A Quick Look from Across the Pond – featuring Sleek & MUA

I did a quick look yesterday to test out the products I received from a Superdrug haul. I did not swatch everything, but 1) the colors *look* nice (doesn’t mean they’re awesomesauce) and 2) I can tell you now, that teal MUA shadow is pigmented! I’ve not seen great things about the primer palette online, but I’m sure if you use it with another primer, it can intensify any eye look.

Recap, this is what I got: MUA shadow singles in shades 1 (beige, pearl finish), 8 (teal, pearl finish), and 18 (purple, matte finish), along with a Sleek eye primer palette.

Before I continue with the look I did, here’s a swatch of MUA 8. Clockwise from the very top, swatched alone, then on top of TFSI and Sleek primer in green, then on top of only TFSI.

After applying TFSI, I tried the black primer color under MUA 8 (the teal).

Then I tried the white primer color under MUA 8.

I then applied shade 1 to the inner lid and shade 18 to the crease. To finish it off, I used a Jordana InColor FabuLiner liquid liner and L’Oreal Carbon Black Voluminous mascara.

I don’t wear makeup much anymore (that used to be soooo different), and my eyes were agitated right after I applied everything, so I took it off. It looked nice, though! I’m no pro, but hey, no one looks bad in teal eyeshadow… right? ;) I love the colors in eyeshadow that my in-laws chose for me, and the variety in primer color is very nice. I could not tell much of a difference in using the white and the black primer base with the teal eyeshadow, but I can tell that it made the products apply creamier on the eye. On its own, I bet the primer palette shades would crease instantly, but when sandwiched between a regular primer and powder shadow, it should hold for a while.
