Colorbar Eye Shadow Brownie # 17 Review, Look, Swatches

Price Rs 225 for 3 gm

Colorbar Brownie eyeshadow is a chocolate brown eyeshadow with golden sheen it it. It has satin finish and it’s a great colour for every day wear. Colobar eye shadows are not insanely pigmented. I would say that the pigment is quite buildable.

Colorbar brownie Eye Shadow

The eye shadows are of good quality, There is barely any fall out when you apply them. They stay on pretty long. I wear eyeshadow primer always but there are eye shadows that tend to fade during the day. I have not faced such problem with Colorbar eye shadows. They don’t crease or smudge after they are set. I generally like to apply colorbar eye shadows with a flat brush. This way I am able to pick more colour and pat it on lid. I get the desired pigment this way. icon smile Colorbar Eye Shadow Brownie # 17 Review, Look, Swatches

Colorbar eye shadows come in cute pots. They have a see through cover and the pot is divided into two compartment. On top sits the eye shadow and there is a bottom compartment for brush and a mirror. Both mirror and applicator are useless. icon razz Colorbar Eye Shadow Brownie # 17 Review, Look, Swatches You can see only one eye in the mirror and applicator as you can see is quite silly. :laugh: I like the eye shadow’s name ” brownie “. Sounds like I cam calling my doggy ,  ” Brownie brownie “. :rotfl:

And here is the Brownie- Golden look that I do a lot. Apply paint pot, The apply the muted golden eye shadow on the inner third of the eye. Apply Colorbar brownie on the outer corner. Apply dark matte brown shade in crease. Apply colorbar Brownie on the lower lash line. Apply golden eye shadow on the inner corner.   Line your eyes and apply mascara.

I like to go with peachy blush with this look.  icon smile Colorbar Eye Shadow Brownie # 17 Review, Look, Swatches

Reply

Rati September 30, 2010 at 7:02 pm

It comes in a little pastic thingy. I keep it like that only. The most ridiculous thing about inglot is that they don’t sell these refills like that. they only send it with the palette. I went to Inglot with Ki. She had bought the palette so I kinda forced them to sell the refill to me. :P
