ELF Mad for Matte Eye Shadow Palette Review

ELF Mad for Matte Eye Shadow Palette Review and Swatches
ELF Cosmetics Mad for Matte Eye Shadow Palette 

I came across this product when ELF was having a huge sale last month, and decided to pick up a few of their products. ELF cosmetics now ships internationally and even to Singapore - but being a budget geek, I've decided to engage ezbuy to get their products (because it was cheaper after conversion from USD). So ladies, just wait for a free agent or sale on ezbuy to get your elf products. 

Matte eye shadows always scare me because most of the time we get really chalky swatches and low pigmentation, especially darker shades. I decided then to try it out for myself. So here are the bare swatches 

ELF Mad for Matte Eye Shadow Palette Swatches

★★  Pigmentation
★★★  Texture 
★★★  Long Lasting Effect 

Pros
I was pretty frustrated to see that the lighter shades did not have much pigments on my skin when I first swatched them. But later felt super impressed with the darker shades. They have a slightly creamy to powdery texture, which made the product pigmented and blend-able.
Furthermore, what do we expect from a $10usd (sgd $14) palette that is so comprehensive in their range of colours?? All budget babies out there can make a complete eye look with this palette! Kudos to ELF!


Cons
As I mentioned earlier the lighter shade did not appear well on my skin (whether on my eyes or swatched). I do give some leeway since they are pretty close to my skin colour. Thus I do not recommend using this product alone on your bare lids - they just don't show well.

Overall, I totally find this palette a good one and should recommend everyone of you to get your hands on it. It is affordable, universal and great to carry around given the size of it.

You can get your product today at www.elfcosmetics.com, https://smoochiezz.com/ ; or just engage an ezbuy agent to get your hands on it!
