I don't have many single eyeshadows because I prefer them in palettes but I do have a few that I've accumulated over the years. And after seeing that most people would like to see more swatches on this blog, I thought I'd show you them!
BareMinerals High Shine Colour in Glisten * - When these first came out, I can remember reading about them everywhere but since then, I've barely seen anything about them! It's a shame really because they're quite nice eyeshadows. There is a lot of fall out unfortunately though and they're hard to work with. But the colour 'Glisten' is truly beautiful and great for a night out.
No7 Stay Perfect in Antique Rose - I adore this eyeshadow and I wish I used it more. It's a pretty pink colour with gold glitter running throughout that really makes my green eyes pop. The No7 Stay Perfect eyeshadows are great too as they're very pigmented and last throughout the day.
17 Eyeshadow in Mardi Gras - 17 eyeshadows are fabulous; very pigmented, easy to work with and cheap. Mardi Gras is possibly my favourite one. It's a gorgeous, shimmery brown colour that's perfect for inside the crease.
No7 Stay Perfect in Khaki - I'm not too sure about this one. If I ever use my single eyeshadows, I don't really reach for it. I just don't know what to do with it! But it's a lovely green colour.
No7 Stay Perfect in Truffle - Just look at this colour! It's a perfect deep, shimmery brown colour that's easy to work with and lasts throughout the day. Definitely my favourite No7 eyeshadow.
17 Glitter in Chalice - Aswell as normal 17 eyeshadows, they also do glitter ones. The glitter ones are lovely because the glitter isn't chunky and there is pretty much no fallout. This is a beautiful copper colour that is pretty similar to Half Baked by Urban Decay, kinda..
MUA Pearl in Shade 11 - MUA shadows are fabulous. The ones I've tried are pigmented, easy to work with and last well with a primer. Another brown that I have in my collection (can you tell that I like nude colours)?!
17 Eyeshadow in Darkness - I bought this from a car boot sale for around 25p and when I bought it, I was worried it was going to be very pigmented and turn out to be a deep black. But it's not. It's more of a muted black/grey that has a tiny hint of shimmery silver throughout it. Very unique!
No7 Stay Perfect Mousse in Pewter - This used to be my favourite eyeshadow! I literally used it all the time when I was a teenager. I used to apply it to my lid and then underneath my eyes. I don't know why I stopped using it; I'm guessing it's because I got more into make up and branched out. But it's a gorgeous true silver colour. The mousse's do crease though. They need a primer.
Barbara Daly Eyeshadow is Antique * - This is a beautiful, gold/brown/green colour that is shimmery. I find the Barbara Daly eyeshadows wonderful. Very buttery soft to soft and easy to blend.
17 Glitter in Night Sky - I got this the other day but I haven't had to chance to use it yet. It's a lovely muted down black that has silver glitter running throughout it. I'll possibly use it on Wednesday night when I go out.
The Body Shop Mineral Eye Colour in Radiant Graphite - I bought this in the Body Shop sale last year I think. It's a silver eyeshadow that has silver glitter in it. It's a loose eyeshadow and I'm useless with them as you can probably tell by the swatch. So I barely use it. But it's a lovely colour.
Purus Cosmetics in Sheer Bronze - Once again, another loose eyeshadow but this one is a little easier to work with. Despite the name, this eyeshadow is not sheer. It's a very pigmented bronze/green colour that is just stunning. But like 'Khaki,' I just don't know where/how to use it!
Do you have many single eyeshadows or do you prefer palettes? What is your favourite eyeshadow brand?
