Chanel Eye shadows - Illusion D'ombre

I have discovered these amazing pots in 6 colours and I bought one in maroon, black, white and steel grey. It looks like a cream shadow but at touch it is quite powdery / slippery and can be buffed on with a fluffy brush like MAC 217 on your eyelids or can be put on with fingers (although I found it quite messy this way). They have beautiful sparkly bits in them which actually do not drop off as the night goes on. I used them in the morning and it lasted until the end of the day! You can use them on their own or add to any other eyeshadow for some glam ;)

Rimmel eyeshadows

On one of my superdrug visits, I found a few interesting eyeshadow quads by rimmel. I was looking for a bronzy and a lilacy quad for myself and the results were super. It lasted the whole day on my eye primer like all other expensive brands. Will dig out the names of the palette if anyone wants to know.

Eyeshadows by Atelier Maquillage International

I came across this brand at IMATs this year and as a makeup artist I am always on the look out for new colours and products so I tested them on the back on my hand at the stall. To my surprise the colours were vibrant and highly pigmented. The eyeshadows come in palettes of 5, and you can buy them pre packed or make your own palette. I bought a couple of pre-made ones in Blues , Purples, Peaches, and Pinks. Apart from trying them for test shoots I tried them on ME for a TV interview I gave a few months ago. Some of the eyeshadows are light reflective and shimmery and others are matte. The real test was on a shoot I did with Actress Maia Sethna  and I wanted to create a turquoise / acqua eyemakeup with a smokey look, the colours have come out really well in the pictures. I am so impressed with them that I might buy a larger palette which takes in more of their colourful eyeshadows.
