Revlon Shadows: My Secret Weapon (Giveaway!)

All sample products reviewed were provided by Revlon.

The holidays just call for a little sparkle, don’t they? And I love wearing a little sparkle on my eyes. It's the easiest way to wear sparkle, especially if sequins aren't your thing. But I don't always have time to get ready, as I'm usually leaving straight from work to an event. Let me introduce you to the Revlon PhotoReady™ Primer, Shadow + Sparkle.

Here are the palettes I received:

Watercolors—gorgeous lilacs

Impressionist—sparkly browns, neutrals

Avant Garde—beautiful blue, grey, and silver

But what makes them different from other shadows? The Revlon PhotoReady™ Primer, Shadow + Sparkle allows you to easily create limitless looks with one palette! These palettes also feature a primer, 3 highly pigmented shadows and a sparkle top coat. I like having everything I need in one palette, for those times when I need to get ready after work and don’t have time to run home. Plus, there are directions on the back that show exactly where to place the shadows. You’ve got a gorgeous look that looks like you spent a lot of time and money to achieve.

So let’s get into the looks:

• I chose to follow the directions just like on the package. First, I applied the primer all over the lid up to the brow bone. I used a flat shader brush, but a clean finger will work in a pinch.
• Next, I added the bottom shade all over the lid using a flat shader brush. 
• I used the center shade on the crease and applied it in a windshield-wiper motion with a crease brush.
• I swept the top shade as a highlight over my brown bone. I used a small detail brush for this.
• For that extra bit of enhancement, I applied the sparkle coat all over the lids.

Watercolors

I did the same process for the other two looks. They’re gorgeous shadows, aren’t they? Just finish up with loads of mascara (or false lashes!) and your favorite lip color.

Impressionist

• To save time adding eyeliner, I smudged the darkest shade along the top and lower lashes. The shadows can be used wet to intensify them.

I like to add the glitter top coat to just the center of my lids in this look. It helps to open the eyes!

If you’re looking for sparkle this holiday, with a look that’s easy to apply, as well as a versatile product, then you need the The Revlon PhotoReady™ Primer, Shadow + Sparkle.
