essence quattro eyeshadow & metallic eyeliner review

This eyeshadow quad I picked up a week ago at my HEB is what I wore in my New Years Eve look. It comes in 4 colors a sliver, blue, black with sliver shimmers infused, deeper blue infused with purple shimmers. I used the blues the denim blue is more pigmented than the blue shade, you need to pack on the blue a bit more than the denim blue. For $2.99 its not bad at all. This line is pretty affordable, eyeshadow did last me through the night, still used an eyeshadow base. They are also easy to blend, I also used there metallic blue eyeliner $1.49 what caught my attention, it is a pretty blue eyeliner, then I noticed it is metallic. I used it on my waterline and it does give off a metallic finish but its not a long lasting eyeliner, and not as creamy as there .99 eyeliners. I set it with the blue eyeshadow in the quad palette to make it last longer it did help make it last but in the outer corner it started to fade so I kept setting it with a powder. Overall the eyeliner isn't the best but it is a pretty blue does give off a metallic finish not long lasting, not as creamy but for the price its an okay eyeliner pencil, the eyeshadow quad is also nice, the black and blue shades caught my attention the black isn't as pigmented, the blue shades one is more pigmented than the other, for the price its cheap and affordable. You can find essance cosmetics in HEB or Ulta.



This quad caught my attention for the black & blue shades question is. Are they pigmented? 4 long lasting, trendy shades for creating endless looks, easy to apply.

I was disappointed in the black eyeshadow with one swipe its sheer and shimmery and gives off a sliver color instead of black. You need to pack on more color to get the black to look black. Sliver is pigmented, the blues as you can see one is more pigmented than the other. Overall its a pretty palette!!
 
#05 Heavy Metal it is a pretty blue does give off a metallic finish not long lasting, not as creamy but for the price its an okay eyeliner pencil.

 Here is a swatch of the eyeliner as you can see it has a metallic finish.

Here is what the eyeshadow & eyeliner look like on me. Here I used denim blue in my crease, black in the outer v and the blue in my lid.
