Ever since I saw pictures of the Smashbox Masquerade collection for Fall 2010 I was smitten. I’ve learnt that I like Fall-Winter colours best because I have a penchant for dark eyeshadow and deep colours. Light shades just work better as highlighters or accent colours but I do much better with dark colours for the eyes. Hence my love for the new Smashbox Masquerade Eyeshadow palette<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"smashbox<\/p>\n

I showed you this one before I left on holiday. I used it throughout my holidays but since my camera’s gone, I have no looks to show you \ud83d\ude1b Which is why I had to wait till I got back to work and started using makeup again to show a couple of simple looks.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a couple of simple looks and swatches after the jump below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are the swatches of all 9 colours in the same manner in which they are laid out in the pan. In my tilted picture above, tilt your head to your left and you should get it.<\/p>\n

\"smashbox<\/p>\n

The dark colours all tend towards having a touch of shimmer (nothing glittery) and are very nicely pigmented. The matte shades do come out a little flat but they work well with the other shimmery shades. I’d recommend that you use this palette with eyeshadow brushes. Fingers do not do it justice.<\/p>\n

And here are a couple of looks to show how it looks on the eyes. In all the looks below I used the Smashbox Illusion blush from the same collection. I thought I’d review it in this post but decided to give it its own post.<\/p>\n

Look #1 – Khaki Green and Gold<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"smashbox<\/p>\n

As you can see, the grids are laid out in such a way that you can easily find a colour match by going across the grid. Perfect for newbies who aren’t sure how to mix and match colours. I only used 2 colours, one light and one dark. Its fast and easy – and I should have blended it more before I took the picture \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Look #2 – Navy Blue and Cream<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"smashbox<\/p>\n

This was done in a hurry and possibly shows the Illusion blush at its best. I did add a pop of Benefit Coralista<\/a> on the apples of the cheeks to bring out the colour.<\/p>\n

Look #3 – Brown and Cream<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"smashbox<\/p>\n

The Masquerade Eyeshadow Palette works for day time work looks too! I used the brown and cream for this one. Its not too obtrusive and looks more natural.<\/p>\n

At RM149<\/strong> for 9 colours, you’re looking at just RM17 a colour which is really good value \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Pros: <\/strong>Lovely pigmented colours, Good colour selection, Colours are easy to match, Lovely texture, Best used with a brush<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/strong> Limited Edition, Shiny compact case is a fingerprint magnet<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have been using this palette for more than 2 weeks now and am still not tired of it. The range of looks you can come up with is limited only to your imagination and I think its a lovely palette with which to start experimenting with colour.<\/p>\n

Yeah I really like this one. Sue me. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Smashbox Cosmetics Masquerade Eyeshadow Palette retails at RM149 at the Smashbox Cosmetics counter at Parkson Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. It is limited edition for Fall 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
