Today I received these two Estēe Lauder products in the mail that I had ordered. Firstly, I LOVE THE PACKAGING!! It's beautiful haha. But otherwise, I loved the quality of the shadows.
These trio palettes for smokey eye makeup are perfect for people who don't have much experience with makeup, as it labels placement for the shadows. If you are more on the "experienced" side of the beauty world, this eye shadow trio is still a great product.
The one I purchased is the Smoked Chrome trio.
Coming from a person who isn't very much into eye shadows, I liked that the color is sheer. If you do like opaque eye shadow looks, there is good color pay off once you layer and pack the eye shadow on.
My favorite shadow from the palette is the middle one because it was the most opaque of the three colors. Also, it's very versatile as you can use it along with the other colors in the trio for the smokey eye look. I personally would probably use it as a full lid color along with winged eyeliner.
I also ordered a concealer which according to the website is their highest coverage concealer. I get really dark marks from pimples and most concealers only make the marks lighter, they don't actually cover my marks. I decided to splurge a little on a "high-end" product which costs $23.
I haven't actually used it on my face, I just swatched it on the back of my hand quickly. Although I'm not sure of the coverage yet, one thing I did love was its silky consistency. It was really smooth and buttery which I like in concealers.
