Product Review : Clinique : All about shadow trio | Becomming My Own MUA | Afrikahs Perspective

Product Review: Clinique, All about shadow trio.

I was gifted four eye shadow palettes, I will review the All About Shadow Trio.   As you can see the packaging is beautiful and it is sturdy. It comes with three eye shadows that are neutral shades along with a pinky mauve blush and a mirror which is large enough to see your whole face when applying makeup. The palette did come with brushes, I lost them somewhere in my makeup vanity.

Each of the shadows have a glitter in them but its smooth and not hard to blend or work with. What I especially like with this palette is the fact that it is flattering to my skin tone, as for the blush I will discuss that later. In the

swatches that you see starting from left to right. (06) Neutral territory is a cream to beige with gold specs of glitter. This is perfect for a brow bone highlight a little goes a long way. (1C)Foxier, the color in the middle is taupe color with corresponding glitter flecks in it as well. I used that color for my lids. (03)Morning Java, is a gorgeous dark brown shadow, with corresponding brown glitter flecks in it. This color would be so freaking pretty on top of a duo chrome blue/brown cream eye shadow. 

The color pay out of these shadows are great. However, for me I have to use a concealer or cream eye shadow to have the colors really pop. These shadows blend like a dream. For this make up look I used Foxier on my lids, Neutral Territory as my brow highlight and Morning Java in my outer 'V'.  My biggest pet peeve about me doing my makeup is my ability to blend my eye shadows so that I do not look like a hot mess. Thankfully, these shadows blend beautifully and they play well drugstore eye shadows as well. 

Now, as for the blush....lets say its a pretty color but it doesn't show on my skin tone to well. This picture was taken in direct sunlight and as you can see the blush color is ever so faint on my skin tone. In this makeup look I had to add NYX (cinnamon) on top of the Clinque (06) Fig blush to get some warmth back into my cheeks. If I were to use the Clinique blush alone my cheeks would look ashy.

 As you can see in florescent lighting the blush is barely there yet every thing else is popping.




Overall, I give this palette a A- due to the fact that the blush does not work for  my skin tone, other than that this palette is a beginner friendly.
