SkinFood Choco Smoky Eye Palette Review and Tutorial
Hi lovely!
Here's another review from my Korean Haul. This is
SkinFood's Choco Smoky Eye Palette in #2 Warm Brown Choco. I also have a tutorial based on the instructions on the back :)
It comes in a dark brown plastic packaging with a mirror inside. There's a double ended sponge and eyeliner applicator that I don't plan to use. As you can see, there is a diagram on the back to indicate which colour is meant to go where. Of course, this is just a guide. This palette can be used however you wish. The description says:
Smoky Eye Palette has a warm pink brown color which can be applied as softly melting chocolate.
Whatever that means...
Here are the swatches of the eye shadows without a base or primer. The lightest colour (A) is very powdery and shimmery, it barely seems to be noticeable. The two other colours (B) and (C) are build-able in colour. I've noticed that the darker the colour, the more pigmented it is. The gel eyeliner in the palette (which I didn't swatch, sorry!) isn't as pigmented as I'd like. I'm very use to using black eyeliners, so this dark brown was too subtle for my liking. It's not the most smooth liner I've ever used, but the texture is not too hard either. It goes on pretty well.
I've used this palette a couple of times and I think it's alright. The lightest colour disappointed me, but the other two are good for a dark smoky look. It's quite compact as it's approximately the size of my hand, so it's good for traveling if you're on the go.
Rating: ★★★☆☆ 3/5
This is an alright eye shadow palette. It's build-able, but the first colour and the gel eyeliner didn't do it for me. I do like the colour choice, though.
Anyway, here's the tutorial for this palette!
Hehe, that's it :) I just woke up and decided to make this review but here's what it looks on my face. It's pretty subtle and definitely okay for every day wear.
