Advantages: Good price, good selection of colours

Disadvantages: I chose too dark a colour for my skin type

I bought Maybelline's expert wear eye shadow about a month ago. I find it works okay when I wear it on top of another eyeshadow like loreal colour appeal but have been disappointed when I've worn it on its own. This could be because I misjudged how dark the ones I bought were - artic blue - and I normally wear much brighter and lighter colours. I have quite light skin with blue eyes and brown hair. I think the colours would suit a blonde with blue eyes more or even possibly someone with darker skin. I think my skin is probably too pale to carry off the colours I bought!

I think for someone who is used to wearing darker make-up colours this product definitely provides great value for money. It looks hardly touched and I've worn it most days. It does have a nice shimmery effect which does make it look a little more glamourous. It feels nice on my skin and doesn't give me an allergic reaction, despite my eyes sometimes becoming sensitive to make up!

The dark blue packaging looks quite sleek. Superdrug does offer the best price I've seen - especially if you buy it using a card registered with a high street reward giving cash back site!

Summary: Good value for money eye shadow
