I’ve been asked this question a lot lately…
Q. How do you tell between a GOOD eyeshadow from a BAD eyeshadow?
A. Truth is, there is no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ eyeshadow. They’re all good, really. For me, it’s all got to do with the color pay off.
Observe…
BAD
I find that if you put your finger in the eyeshadow, run it through lightly and you still see the ridges of your finger print – the eyeshadow isn’t so awesome. You need to put it down and move on, no matter how beautiful the shade in.
This is because the pigment that make up the eyeshadow is limited. The less the pigment (often mica) the less color pay off.
Mica is extremely expensive and so the less mica used, the less they have to buy to put in their products.
That, to me, is completely unfair. Especially when we have to fork out $33 for one eyeshadow.
How do you gauge a good eyeshadow verse a bad one?
