Maybelline ExpertWear Eye Shadow Quad

This budget friendly Maybelline eyeshadow definitely does the trick! The colours included are quite neutral and easy to work with, suiting all kinds of occasions, whether it be professional and classy for the workplace, or glammed up for a night out on the town. The price for value is actually very good, and I feel like my palette has lasted almost a year now, and thats with regular usage! I am a big fan of the clear instructions on the back, they are really good for beginners and a younger crowd, but with more practise I've found the colours can be blended and put on in various ways by experimenting with them. In terms of the actual quality of  this Maybelline eyeshadow, I have to say I do find that I need regular touch ups to keep the product looking nice all day long. I recommend bringing the eyeshadow in your handbag with you, especially in hot weather, because I find it just doesn't last as long as it could. For myself the product can get a tad bit smudgy, and gather in my eye creases, so I always keep an eye out for how it is holding up. Although it is not the longest lasting eyeshadow i have ever used, I am still super duper pleased with the finished result and how lovely the colours complement my skin tone. I do recommend trying the Maybelline eyeshadow, but just be sure to touch it up as you go, especially in the heat of summertime. I think this eyeshadow is a winner for me! 

I love the 40Q Designer Chocolates eyeshadow palette. However, after being a loyal customer for years, I will be going to another brand because applicators are no longer being included.These quads are great for travel being small and compact. Large makeup brushes are NOT. Besides, makeup brushes do not offer the same coverage that the applicators do.
