Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow Saddle, Toast, Velvet Plum Review, Swatch

I have been wanting a palette from Bobbi Brown for the longest time. But we don’t get Bobbi Brown empty palettes here in India, unfortunately. So when I had an opportunity in Paris, I tried to make a palette that I could use as an everyday thing as well as something that is easy to carry around. I mostly use neutral eyeshadows so these 4 colors just fit my bill.

The 4 eyeshadows I picked were Banana (Review HERE), Toast, Saddle and Velvet Plum.  Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow Saddle #61

• Price : Rs 1,770 for 2.5 gm
• Shade : a gorgeous cool toned dark greyish-brown.
• Finish : matte
• Texture : super smooth
• Pigmentation : very pigmented
• Staying Power : stays until you remove it. No fading, no creasing.
• Works best with : all colors. It is a universally flattering shade. A softer shade than black and the kinds that can be used everyday to smudge your eye kohl. You can also use it full on to create se*xy smokey eye makeup look. You can also use it for your brows.
• Pick it up : if you are looking for an everyday matte eyeshadow. Or if black eyeshadow is not your cup of tea, this color is perfection.
• Skin tones : all

Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow Velvet Plum #3

• Price : Rs 1,770 for 2.5 gm
• Shade : a brownish plum with gold-copper shimmer
• Finish : Metallic
• Texture : very buttery smooth. The shimmer is not gritty at all and is very soft to use.
• Pigmentation : 100% pigmented.
• Staying Power : the intensity tends to go down a bit after 3-4 hours but still it pretty much stays until you remove it. I also feel that if you want to get the kind of intensity you see in a swatch, you have to use it with a wet brush.
• Works best with : green, brown
• Pick it up : if you are looking for a neutral everyday shimmery eyeshadow. Can be easily be taken from day to night. If you want it to look intense, use it with a intense brush to get the full impact. I like that it is a plummish color and not your regular brown. So it is easy to pull off on a day to day basis. It adds that little twinkle to the eyes.
• Skin tones : all
• Do I like it ? Pure love!
• Rating : 5/5
