Referring back to my previous Make up Monday I focused on the bringing out of pastel colours, therefore for this blog post I have decided to write similarly on the same lines, but this time i am looking at eye shadows. This is also similarly to a classic review on them as they are all the same products just with different colours. The product which I will be reviewing is the Rimmel London Glam Eyes eye shadow palettes.
1. This is Rimmel London's trio palette in 'Sumptuous Tourmaline'. From its appearance, you may guess that it's more suited for a winter or autumn season, however this can be used for the brighter weathers, especially with the lightest shade, being a pastel lilac colour. The pigmentation however is minimal and applies a light shimmer, therefore if you're opted more for a coloured shade, possibly the second darkest in the palette would be best to use. The darkest shade would be best used for defining the crease as this gives a strong result, or on the outer corner, replacing the use of an eyeliner, as this would give a softer look. Overall this palette would be also ideal for a night out because of it's high result of shimmer.
2. State of Grace is possibly the best palette for this season as it ranges from blue, silver and purple which typically describes spring and summer. It also gives you a variety of combinations of eye looks as its gives you different colours which all go together. The blues can be paired together, with the lightest blue all over the lid and the darkest creating an ombre effect. Or on the other hand the blue and purple can be paired together to create a complete different look. Pretty much all these palettes have the similarity of having shimmer rather than a matte finish. This definitely shows through with the metallic silver colour which gives an awesome result from its strong pigmentation. This would work well in the inner corner, or for creating a dramatic look on the brow bone and arch. Overall if you like to experiment with colours and creating different looks, this palette would be great in achieving them.
3. Sapphire Moonstone is actually the least one I have used, predominantly as I have purchased it not that long ago. Although from it's appearance I know I will make use of it. Particularly with it's flesh colour, which is a great everyday and wearable colour. The navy blue again is suited more for the winter and autumn season however could be worn in a way to suit the lighter seasons. I intend to use the black shadow as either the crease or on the outer corner. Although from it's shimmer finish again, I would personally focus on using this on a night out.
4. Beauty Spells is similar to State of Grace, with its quad style and the ranges of colours it offers. It also used the same metallic silver colour which is very versatile. It does however offer a dusky pink and a lilac color, alike in Sumptuous Tourmaline. From the image, it presents that I have currently hit pan on the black shade in the palette. I use this for defining the crease and occasionally under the lash line, because I prefer to create a softer look. To summarize, if you are possibly new to trying out eye shadows, this palette would be relevant to you and worth trying, as the lightest colours give a soft toned outcome, and can be developed in creating a bolder look.
5. Orion is my favourite palette from this collection as well as in general of all eye shadow's. This is also my second purchase, as I hit pan on all the shades from my previous one and eventually couldn't get anything from it. The three colours are so wearable, although from its shimmery finish, it appears very lightly. They all give great pigmentation, literally just with one coat, it gives an amazing colour. I wear this all day and it stays there all day, I also don't experience any fall out either during the application or throughout the day, which equals to a convenient advantage. Overall this is personally the best palette to go for if you're looking for a simple natural look and again can be worked with to create an evening look.
These palettes all cost at £6.99. However both Boots and Superdrug offer these eye shadow's to be sold singularly, which cost at £4.49.
