Colorbar Warm Eyeshadow Palette - Review
Quantity: 1.8 gms X 5
Cons:
These are good for those new to makeup, as it is quite economical & also lets you experiment with different shades, but keep in mind they are difficult to blend and also the low pigmentation payoff.
I tend to prefer either single eyeshadows or customisable palettes, so that way *all* the colors are shades I know I will use. In a ready made palette, generally, I end up using some of the colors, and the others go waste, here it seems Dune & Humid are gonna go waste.
Have you used this palette?

| From L to R: #23 DUNE, #24BRUN, #25HUMID, #26PLUMFUL & #27MYSTERY |
Price: Rs. 499/-
Pros:
1. I quite like Brun, Plumful & Mystery, these shades would suit most eyecolors & Indian skintones
2. Long lasting, even without an eyebase, these eyeshadows adhere to the skin and last a good 3-4 hours without fading3. Travel friendly, the small compact structure is easy to tag along.

1. I don't like Dune too much, it is a weird pink shade that doesn't look good as a highlighter or as a lid color.
2. The pigmentation is a little low, plus I realised while taking swatches, these don't photograph as well as they appear otherwise. So if you wear them to a party, you will look nice in person but in photographs these will not appear as vibrant.
3. I find these difficult to blend, these eyeshadows need to be patted onto the lid. These are not like your powder/talc based eyeshadows, the texture is a little bit wet & spongy. (I hope I am making sense)
Would I buy this again: I don't think so.
One thing I love abt Colorbar shadows is that they last and are amply pigmented..but then again like you said, some colours do tend to go waste. I bought the cool palette and some shades are pretty useless fr me
ReplyDeleteI agree with your agree 100% !!! Exactly what I feel abt the quality
ReplyDeleteI so wanna get dis...bt was out of stock last tym at crawford beauty centre..thot wud surely get it next tym..bt ur review is sayin sumthg different..
ReplyDeletedunno wat to do ? shd i get dem ? I quite liked d colors of dis warm 1..
@GGG: I agree, they have good lasting power. Colorbar also makes single eyeshadows, so I really wish they had intoduced these shades also as singles & introduced the make your own palette of 5 shades @499, kinda like Inglot. That would have been nicer I feel :)
ReplyDelete@HD: Hey! Thanks! Nice to know that you have had a similar experience as well. :)
@Bhumika: LOL! If you liked the shades, Then get it. Just because I am not exactly crazy about these doesn't mean you won't like it too. :)
hey was waiting for a review about this
ReplyDeleteHey Tanveer ... nice review n I guess I ll get this because I ve always been shy with wearing eye shadows :D. I had one gift set but i ended up not using them at all !!! So I guess i ll start with mild pigmented shades :) ...
ReplyDelete@Retnu: Ohh! I have had this palette with me since May, but just kept feeling too lazy to review it :P... I hope the review has helped you :D
ReplyDelete@Chennai Ponnu: Hey! Welcome to the blog. Yup, I think you might like the palette. It is nice for those who have just started makeup & are looking for a nice collection of shades.
i too have this!!! the colors are fab but its really difficult to blend it in!
ReplyDeleteColorbar also makes a make up box consisting of blushes, lipsticks, lip colors, eye brw pencils and SIXTEEN eye shadows. I don't know why they have a very low supply of it. I'm trying to get hold of it. The box costs only 950 INR. Imagine!
ReplyDeleteI so hope Colorbar will come up with better palettes. I just liked Mystery in this palette. You love yr plums, no? :)
ReplyDelete♥xx♥
@IMW: Hey Anju! Even I don't like the fact that this is a little troublesome to blend, it is kind of sticky in its texture na? Hope exam prep is going gr8! :D
ReplyDelete@Nivedita: Ohh, really?? I had no clue about this huge makeup set. They def. don't retail this here in Mumbai, I think their Delhi outlet might have it or else it might be available online. Colorbar has a bit of trouble with supply here in Mumbai, products go out of stock for months on end :P
@Cynthia: Yup! Plums make my eyes look very green! :D :D
Colours look quiet pigmented Tanz...and shimmery too..i m loving shimmer nowadays ..:)
ReplyDeletebut confused whether to try it or not :D
Nice shades!!! I agree with you that Dune is a pretty weird shade...I'm thinking of getting the makeup box rather than this.
ReplyDelete@Anamika: they are ok in pigmentation, & yes they are shimmery, as you would like them. I didn't like them too much, as the shimmer tends to make them unwearable for office, severly restricting the use of this palette for me. But I have a hunch that you might like these, try them out at the store :)
ReplyDelete@Rakhshanda: Ohh, do review the makeup box for us when you get it! Yup, that Dune is weird :P
But the problem is they are almost always out of tock of the box and for some unknown reason it's not featured in the website even.
