Essential Eyeshadow Duo eye close-up tutorial.

HOW TO USE

STEP 1: Blend the Matte eyeshadow in the crease and outer corner using a soft eyeshadow brush. Use packing motions for more intensity and blend to diffuse.



STEP 2: Pat the Sparkling Wet Effect formula onto the eyelid and inner corner using a finger or dense eyeshadow brush for a semi-sheer glistening, high-shine finish.

Beautiful and Basic

"I resisted this because I have the pink shade but then the sale came and I caved! No regrets. I find I'm using this constantly. . . . I really only need two shades it turns out! A gorgeous icy pink and a neutral brown. Gorgeous!"

My new go to eye shadow

"This is the best eye shadow I have tried in a while and has become my go to for my YT channel. The pink sparkle is gorgeous and the neutral shade is perfect to contour the eyelid."

Severine F. (5/5)

Beautiful quality

"These shadows are adorable. The quality is spectacular. I do think it can be a bit cheaper in my opinion, but other than that, I love it."

Diana M. (4/5)

Nice duo

"I do wish the shades were deeper and more versatile but this is a nice duo."

Candi (4/5)

Expensive

"While I do like the shades, I likely won't purchase another eyeshadow duo for $30 when I can get a mini with 5 shades for $29."

Taylor (4/5)

Pretty but pricey

"They are pretty shadows but not really worth the price for only 2 colors."

Sharon (3/5)
