MUA Single Eyshadow Shade 7 Pearl - £1 available here
Hello beauties! Today I want to review MUA's single eyeshadow. I have four of them; shade 6, 7 and 23 pearl and shade 18 matte.
Overall, I am in absolute love with these shadows. I mentioned them in my November favourites I think, and I've been meaning to buy more! You wouldn't expect a £1 eyeshadow to have the texture that these do. They have such a smooth and buttery feel that loads of more expensive drugstore eyeshadow don't have. I have to say, I'm mainly talking about the pearl finishes here, the mattes aren't as buttery or smooth, but they're still good for drugstore mattes!
Also, the pigmentation on these guys is amazing! Seriously, one swipe and you get the same colour as the pan! They apply really evenly and there's hardly any fall down whilst applying, especially if you apply them over a cream shadow like the Maybelline ones. Again, I'm mainly talking about the pearl finishes here because the matte shadows aren't as richly pigmented or smooth. Although, the matte finish shadow I have I got a while ago and MUA do seem to have improved their formula since then of the pearl finishes so perhaps the mattes have improved too.
So, for the pearl finishes I have nothing bad to say. They're amazingly pigmented, they feel like butter and they apply smoothly. The mattes, not as great but I'm going to try some more to see if they have improved. Regardless, I understand that matte eyeshadows are difficult to get right, especially at a drugstore price and for only £1 these mattes are pretty good.
Final score: 4/5 (the pearls would get 5/5 but the mattes bring the score down)
I hope that has helped some of you in some way and I'll see you soon with some new posts!
Have a fabulous day,
Nikki x
