E.L.F 100 EYE SHADOWS PALETTE + EYE MAKEUP LOOKS

Hello beauties,

Every girl loves eye makeup.Those who don't, just dislike the effort behind it and not the makeup itself.So,today I have a post that my readers will like for sure.Its an eye shadow palette. Yayyy.

Whats more is that its a vegan palette.Halal,carmine free eye shadows.Cherry on the top is the price.Its drugstore and totally affordable.You guessed it...E.L.F 100 eye shadow palette.


E.L.F 100 EYE SHADOWS PALETTE


I really wanted this one since a long time.However,it was always out of my reach because of price issues.Then I could never find comprehensive reviews on this palette.The swatches online were never enough to satisfy my curiosity.So,I never took the chance of spending nearly 3000pkr.

Then I found a great deal on it and needless to say I got it ^_^


E.L.F 100 EYE SHADOWS PALETTE






E.L.F 100 EYE SHADOWS PALETTE




























I got this palette from Dhanak in PKR1550.Here is the haul post.


This palette is a combination of matte, shimmery and pearly eye shadows.The same palette was launched by E.L.F in "Spring Edition" which had more shimmery shades.It was marble palette.However,I wanted a balanced blend so I got the simple one.



The matte shades finish is distributed on the spectrum of satin to chalky.The lighter shades in the first column are chalky and pose a lot of difficulty in application.All other colors have satin texture.Some pearly ones even have velvety texture(especially 11-15 and 84).



The colors,though sheer on first application are quite build able.The vibrance increases when shades are worn over primer.These color will get as good as your primer.So,make sure you have a good one in stash.Without primer this palette is not of much use.



Pigmentation and color pay off varies a lot.Some matte shades like jade green(25),dirty green(30),brown(20,57,83,87,90),Midnight blue(40),pink(50,53,59) and red(70) have good pigmentation and color pay off,but all the matte shades in column 1 are a real disappointment..The matte white color is just ,well...Meh.I find myself reaching out for my NYX jumbo pencil in "milk" more and more when I want a richer hue of matte white.However,I do use the white eye shadow on my brow bone for a subtle highlight.


The pearly and shimmery shades all have good color pay off as is clearly visible in swatches.Even the pearly white(92) is satisfactorily pigmented.On that note do take a look at that gorgeous purple(38) and electric blue(39).They have to be the best pigmented of the lot.

The color black(99) is not the blackest black.It looks closer to a deep,dark grey.This was a real let down for me.A big palette should have a rich black shade in it.

.

My favorites are jade green.It has matte finish with tiny specks of glitter.Buck brown(20),electric blue(38),red(70)metallic grey brown(80),shimmery brown(88).


Note that column 71 to 90 has Urban Decay NAKED 1,2 dupes and I can spot some NAKED 3 dupes in column 51-60.Below is a comparison photo.(The Naked swatches have been taken from google images.).

GOOD POINTS:


1)-Vegan.Carmine free

2)-Affordable

3)-Variety of shades.Matte,shimmery and metallic shades in one.

4)-Dupe of NAKED palette.



BAD POINTS:


1)-Some colors are not pigmented at all.Other have average pigmentation and color pay off.70% colors will not do well without primers.

2)-Availability might be a problem.

3)-Packaging feels flimsy and easily breakable.



Overall the palette is a good bargain for beginners.It has a variety of colors which allows experimentation.The problem of pigmentation gets solved to some extent with a primer underneath.I suggest Urban Decay Primer Potion or Makeup Academy Eye shadow primer.The build able pigmentation allows for easy blending, which is great since most beginners are not good at blending.


If you are into carmine free,vegan products this palette is a must have for you since other options in vegan makeup like "Makeup geek" and "Inglot" are quite pricey.


EYE MAKEUP LOOKS


Below are some looks I did using this palette.

LAVENDER LOVE









JADED NIGHT












SMOKE AND SHIMMERS
























PEACOCK EYES

This look has been inspired by Sadee Butt's recent look.Its not as good as her, but I liked the color vibrance.


















SUBTLE AND NEUTRAL




That's all girls.I hope you like this post as much as I enjoyed doing it.My eye makeup skills are still in development stage so please be kind in your comments. ^_^ As for my dear follower who did not like my eye brows last time..I would request you to look past the few stubby hair asking to be plucked...again :),because these photos were snapped at different stages. I know it may not be easy,but please try.Much love to all.



Stay blessed.
