Almay Shadow Squad, Cause A Stir

I received the Almay Squad Eyeshadow Ambition for free in exchange for an honest review. I'm actually not a huge make-up fan and only wear it for special occasions. As a result, I'm not a make-up coordinating pro, and I prefer a natural look. This Almay product was perfect for my needs! Ambition was a great pallet and allowed me to use a few different hues and colors that were pre-matched and guaranteed to look great together. I loved the naural tones and hint of shimmer in two of the shades. Just enough sparkle to be subtle and not obnoxious. Great for my taste! This product does NOT come with an applicator, but I keep a package of applicators handy and sometimes even just use my fingertips for eye shadow application. Almay happens to be my personal choice (and my dermatologist's top choice) for make-up due to its high quality, hypo-allergenic qualities, and reasonable price point. I hope Almay continues to carry this color combination and product for years to come. Will definitely purchase!

This eyeshadow set is a very nice set of colors. They go on without issue but you need to apply several coats to even see the color. That is my beef with them. They are probably fine for a paler person but not on a medium skin tone. They go on smooth, leaving no dry areas, silky smooth but wish the colors were less transparent. I would still recommend them to people that are with/without allergies and may like the lighter colors.
