okay, forgive me for spamming you with catrice product's reviews simultaneously. i just bought a bunch of their stuff in order to replace my old makeup. talking about catrice, it's a drugstore brand from germany, that's why their color selection is suitable for fair to light skin tone. lucky me.. although since they sell it in asian country, the color selection is limited so sometimes i can't get the shade that i want since they think it won't suitable for asian people. oh well.. reading and watching all the reviews, they all praise one thing in common, the mono eyeshadows. so, i decided to pick some. actually i want to try the metallic one, the rose gold shade, but when i swatch it at the counter, somehow it doesn't look like rose gold to me. at that time, i haven't bought my makeup revolution palettes, so i pick the bright color, the peach one since i don't own anything like that before.
this is the description from their website: colour-intensive powder eyeshadow, high coverage, for longlasting eye makeup. a diverse color spectrum, long durability, high coverage and various effects in matt, shimmering or pearly - united in the absolute eye color mono eyeshadows. inspired by the looks at the international fashion shows, the eyeshadows are available in various nuances ranging from soft nudes to bold shades for a bright and color-intensive finish.
the packaging: the mono eyeshadows come in tiny transparent square plastic compact. again, don't drop it. although it feels sturdy, it might break. this is the matte finish, and it has the word "matte" imprinted on it. there are several finishes for this single eyeshadows, matte, shimmery and even metallic. since this is my first single eyeshadows, i have no idea if the size is decent or too small or too big.
the product: it feels smooth to my touch. very silky smooth. and i can swipe and swatch it easily. even though this is a matte shade, it doesn't come patchy on my skin. i can use my finger or my brush to use this shadow. no fallout, it doesn't too powdery either.
the color payoff: i've read or seen that someone commented that this eyeshadow is true to pan. it means the color that you see on the pan translates to your skin just the way it is. you know sometimes the color on the pan doesn't translate well when you apply it to your eyes, but that isn't the story with this eyeshadow. it looks peach on the pan and it looks peach on my swatch. and even though this is a light color, i only need two swipes to get it shown on my eyes. pretty impressive.
the result: it looks nice on my eyes, it doesn't have fallout and it holds quite well too. even without primer, this color can hold up to 3-4 hours. without creasing.
this is a win for me. i can see why everyone keeps recommending the single eyeshadows. it's great for such a cheap price. and there are a lot of color selections and finishes. if i haven't bought makeup revolution palettes, i will come back and buy some more. if you're on tight budget and think eyeshadow palette is not for you, then definitely try these.
