Rimmel Glam Eyes Smokey Purple eyeshadow palette review

Rimmel Glam Eyes Quad Eyeshadow in Smokey Purple has a range of muted purple and pale shades to create a low key smokey eye. If you’re looking for a eyeshadow palette to create a look for a evening out, I’d definitely rate this as a great low budget option.

Having tried quite a few of Rimmel Glam Eyes quads I had quite a lot of expectation for this eyeshadow. My initial thoughts were that some of the shades were quite hard to make visible on the eye, especially shade 2 – the light lilac. I had to apply the colour several times to get a good amount of colour on each eye. This may be intentional however which is how it manages to create such a low key smokey eye look.

To achieve the Smokey eye I followed the guide on the back of the palette, applying shade 2 (lilac) to the inner and outer corner of my eye. I followed this with shade 1 (pink) in the middle of the eye which I accentuated with shade 3 (white) on the brow arch. Finally I blended shade 4 (dark blue) into the outer corner of the eye.

The quad is long lasting and the eyeshadow doesn’t crease. By the evening the eyeshadow was still going strong. For its longevity and versatility I give Rimmel Glam Eyes Smokey Purple 3/5. This is a great low budget eyeshadow palette that you need to add to your collection.
