Part One: Single Eyeshadows

This weekend I'm going to be showing you my single eyeshadows. I don't have that many, but I get use out of all of them. Most people don't like singles eyeshadows because they're "extras." I personally love them; it's the perfect way to start with eyeshadow. 

The first one I got in an Ipsy bag! It's by the brand Pacifica in the color Ethereal (beige champagne with a sheen). It is a very smooth formula, but it could be considered powdery. The pigmentation is decent for such a light color; with one swipe you get a shear finish but, with two you can build up the color. One complaint I have is when you blend it out, the color disappears. The brand does not sell singles on the website or in stores, but you can buy pallets with 4 eyeshadows for $14. 

Next is the Dual-Intensity eyeshadow by Nars in the color Dione (metallic rosy pewter). The point of these eyeshadows is to be used wet to get an even more metallic finish. I love this one even though I don't get much use out of it. The "wet" look gives more drama making it difficult  to wear everyday. (I wore it to Homecoming). You could totally use this dry: it would be less pigmentd but would be beautiful. The formula is very smooth and blendable when dry. You have to work fairly fast to bend when it is dry. This eyeshadow retails for $29. It is expensive, but in my opinion, one of the best eyeshadows to be used wet. 

This next product was the first eyeshadow I ever got. It is from T. LeClerc, which is a high end brand that not a lot of people know of, and it is based in Paris. It use to be sold at Barney's but is now sold only online. I have the shade 104 Desert (gold beige with light shimmer). The formulation is very smooth and could be considered creamy. Out of all the eyeshadows, this is the most bendable. The color stays in its spot while lightly spreading outwards while blended. This is the perfect eyeshadow for everyday/lazy day makeup. I really recommend this product! ($22)

This eyeshadow is by Clinique in the color Ballet Flats (light pink with gold shimmer). The formulation is my least favorite; it's not horrible, but is a little powdery. The pigmentation is good for such a light color. My favorite thing about the eyeshadow is its color. I don't see a lot of pinks with gold shimmer. This retails for $15. 

The next eyeshadow is from Stila in the color Kitten (champagne). The brand is known for this eyeshadow; it is absolutely beautiful and one of my favorites. The formulation is by far the best, it is so creamy and pigmented. My favorite use for this is in the inner corners of my eye (blended carefully) and on top of darker cream eyeshadows. This retails for $18; I highly recommend this product. 

The last eyeshadow is by Pixi, a brand sold only at Target, in the color Nude Nouveaux (champagne with purple/brown undertones). The formulation is very similar to the T. LeClerc one but creamier. The pigmentation is amazing for being considered a "drugstore" brand. This could be used as a darker all-over-the-lid color or blended into the crease. When blended the pigmentation does weaken. This product is $15. 

Hope you enjoyed my single eyeshadow reviews! Look back next weekend for my eyeshadow palettes.
