Maybelline EyeStudio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow Review and Swatches

I think this is going to be the Fall of palettes for me! There are so many coordinated and high quality palettes available that I've become slightly obsessed with them. While i do love being creative and choosing my own color scheme, some busy morning i just want a great eye look already prepared for me to just put together on my lid the way i choose so i can get out the door. Maybelline EyeStudio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow is everything a cosmeholic could dream of. High pigmentation, amazing color pairing, stay closed packaging, and lasts all day. The shades that contain micro glitter are prone to minimal fall out so be prepared for that, and the more pearlesq shades are quite soft so don't be hard on them.

These shadows can be applied in anyway you like, i prefer to use the second color as my lid color, third color as my crease color, last color as my outer v and defining color, and the first as my brow high lighter. You can also used the first shade to primer your eye as an all over lid color then use second for a crease, third for your inner eye and last for your outer eye definer and liner. Or use them alone!

80 Pink Persuasion:
From left to right- Light silver white, soft silvery white, silver, and black with microglitter. Soft, feminine, and just a little retro. Pair with a pink or nude lip.

400 Olive Martini
 Left to right- Soft light taupe, silvery white, brown with green pearl shine, and chocolate brown with micro glitter.
These photos do this shade no justice. Why do i say that? Because this shade is more than just browns and neutrals, it has dementions that can only be seen in real life. If you loved dragon scales by Lime Crime the third color is very similar but more brown.

 60 Spirited Seas
Left to Right- Light taupe, pearlesq sky blue, medium blue, and copper brown with a gold shine. This is the second marine themed shadow in this collection. These colors blend very well together and including a copper really helps the blues to stand out! A nice deep red lipstick and you might just catch yourself a sailor!
