Review Maybelline Smokey Eyes

Left to right: Emerald; Amethyst; Charcoal

These are some of the prettiest eye shadows I've seen. As I said before, I was captivated by the two print ads that I found.

They are very easy to use.

As you can see, labeled into the shadows is where to place the colors, though you could easily use the colors wherever you wanted or even mix between quads.

On the back are several ways to wear each quad:
Subtle: Use only the lid color.
Casual: Use the lid color and the crease color.
Classic Smokey Look: Lid color, crease color, and brow color.
Dramatic Smokey Look: Lid, crease, brow, and outer corners.

I did a dramatic smokey look each time. You can see my looks in my fotds.

My take:
These colors work beautifully together within each quad. They are well pigmented, yet can be layered up to be more intense.

They are less than $5 full price from Target. They are just over $6 regular priced at Walgreen's. If you can get them for BOGO or BOGO 1/2 price, that's even better. But they are worth the money.

I give them 5*.

There are more colors available, and I will likely buy a couple more over time.
