Maybelline The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette Simple Review

Maybelline The City Mini Eyeshadow palette with 6 long-lasting, pigmented metallic, and matte eyeshadow colours. It claims to create a bold, dramatic eye makeup look inspired by NYC.

I recently bought Maybelline The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette (Chill Brunch Neutrals) to replace Maybelline Color Sensational Diamond Shadow . The new eye shadow palette is not mini at all. I bought it because there’s 50% off (RM20+).

Then, I slightly regretted it because I just wanted a smaller sized, 3-4 colours eyeshadow palette. This is double the size I initially wanted Blame the discount.

Anyway, I got the Chill Brunch Neutrals after having a hard time choosing. There were 2 more palettes (5th Avenue Sunset and Rooftop Bronze). I like them all. Very natural colours. It’s suitable for day and night use.

The Applicator

It comes with a brush and sponge tip but I hardly use them. I just use my finger. The warmth of the fingers are good enough to blended the colours on the lid. In fact, using the sponge tip or the brush is messy. The powder falls everywhere.

Colour Swatch

The eye shadow palette is quite pigmented and soft. It’s easy to apply and blend. There’s very minimal fallout. It lasted the whole day. The colour pay-off is good. You can refer to the photo. Only one swipe with my finger on my bare skin.

This one is under the standard day time indoor lighting.

While this one is under the sunlight.

Actual Application on the Eye Lids

The following is me using it on my eyelids. I was using my fingers as the applicator. I’m satisfied with how the colours turned out. I don’t remember which colour I used though hahaha! This is the best I can capture with my camera. It’s more intense in real life.

Most importantly, no discomfort using the eye shadow as I’ve experienced with other eye shadow that made my lid itchy and stung my waterline Luckily it was a PR kit so I didn’t waste my money.
