Makeup Revolution and
affordable eyeshadow palettes are kind of synonyms. At least, that's what I
read online several times when I browsed through their reviews. So when Nykaa
finally launched the brand, I was super excited about owing at least one
eyeshadow palette from them. I shared some pictures of it previously HERE.
It was one tough job zeroing
in on only one!
Here are my thoughts on Makeup Revolution Big Love Eyeshadow
Palette:
The palette comes packed in
a bright pink glossy cardboard packaging with all the details mentioned on
them. The palette opens easily and shuts down perfectly each time with a click
sound.
As you can see, the
eyeshadows are housed in three sections. Each section contains five eyeshadows
that go well with each other. I absolutely love the names!
The eyeshadows are a mix of
matte, satin, glitter and shimmer. The first house consists of eyeshadows
belonging to neutral family. Leaving "Last Kiss" and "weave your
magic", all of the eyeshadows go on smoothly and are nicely pigmented. I
do have to tap them 2-3 times to pack on good intensity but that's okay. They
also blend out well without me having to put in too much effort. I had apprehensions
with regard to the glitter eyeshadows not blending well but glad to say that I
was wrong. However, I need to be extra careful when packing them on my eye lids
since the texture is very powdery.
Now coming to the staying power;
I have extremely oily eye
lids. When I see them after an hour or so in summers after washing my face, the
first picture that comes to my mind is that of a pool of vaseline. Yup! Hope
you can imagine now!
I never wear eyeshadows
without a primer and hardly ever without a creamy base underneath. So, testing
eyeshadows without primer seems pretty much useless to me. I used this palette
a lot in winters. With the exception of shades Chameleons (yellow toned gold)
and Weave your magic (charcoal Black), I wore all shades. Even after some 5-6
hours, the eyeshadows were very much there with negligible fading which is very
impressive. Of course, the staying power of some shades is higher compared to
rest. When I set them using a finishing spray, they last for very long!
My favourite shades are "Into the night" which is a beautiful glittery copper (although not very glittery on eyes), absorbed (pink toned purple), simply stunning (beige with cool undertones) and Romantic moments (beautiful highlighting shade in satin finish).
All in all, the palette is
worth its price! Also, Nykaa keeps holding sales. So you might like to wait for
weekend to arrive to buy this palette at a discounted price. I got it for Rs 1080!
Wuhaha! B-)
Price: Rs 1350
