, I might buy it again as it would be a good product to throw in a handbag for touch ups during the day, but I wouldn't use it as a main eyeshadow product simply because I like my makeup to last and be reasonably pigmented.

I'm not big on eyeshadow always going for neutrals tones rather than bright or sparkly ones so i decided to give this one a go because of the respectable brand and low price. I use this palette with e.l.f mineral eyeshadow primer which i think makes quite the difference in application and staying power as opposed to not using a primer. The four hues in this palette blend really well together to form a sublte smokey eye and they are colours that will suit any colour of eyes. The eyeshadow does tend to flake and fall a little upon application but it's nothing that i can't swiftly touch up with a sponge and bit of concealer. Does it brighten the eyes? I think so, any neutral shade does regardless of eye colour..? This eyeshadow needs to be used with a primer for staying power, but other than that is a decent product for the price.

Purchased from kmart for a dollar earlier this year as it was slightly damaged. Has been a staple in my make up kit as an easy to use no fuss look. Didn't come with a mirror as stated which was inconvenient but over liked the product.

I love E.L.F products! And this is about $1 not $10 from purchasing overseas in a set. So for $1 it is an amazing product, however I did find it slightly chalky on my eye lids and the colour pay off isn't outstanding but you can't go wrong for a buck! :)

These eyeshadows are seriously dirt cheap!! Some shades has amazing pigmentation and some are really bad quality. Overall it's a little bit more on the powdery side not buttery at all, but for the price you pay for they're still good products for sure!

The most pigmented one is probably "Day 2 Night" out of the whole colour range!
