The Eyeshadow Junkie Tag



I know, I know, I just did a tag...literally just yesterday. But look at the title. You know I had to do this! Thanks to Francesca over at Batty 4 Beauty for letting me know about this tag! Since I can't seem to stop buying eyeshadow palettes this seemed like a perfect tag for me to do so here we go...

1. What is your favorite drugstore eyeshadow brand? e.l.f. definitely. Their smudge pots are some of my most loved and most used.

2. Favorite eyeshadow primer? So far it's been a sample I have of Too Faced's Shadow Insurance. That stuff has lasted me ages and it does the job.

3. First ever eyeshadow purchase and do you still use it? I'm sure I had Bonne Belle eyeshadows and stuff when I was younger (does anyone remember those?) but my first proper eyeshadow purchase for myself was the NYX Runway Collection palette in Caviar & Bubbles. I definitely still use it, it's a perfect little neutral palette.

4. Best drugstore shadow dupe? Honestly, I can't really answer this because I don't really have high-end shadows to be honest.

5. Most under-rated and over-rated shadows? The most under-rated would be Coastal Scents shadow palettes. I don't hear a ton of people talk about them and I have a couple that are Holy Grail status for me. The most over-rated (please don't kill me, this is just my opinion) are probably the Makeup Geek shadows. I've only tried a couple and while I love their blushes, their eyeshadows never really impressed me.

6. Favorite single eyeshadow? If you know me you know I don't own many single eyeshadows, but the Colourpop ones are hands down one of the few I make an exception for. I especially love the shade Sequin, which I featured on a post here.

7. Favorite cream shadow? I love Lancome's cream shadow base in Noisette. I can wear it under other shadows as a sort of primer but I also wear it alone and it looks lovely for a minimal makeup look.

8. Favorite neutral shadow? Hard Candy does a palette called Natural Eyes, which is a knock off of theToo Faced palette of the same name. It has pretty much every neutral eyeshadow you could ever want and I use it often.

9. Favorite colored eyeshadows? I don't wear a ton of bright shadows, I usually leave that for lips, but e.l.f.s 104 piece palette has a ton of bold eyeshadow colors which are all super pigmented and buttery soft. I have used that palette time and again when I want to play with color.

10. Best eyeshadow palette ever? I mean, this is kind of like asking someone who their favorite kid is. If I had to pick, at this point I would say my Makeup Revolution Naked Chocolate Palette, I've used it pretty much daily since buying it.

If you are an eyeshadow lover or just a makeup lover in general, you should do this tag. Make sure you leave me a link to your tag in the comments! XO

    1. Hahaha, you know me well Ella, I do love my palettes! I just always feel like you get more bang for buck with a palette since you're getting so much more, and a lot of time for comparable prices as singles or way cheaper when you add them all up. Thank you so much my beautiful friend, hope you had a fantastic weekend! XO -Kim

    1. It's definitely weird at first, I find using my fingers the easiest to apply! But it is really fun and a lot of times the pigmentation is so much better! Thanks so much Biana, I hope you had an awesome weekend! XO -Kim
