Beauty Review: Zaron Cosmetics 05 Rock N Roll Trio Eyeshadow

Hi, darlings. Are you a makeup lover? I used to be one. In fact, in secondary school when I experimented heavily with terrible makeup techniques and applications,  I earned the unflattering name "masquerade" by some "mean gals" until I became the queen bee and they had to suck up to me or face social extinction. (grin)

Anyway, with age comes wisdom, so gradually I toned down my makeup to the barest minimum.  I particularly hated eyeshadows, especially shimmer shadows because they always date pictures and overtime looked garish. Nowadays my makeup routine consists of foundation, eyeliner, lipstick  and brows pencils.

This year I celebrated my "no eyeshadow" tenth year anniversary by deciding to use the eyeshadow kit gifted to me by Zaron  cosmetics. The result is this lovely "barely-there" bronze look.

Surprisingly, I've fallen in love with this pallet, consisting of three shadows because it's perfect for my skin tone. Bear in mind I didn't touch the lightest shade. I only used the bronze and gold shadows and softened the edges with Sleek Cosmetics Black Eye Drama then  lined my eyelids with Zaron Felt Tip pen eyeliner. I enhanced my cheekbones with Sleek Makeup BY 3 blush palette

What do you think? For someone out of practice,  did I do well or not? (grin). Who knows maybe I will sign up for a makeup course or take the shortcut route with youtube tutorials.

Anyway, I am still undecided if I will repent and start using shadows. At best I recommend smokey or just plain cat-eyes using eyeliners instead of all the palaver of fancy shadow shades and blending.  I strongly advise you to stay away from shimmer shadows except at night time. If you must use shimmer at all, bear in mind the "less is more" rule when applying.
