Current Favourite Eyeshadow Palettes

Eyeshadow has never really been my favourite part of my make up routine, I find it can be messy and as I'm someone who prefers to apply my concealer before I create any eye look, fall down is at times inevitable and thus super annoying. Despite this, with great eyeshadow palettes making a home in my collection I find myself enjoying the process of applying eyeshadow more now, and these products are a huge reason why. 

All three of these have separate but equally positive reviews on my blog and they all very quickly became fast favourites of mine after the first use. Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Luxury Palette, Make Up Geek Eyshadows in a small Z Palette and MeMeMe Cosmetics Ultimate Eye Palette Soft Rose. 

Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Luxury Palette: With a clue in the name, this is a luxurious palette, pricey at £38 as expected of Charlotte Tilbury, but worth the money all the same. All four shades are different, but equally lovely, and this palette in particular is very versatile, helping to create perfect differing looks for day time through to night. Full review here.

Make Up Geek Eyeshadows & Z Palette: I was so happy when these were finally made available for UK purchase on Beauty Bay and have a review here of the first three shades I picked out. I recently purchased three more and I am so happy with the colours I added to my collection 'latte,' taupe notch' and 'mocha' all compliment each other when used together or work well on their own. I really recommend Make Up Geek eye shadows, there are so many colours to choose from, they are easy to blend and all super pigmented. Z Palette, also available at Beauty Bay have a range of different sizes and colours to choose from to store your eye shadows in. 

MeMeMe Cosmetics Ultimate Eye Palette Soft Rose: Eight subtle but lovely shades to choose from, a mix of matte and shimmer shades, these are not overly pigmented, but they can be easily built up, and the palette comes with a handy brush. Read more about it here, plus more products from MeMeMe Cosmetics.

Make Up Geek eyeshadows and Z Palette

L-F: Bitten, Cocoa Bear and Creme Brulee

As soon as I found out that Beauty Bay were stocking Make Up Geek and Z Palettes I went straight ahead and made an order. These products are raved about by instagrammers and bloggers and after reading so many great reviews for so long, I am so happy they are available for UK purchase. Make Up Geek have three types of eyeshadows available for purchase on Beauty Bay; 'eyeshadow pans' (£4.95), 'duochrome eyeshadow pans' (£4.95) and 'foiled eyeshadow pans.' (£7.95) I chose to start off my collection with a few from the 'eyeshadow pan' section. 

I pondered over shades of eyeshadows on the site for ages before I made my decision on three to start off my collection and fill my Z Palette with. I chose 'Bitten', 'Cocoa Bear' and 'Creme Brulee' all shades that I think suit my eye colour best, and all great for creating a natural or more heavy eye look. 

I am so impressed with how pigmented these are (unfortunately the image above doesn't pick up the colour that well), the colour pay off is super, but also really easy to blend and build up. All three shades I picked are matte, 'Bitten' although a matte shade, feels so creamy you would not think it was a matte eyeshadow, it is a deep purple, burgundy shade, the more pigmented of the three in my opinion. 'Cocoa Bear' is my favourite, it is a warm red toned brown and I think it is complimentary for every eye colour. 'Creme Brulee' is a neutral shade but does have warmth to it, I like using it as a transitional or outer corner colour, but I also think it looks lovely on its own.
