Maybelline Diamond Glow by Eye Studio

So it was only recently, that my best friend sent me an Eyeshadow kit from Singapore. Though, she had no idea I was a Maybelline fan and was looking for the very eyeshadow quad. It was as if she read my mind. Anyways, the Eyeshadow kit that I am talking about are the Diamond Glow by Eye Studio and are a range of quad Eyeshadow pallet, or 4-in-1 eye shades. The problem with my reviews will of course be the fact that I manage to scram my hands on to imported products from worldwide and the names, shades, continuity and discontinuity varies from regions to regions. Maybelline is currently marketing the same product as EyeStudio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow in the West, while Diamond Glow has been released for Asians. The only difference is that while the Asian are soft and shimmery, the new ones have a vibrant metallic and silky texture.

The best thing about the palette is that all of the sets are very colour coded, which becomes awesome for people who have just begun make up. I personally like palettes because a palette means more colour choices! Considering the fact that I am a blues and purples lover, the shade I own is 04 (Ocean Blue) as pictured below:

However, there are six palettes briefed under below:

01 Copper Brown

Shades: Silver Shimmer, Gold Shimmer, Bronze Shimmer and a Dark Brown Glimmer Accent

Common Look: Perfect for a casual day out!

The same shades (slightly different) released in the west go as under:

Summary:

Pros: All shades are pearly and metallic. sturdy packing, modified applicator, soft colors, perfect for subtle, everyday, casual looks.

Cons: The shades are very light, not concentrated, last three to four hours, need more coats for the color to show

Best tip:

• Illuminate – Sweep lightest shade all over eye.
• Blend – Apply second shade across full lid and to the lower lash line for depth.
• Emphasise – Sweep third shade from inner corner to middle of lid.
• Contour – Line darkest shade on upper lash line for added intensity.

That's all for now,

Toodles,
