shadows

{Wet N' Wild palettes}




{Comfort Zone- top: left column, bottom: right column}

Left column: (top swatches)
browbone- ivory/ beige highlighter. very pigmented and soft. i really do enjoy using this under the brow
eyelid- rosy, pinkish bronze with a satin finish. one of my favorites to use over MAC's nubile paintpot. very pigmented,soft, and easy to blend. also wears for a long time without fading or creasing with a base
crease- a bronzey brown with a satin finish. pairs nicely with the eyelid color.
definer- warm dark brown with micro shimmers. reminds me of MAC's smut e/s

Right column: (bottom swatches)
browbone- gray highlighter with satin finish. i like to use this over the lids too. very soft and easy to blend
eyelid- a very spring green color with a satin finish. very soft as well, good for a light wash of color on the lids
crease- a black based, cool dirty brown color with micro shimmers.
definer- multi colored with brown, black, dirty green. reminds me of mac's club e/s. very soft and blendable as well.



{Blue Had Me At Hello - top: left column, bottom: right column}

Left column: (top swatches)
browbone- white highlighter with a frost/shimmery finish. not the best in terms of texture.
eyelid- a silver gray. the softest and most pigmented color out of the whole palette
crease- a black based midnight blue with micro shimmers, which doesn't really translate onto the lids
definer- a matte black. has poor texture and pigmentation, least favorite of the palette

Right column:(bottom swatches)
browbone- looks silver but is actually an icy blue. soft in texture with a frost finish
eyelid- an aqua blue, the most fun color out of the palette. very soft, pigmented, and easy to blend
crease- a beautiful royal blue color. sadly, needs some work to build up to get good pigmentation
definer- matte black with glitters that doesn't really translate onto the lids. not the best texture nor pigmentation. also fades off rather quickly.

Overall
I would highly recommend these 2 palettes if you are thinking about getting them, especially Comfort Zone. With the exception of the black shadows in Blue Had me at Hello, I think every shade in the two palettes is very usable. Most of the colors ( especially those with satin/frost finishes) are all so soft and pigmented. I also like how you can mix and match colors from the two columns of each palette. Definitely good palettes to play around and experiment colors with. Hope this was useful!
