Advantages: Staying power

Disadvantages: Cost in certain stores

I bought a Maybelline Expert Wear Eye Shadow trio last year for my wedding.

After having it applied in the morning, to me waking up the next morning (I know, naughty naughty leaving make up on over night) It hadn't moved an inch.

So I decided these were going to be the new eyeshadows for me. I searched in Boots but found them to be a tad pricy so I ordered quite a few different colours off ebay as they were just a fraction of the price.

You can get these eyeshadows in monos, duos, triples and quads. Some of the monos do not come with an applicator but the larger packs tend to with the quad even coming with two.

The eyeshadow itself is a pressed powder. There is quite a lot of the shadow actually in a tub so it is quite deceiving.

The first thing to remember is you don't need much of the shadow on your brush at all if you prefer something subtle. The colours are very deep and rich. I tend to use the same colours both daytime use and going out use. I just gently rub the applicator over the shadow once for a lovely pale even colour on my eyelids.

If I am going out and want to have a dramatic effect, I out a pale wash of colour all over the lid and keep deepening the colour on the lid to the desired effect.

The eyeshadows come in a range of colours from pastelles to very dark smoky colours.

My favourite two are emerald isle and caribbean blue as they have glittery hints in them and the emerald isle is a deep greeny blue which is great for a sultry look and makes my bluey grey eyes look intensly blue.

I now don't buy any other eyeshadows as the staying power and the price of them (if you look in the right places, e.g. ebay) is just second to none.

Summary: Beautiful colours, great staying powers
