Afflano Red Eyeshadow Palette Highly Pigmented, Long Lasting True Red Eye Shadow Christmas Clown SFX Halloween Makeup Pallet, Brown Black Yellow Sunset Warm Fall Eye Shades, Cruelty Free

I was just playing around with it after I'd received it, attempting to create a 'red wine' smoky eye look I'd just seen. Right before I was about to hop into the shower. So> just a total I'm playing with makeup moment, yeah. Well, not only was this palette perfect for that look, the shadows are beautifully pigmented and build nicely, and wow do they hold well! I had no primer, no setting spray, my skin was greasy and gross. There was no expectations for this palette to have any sort of performance other than smear some color on my face. Mkay. But> hot dang! The colors all popped. They built beautifully, and as I was in the shower, I had to double cleanse my face to get it off (and even then there was faint remnants)! I've only ever had that experience with some heavy duty setting/holding sprays. Mkay. This palette far exceeded my expectations. I absolutely recommend it. It's fun colors, and such a variety of reds, which I don't typically go for because > red isn't exactly my color, as well as I've never had a red show/build/stay so well on my skin.So, again, I was just playing around. And I have been doing some modeling for horror themed photography shoots, hence the crown of skulls. But here's a fairly reasonable view of the eye makeup after I'd completed the look, and then there's the I couldn't resist taking a photo as proof that this held on for dear life. I hadn't used face cleanser yet in the shower picture, but I'd scrubbed my face under the water and the eye makeup did not budge! Last photo was a look I did with this same palette for new years eve.

This pallet can be used in so may ways. The color is pigmented, lasts. There is fallout but not enough to diminish the products worth. The glitter is super nice and you can literally just pat the color down and it is so vivid!

I love how pigmented these shadows are. I had a little trouble at first trying to figure out how these colors could pop. What I have learned is that if you use a cream based white primer, all your reds will turn pink. If you use black, then it comes out really dark. If you used a clear primer, the colors show up as is and are beautiful shades. The only downside to this palette is that it stains on your skin. If you don't want it to stick to your skin, I did a combination of face balm makeup remover with hot water. It lasts forever!

I needed some reds and this was a nice pallet. Good pigment for price though not the best or most pigmented.Unfortunately most of the reds lean orange and there's not really what I would call a true red in the pallet except the one glitter. But I wanted a pressed powder true red.

I wore this for Halloween and I loved how dark the black and reds were. I really like the colors and how they pop.

For the price, this is a really good product. I do wish the colors were a little more vibrant but you can build color

You know that thing when you buy a new car and you're not used to the get up and go and you keep getting jerked around by tapping the gas?This is that in an eyeshadow pallet.My aesthetic is somewhere around "goth drag queen" and I am so used to having to just dig to get enough pigment. Not with this. I swear I've been having to wipe off my eyeshadow for being too much. It's amazing. And all the colors are so gorgeous. I am obsessed.

I got this delivered today. I opened it and swatched it. First off this is not a 'red' palette as it's advertised. Based on the pictures and the description you'd think all the red shades would actually be red but six shadows are orange, not red. That was a bit disappointing because I purposely bought these thinking I would have an all red palette but felt like I got an orange palette. Especially because the two red glitter shades I don't see myself using, so that leaves me with three red(ish) shades. When I tested these shades, even though I used a primer and concealer, they actually stained my eyelids a bit. It took a makeup wipe, micellar water and two rounds of facial cleanser to get it completely off. Wasn't too thrilled about that. But I think I'm going to keep the pallete because the shadows were pretty pigmented, they blended decently well and the price was good for what I got. These shadows are also powdery, so you have to make sure to tap off or blow off the excess so you don't get fallout. Overall I'd recommend these as a good option for some decent shadows at a low cost.Update: I decided to return them even though they were pigmented and blended decently. I really want a red palette and don't see myself using this. Had the colors been true reds, I would've kept it but of the eleven red(ish) shades I'd probably only use one.
