Inexpensive but decent
I get compliments on my eye makeup constantly since switching to NYC individual eyes. It really makes my blue eyes pop. I also like that there is a pic on the back how to properly apply the shadow.
It's alright
I purchased this in 943 Smokey Greens for green eyes. I love that they have each section labeled and have a picture in the back showing where to apply the shadows, great for beginners. The shadows themselves don't have the best pigmentation but can be worked with. The middle purple shade being the best in my opinion. I never really bothered with the base but the cream highlighter is great for inner corners. It's a great idea and an affordable price, probably best for beginners to experiment with.
I purchased the 'Green Eyes" Individual palette, even thought I have blue eyes, just because I really liked the colors. They all blend really well together, the transition is seamless, the only thing to note is that the colors even though they appear dark, are not fully pigmented. I found them rather light, I make it work though, and just build up the shadow or use a bit of water on my brush. I love the primer highlighter and gel liner, the three of these are fabulous. For the price of $5.99, its a great day for multiple colors and looks.
I have one of these palettes in the shade Pink Nudes. Some of the eye products in here are very average, but some of them are really great.
Lid Shade: This is a very pale pink-nude meant to be worn all over the lid. The powder itself is very soft, but provides very little pigment. You have to work a very long time to get it to show up even a little bit.
Crease Shade: This is a decent enough colour -- it's highly pigmented, and a little goes a long way -- but I would never, ever use a shimmer in the crease. I may try using this with another palette, and using it in the outer corner or something.
Detail/Contour Shade: This is too similar to the crease shade. It doesn't add much, but the pigmentation is still pretty good.
Highlight/Inner Corner Shade: This is a very pretty, pale pink shimmer. It's basically the lid colour but shimmery,and it actually shows up. This would look nice for a halo eye effect.
Cream Highlight: This looks really nice in the inner corner and under the browbone at first, but as you start blending it out it kind of disappears.
Gel Eyeliner: This is okay, not great. It's a bit too waxy to work perfectly as an eyeliner. It goes on a little streaky, but you can layer it a bit. I'm afraid it'd probably smudge really easily throughout the day.
Cream Primer: This is an interesting one! Because it has a sort of skin tone colour, it offers some coverage for the eyelids for any veins or discolouration you may have. It blends out really nicely and it does seem to make my eyeshadows stay put. I'd go so far as to say it's a dupe for the MAC paint pot!
This is a great little palette to have in your makeup drawer. I originally bought it because I needed some new colours for a one night outfit, then I fell in love. It comes with four colours, a primer and highlighter. The shadow has great pigment and stays on for a good amount of the day. The only thing that I do not like about this product is how easy the shadow flies. The primer and highlighter in two of my palettes are full of shadow, but if this isn't something you're worried about then this is definitely something you should try.
I must say, for a cheap drugstore palette under $10 this is really good quality. I was surprised to see how pigmented the shadows were. But the only disappointing things were the highlighter and primer. They just did not hold the shadows as well as I would have liked. But other than that, I would totally recommend this product to people. And its still worth every penny
Certainly can't complain about the price. The colours won't last all day, even with primer, and not the stuff that comes in the palette. But the colours are pretty, and the kit I bought was meant for brown eyes.
Great for the price you pay. I like the colour pay off and the pallet selection is great. It's convenient having everything you need in one compact, too.
I have used 2 of these already. I like the highlighter for brow and cheekbones. I love how well the colours blend.
