Hello IMBBians,
It has been over a year since I began writing on IMBB! It has been a wonderful journey and I have learnt so much about makeup in the past one year; feeling rather nostalgic 😛 I have learnt so much stuff, just by reading reviews and articles on the blog and of course drawn so much inspiration from Rati 🙂 One year wonderfully spent on IMBB and more to come 🙂 Today, I will be reviewing an eyeshadow from Essence with the shade name “Big Bang.” Now, let’s head to the review straight 🙂
Price:
199 INR for 2.5 gm.
My Experience with Essence Big Bang Metallic Effect Mono Eyeshadow:
These mono eyeshadows from Essence come in cute round packaging. I don’t know if I’m the only one here that find eyeshadow things cute 😀 The little plastic case has a sturdy cap that shuts with a click; easy to carry around too in your purse.
“Big Bang” is a shimmery pink eyeshadow. The pink is subtle and gives a satiny finish. The shimmers are not chunky or gritty. The texture is also pretty smooth and clean. It is easy to apply and blend the shadow.
A little issue I have is with the pigmentation of this shade. It is very subtle and not very bright. I was expecting it to be a tad brighter, so I was a bit disappointed, nonetheless, it looks good on the eyes.
The wear time is about 2.5 hours without any primer and up to 4 hours with a primer. There is a bit of fallout too. It is not powdery or chalky thankfully.
One thing that I noticed was that not all of the color I pick up gets to the lid, 50% of it just sits on the brush and doesn’t budge. I could not build the intensity of the color though. It’s quite an average eyeshadow, nothing to rave about.
Pros of Essence Big Bang Metallic Effect Mono Eyeshadow:
- Cute and sturdy packaging.
- Lovely shimmery pink shade.
- Smooth and clean texture.
- Easy to apply and blend.
- Good staying power.
- Not powdery.
- Affordable.
Cons of Essence Big Bang Metallic Effect Mono Eyeshadow:
- Pigmentation is not that great.
- Color is not buildable either.
- Half of the pigment sticks to the brush.
- Minor fallout.
IMBB Rating:
2.8/5
Would I Recommend Essence Big Bang Metallic Effect Mono Eyeshadow?
