Last Friday of 2017! Make it count! As for me, I'll make it meaningful as I'm on my way to Tagaytay to bond with the husband and his family...my new family (Awwww).
Before everything else, here's today's FMF courtesy of Eunice:
Hi Ms. Martha,
I've been wanting to create these natural bridal make- up looks lately. What are your top suggestions when it comes to eyeshadow palettes? I've been having a hard time looking for the perfect palette for the natural bridal look since a lot of palettes I know are just powdery and not as pigmented as I want them to be. I'm also having a hard time finding affordable ones that have amazing pigmentation and color selection. Your response would be very much appreciated. :)

Hey Eunice!
Thanks for writing! Oh, I know the dilemma. But thankfully, drugstore brands have improved so much nowadays and it's easy to find an affordable but pretty good eyeshadow palette to help you create the looks your heart desires. I'm sharing my top 6 affordable eyeshadow palettes that will help you cop wedding/bridal eye makeup looks easily and beautifully.
- Pigmentation is medium to heavy and lasts long if worn with an eye primer...yes, that includes even on oily lids. The shadows, given their metallic and frost finish, makes them very easy to blend on the lids.
- The shadows yield minimal fallout; they would also need a primer for them to stay put, but I don't find this an issue because all powder eyeshadows need an eye primer anyway! This product, with its performance, quality, and finish, can be an everyday or PRO product, plus the color selection is pretty sweet! I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for an affordable yet very good go- to matte neutral eyeshadow palette!

- The eyeshadows have medium to heavy pigmentation, smooth, yield minimal fallout, and are easy to blend; I am amazed at the mattes in particular because they're quite easy to work with; matte eyeshadows can be such a pain to deal with, but thank God for Pink Sugar.
- Texture is very smooth, pigmentation is medium and can be built if desired but doesn't get to the point of looking vivid and bold, and the colors are true to the pan. There's still a hint of chalkiness with the powders, but it's quite forgivable- it's not as bad as the previous version.
- La Palette Nude is your new, go- to, on-the-go eye shadow palettes because they're foolproof and universal, not to mention travel- friendly. I'd personally recommend Rose, but Beige is also nice to get because it's a collection of really nice nudes and browns.
6. DETAIL MAKEOVER ECRU AND AUTUMN EYESHADOW PALETTES (P699.00)
- I haven't tried these eyeshadows yet, but a lot have been raving about them online. Maybe it's worth checking out.
- Sleek MakeUP i-Divine is for the serious eye shadow lover who's looking for not necessarily an affordable eye shadow palette, but a palette with a diverse color selection and great pigmentation.
Hope you liked my recommendations! Share your favorite affordable eyeshadow palettes!

ReplyDeleteThe one from Pink Sugar and BYS looks good.
ReplyDeleteI hope I'll be as good as you when it comes to blending, though. :)
When it comes to applying eyeshadows, my problem is not just blending but color selection as well so it helps me a lot if the palette that i'll be using is just quads. Hindi na ako mahihirapan pumili kung alin ba ang mas bagay pagsamahin. Yun kasing maraming kulay na palette, marami rin choices naloloka ako haha!
ReplyDeleteFrom your list, I would want to try the one from BYS. Nakakatuwa bumili ng makeup ngayon season, maraming naka sale at may buy one take one pa.
Let me know what you think of this post! :)
