Eyeshadows are the dresses of the makeup world. Or at least I believe they are. They can be worn casual, bold, bright, dramatic, simple; it all depends on the wearer. Eyeshadows reflect your makeup style.
Sadly, low-end makeup brands in Dubai are slow to update with new collections and products so there aren't a lot of new toys to test and play with. Boo hoo. Finding new brands is pretty rare as well. We lack many of the popular American , UK and Asian brands. So you wouldn't believe my excitement when an amazing friend brought this bundle of joy back from her adventures in London.
This is a review on Sleek Makeup's i-Divine Pallet in Ultra Mattes v1.
(And of course, it's bright.)
I have read, heard and watched all the hype circulating around Sleek's eyeshadows. I've heard of how pigmented they are, the color payoff, the quality, etc. So I psyched that I could finally test it out for myself.
The packaging is 'sleek' and eye-catching. I would assume that each design corresponds to the shades, hence the bright colors for this particular pallet. The pallet itself reflects a matte coat with the Sleek logo.
The pallet contains 12 eyeshadow of a very good size and amount, The quality of each eyeshadow is absolutely phenomenal. I always fear lighter shadows to turn out chalky, patchy with low pigmentation. These eyeshadows (both light and dark), are smooth to the touch and the color payoff is just crazy (in a good way). Plus each of the colors have names. Cool!

As shown, the color pigmentation is everything a makeup enthusiast would wish for. The pastels are opaque, the yellow and blue are true and bright and the dark shades are just right. The gray and white are a little more sheer, but can be layered for intensity. The colors photograph beautifully and pack on with minimal fall out. The consistency is soft and velvety to the touch. The colors for this pallet offers variety for very bright and interesting looks.
I am definitely satisfied with the quality and vibrancy of the eyeshadows in the pallet. And now I'm itching to get my hands on the rest. Of course, this pallet is not for everyone. However, it can be used for a sheer wash of color on the lid or a pop of color incorporated into a neutral look. I do recommend you give this (and any other pallet in this brand) a try.
After all, everyone needs a splash of color in their life.
