Review- Coloressence 8 Palette Pearl Eyeshadow, EP1

I have already reviewed the Coloressence Pearl palette EP2, and the colors on that palette were bold, bright and bridal. The colors on the EP1 palette are more earthy tones with more the bronzes, gold and green shades. This palette comes in handy when you want to do a simple, neutral look with a hint of glamour. The earthy tones also worked well to highlight the brow bone.

I created 2 looks from this palette to give you an idea of what you can do with this palette, however the colors in this palette is so versatile that if you let your imagination run wild, the possibilities are endless.

Coloressence EP1 8 Color Pearl Palette

EP1- is a true burgundy/ brick red color, ideal for smoking out a bridal look. In the picture, it looks more like a pinkish, plum red- but in reality, it's a maroon, reddish color.
EP2- is a dark brown with a slight hint of plum hidden in its depths.
EP3- a beautiful bottle green shade that can be paired with either silver or gold and smoked out.
EP4- a pure satiny white perfect for highlighting the arches of your eyebrow area or to use at the      inner ducts to open up your eyes.
EP5- a mustard/ gold color that has a hint of orange in its undertones good to be paired with EP1 for the perfect bridal finish.
EP6- is a bronze, gold shade and blends beautifully onto the lid.
EP7- is more of a dull silver with lots of shimmer.
EP8- the most beautiful copper, bronze shade I've ever set eyes on. However, I'm not sure where I could use it just yet...hmmmm...!

Green Smokey Look

Here too, I loved the intensity of the colors. The shades in this palette provided a rich, one stroke application and I was able to blend out the colors in the crease area without much effort. Layering was possible in increasing the depth of the smokey effect. The one thing that one cannot argue with, on these 2 Pearl palettes(EP1 & EP2), is the intensity of the pigment in each color.

I also need to add that with these 2 looks, I used a creamier, softer base primer which was the NYX jumbo pencil.

Silver Smoked out with Coppery Red

The company claims that these eyeshadows are crease proof, fade proof and smudge proof. I did find a bit of creasing, but that could be due to the creamy texture of the base primer. To further enhance the duration of the wear of these eyeshades, you could try using an eyeshadow sealer to lock the colors in.

If you love earthy, neutral tones and if you want to get more out of your buy, then I would suggest giving this palette a try.
