ELF Golden Glow single eyeshadow

   Today, I will be reviewing the very affordable single eyeshadow that is produced by ELF Cosmetics.

 

    For those new in the cosmetic/beauty mania, let me tell you that starting with an ELF product in your kit as a start-up collection, with some guidance will definitely point you towards the right direction in price and quality. Oh, don't get me wrong there are some products they have that looks so dang good in the their respective packaging and NO color pay-off, but if you do your homework and read reviews on it (like this, wink,wink!) you will never go wrong.

 

   Let's start with some simple eyeshadows, shall we?

 

  Why the Golden Glow, you might ask? Well, it being summer and all, bronze look is in. Everyone's working on their tan and nothing says you look good like a nice tanned skin, luscious and exotic..well, almost. But anyone can pull of the "I am in the summer mode with makeup" like a neutral with a touch of bronze/ very light copper (NOT brassy!!) eyeshadow.

 

Affordable. Everyone loves that in the economics of cosmetics and beauty. Why pay more if you can get the great look for less. Inexpensive never means cheap!! Got that? Good! This is a 1.5gram eyeshadow. Again, very affordable.

 

Packaging is very good.

It has a sturdy plastic case for the pan that is nestled inside the box. Protects the product from falling apart should you drop it (I hope NOT!) from the store.

This is how it looks after I removed it from the blister pack casing and as it appears in the pan. The color here is almost as close as it is in person. I am medium tan, tingle of olive hue on my skin and this color ROCKS!!

For better color pay-off, use a base to make the copper tint of it, pop. Your eyelids will thank you. See that illustration to the left (you, facing the box) copy that and again your eyelids will thank you.

This color goes from day to night look with a heavier eyeliner for night and some light taupe on the crease to bring some "upmh" to your look. Wear nude lipstick for day and work that red lipstick for night look.

 

This is what I created. Not quite as accurate in color as it was in person but you can see a fine line of eyeliner and no mascara..so you can see the color better...highlight the browbone and a nice skintone eyeshadow on the crease. I love it!

Bronze it, baby! Summer is here and enjoy the sun without really getting out too much in the sun.

I hope this helps, I had fun posting this. Ok, I had way too much fun taking photos..enjoy!
