Last weekend I had a fancy dress hen to go to, the theme 80s glitz. Naturally my thoughts instantly turned to make-up, neon eye shadow to be precise! And what a great opportunity it was to play with some bright eye shadows, making a change from my usual day to day neutral looks. The only problem was I didn't own any bright eye shadows, I didn't want to spend a fortune on a palette as I rarely, if ever need them. Off I went to Superdrug who had a great selection of affordable eye shadow palettes, I avoided the likes of Revlon and Rimmel as in the past their shadows have creased on me and pretty badly! Revolution had the most impressive selection of bright colours and I eventually settled on the Colour Caos palette.
The Colour Caos palette has 12 shimmer shadows and 6 matte.
At £6 this palette blew my socks off! I didn't have great expectations if I'm honest, all cheaper eye shadows I have tried in the past haven't performed well for me at all! I do have exceptionally oily eye lids and have always had real issues with keeping eye shadow looking good for a whole day or night!
This palette however was not like the others! The shadow stayed put! I finished my make up at around 14:30 and I got back home and removed my make up at around 01:30 and the eye shadow still looked amazing! I was in shock! Not only did they last amazingly well but they have great pigmentation too, the shimmer shades more so than the round matte shades at the bottom of the palette, those I didn't care for they were chalky and patchy when applied so we will forget about those!
Here are a couple of photos of the look I created, please excuse the quality and the fact I didn't think to take a photo with my eyes closed so you could see the whole look. I really wasn't planning on writing a post about this palette but it has impressed me that much I just had too!
