MEET MATT(E) SHMAKER SHADOW REVIEW

Hello beauties!

During the Christmas period I bought quite a lot of make up – which I'm taking my time to review (but don't worry, I will at some point!). And one of the items I got is this nice eyeshadow palette from a brand called The Balm.

I always wanted to get my hands on this brand as I've been hearing very nice reviews – and let's be honest, the packaging is amazing and i'm a sucker for nice, cute packaging ;_; So when I found this cute shadow palette in offer I couldn't resist myself.

First of all let's talk about the number of shadows and the variety of colours. It has a total of 12 shadows: 6 matte and 6 shimmer. I have to say I like the colour combination, it's very versatile and it allows you to create both day-to-day and dramatic / night looks. Something to point out is that it comes with a dark green matte & shimmer tone which is not very common and I find quite original and out of the ordinary. Also it comes with a nice mirror, which always comes in very handy!

The look I decided to do was inspired by the Ariana Grande positions album (obviously it didn't came out exactly as I was planning to, but I was quite happy with the final result though). Basically my idea was to create a cut crease using nude tones! The tones that I used were very pigmented, i noticed quite a lot of fall-out when picking the shadow but as I always say – that's not really a problem to me. 

They were easy to blend and build up, which was exactly what I was expecting!

In conclusion I'm very happy with the purchase, the eyeshadow palette has good quality and a variety of original and versatile tones, which allows you to play with it and create nice and beautiful looks!

Have you ever tried any product of The Balm?

Would you try this palette?

Kisses!
