Hi IMBBians,
This post is the review of one of the two Etude House eye shadows I bought as part of my Korean makeup and skincare haul. I was now expecting to like these eyeshadows because, most of the Korean makeup is too subtle for my taste and barely show on my face or worst case, they are too pale and ghoulish for my skin tone. This eyeshadow, on the other hand is a pleasant surprise and I have only good things to say about it. Read on to know about it.
Product Description:
What it is
A highly pigmented eyeshadow with silky texture for smooth application and deep eye makeup.
– Deep & Mellow: Arranging eye shape and make natural but deep and mellow eye looks.

2. Gradate shades to appropriate eye region.

My Experience with Etude House Look at My Eyes Cafe RD301:
I wear eyeshadows on days when I wear makeup which is at least 6 times a week and that is why I keep looking for affordable, well pigmented eye shadows. These single eyeshadows by Etude House come in a coin sized aluminum pans which are securely stuck in a sturdy, clear plastic cases. I like the packaging a lot and the quantity is just right.
The shade “RD301” (I am not fond of brands naming their products in codes instead of catchy names), is a very festive shade of orange, gold and yellow. This color has a warm royal appeal to it and has warm undertone hence, it compliments my skin color well. This eye shadow is highly pigmented and it is easy to pick up with a flat eye shadow brush and to pack on the lids. It sets fast so it must be blended quickly into the eye socket.
It is a very bright shade and I would not prefer using it all over my lids, at least not into my sockets. But, it is a perfect bright warm shade for those who love to sport bright colors. It can be combined with a subtler shade such as a pale brown or skin tone shade to blend it into eye sockets and give a more muted look to eyes with just a tint of color. It can also be applied in the outer corner of the eyes with a subtle transition shade in the crease.
These eyeshadows by Etude House are reasonably priced, have a sturdy packaging and are highly pigmented. There are 28 shades to choose from and they all are fun and bright colors.
Pros of Etude House Look at My Eyes Cafe RD301:

Cons of Etude House Look at My Eyes Cafe RD301:
