Essence All About Bronze eyeshadow palette review
What Essence says about the Essence All About Bronze eyeshadow palette
Essence All About Bronze eyeshadow palette contains eight perfectly matched shades in both matte and metallic textures. Each shade has been perfectly coordinated to work with the other so you can use the palette to create a number of different looks.
The Lowdown on Essence All About Bronze eyeshadow palette
What drew me to this palette was of course the sparkly shimmer of the majority of the shades. Even better it only cost £4.00, a total bargain for eight shades.
Whilst Essence say there is a mixture of matte and metallic textures, on first impression pretty much all of the shades appear to have a shimmery finish.
When swatched I found every shade, bar one has a deep shimmery pigment. The only shade that doesn’t really show up is the white eyeshadow (5) that appears quite pale with a slight shimmer.
There is a little guide on the back of the palette which gives you a idea on how to apply the shades.
To recreate my look here’s a 3 step guide:
1. I applied the white shade (5) and used it as a highlighter sweeping it under my brow
2. I applied the gold/bronze (6) shade along the inner 2/3 of my lid
3. Finally I applied the mid bronze (2) shade along the outer 1/3 of my lid blending in with the gold/bronze and sweeping into the crease.
The eyeshadow blends quite nicely but I did notice there was quite a bit of fall out initially with glitter falling around my eyes. Whilst the shades look quite different in the palette I didn’t notice much of a contrast when applied on the lid. The eyeshadow has a lovely rich pigment that looks gorgeous on. I give it:
The palette is no longer widely available, however you can probably find it on Ebay/Amazon.
