I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with eye shadow but seeing as I have dabbled around with the majority of products in the Make Up Gallery range available at Poundland, I thought it was about time I indulged in the ‘Colour Story’ eye shadow too.
Next month I am going to ‘The Bran Stoker International Film Festival’ in Whitby and as it is a Gothic event, I went for a Gothic looking eye shadow colour. I fell in love with this ‘Galaxy Grey’ colour as it is dark but as it is grey instead of a bold black, it won’t give me massive panda eyes or look too intense, something which I feel a black eye shadow would have done. I found this grey colour was slightly more subtle and would give me a softer colour than black would have.
I love the name of the eye shadow range, ‘Colour Story’ and the ‘Galaxy Grey’ name gives me connotations of the night sky. The product comes in a small square container which is small enough to pop in to my bag to carry out and top up on the go. I bought an eye shadow brush from New Look to apply this product.
I really love this eye shadow but as you can see, it made my eyes look very bold and intense looking. Although it is very dark however, I do think it is a lot more subtle than a black eye shadow would have looked. I think it is great for drawing attention to the eyes and can also be used to create a smokey eyes effect.
This is a soft powder matte eye shadow product that contains Vitamin E. Overall it is a great product that will last throughout the night.
Make Up Gallery ‘Colour Story’ Eye Shadow comes in a variety of 20 different colours so you are sure to find one suitable for your needs. And at £1 each, they are hard to resist. I found the quality of them were just as good as other eye shadow products I have used for a much dearer price. If you are looking for cheap but good quality make up, Poundland is the ideal place to go.
Overall Rating: 4/5
