Almay Almay Eyeshadow, 0.12 oz

I use only 1 or 2 shades at a time for a quick subtle highlight on just my lids and below lower lash line. I like that there are a range of flat to different levels of glittery and it can be applied very faintly or in heavier layers. Versatile for various clothing matches and occasions. I like a "barely there" look most of the time but a touch of eye makeup makes a noticeable difference and the sparkles can be applied subtly enough for professional-environment daily use. Throwing Shade and Ambition are my most frequent, with Individualist occasionally in the mix, and I'm looking forward to trying Cause A Stir.

I love these! I have 5 or 6 and they are my go-to eyeshadows. Why? They give a sheer wash of color that's easy to blend, doesn't look heavy, and looks lovely. I use one of the shimmery shades in the center of my lid, and blend it out with a darker shade on the outer edge. At first I was frustrated that they weren't more pigmented, but as I get older, a sheer wash looks much more fresh and keeps my eyes from looking too heavy. Now I'm glad they are just what I need! They could probably get away with having only 2 shades in the palette. I'm medium~olive Mediterranean skinned with brown eyes, and Ambition and Oyster are my favorites.
