Make Up For Ever launched a new series of Artist Shadow eyeshadows recently! Went to check out those eyeshadows at ION Sephora and they are all really pretty! P.S I only saw 24 out of the 210 shades at ION Sephora. If you are interested in checking out all 210 shades, you will have to visit MUFE Pro Loft! ;)

Dany Sanz crafted Artist Shadow eye shadows like a collection of haute couture colors. An amazingly rich palette of intense shades in 5 effects (matte, satiny, metallic, iridescent, diamond), the range has been entirely renewed in keeping with the brand’s trademark codes: creativity, innovation, rigor, profusion, passion and generosity. Effortlessly create endless eye looks that range from beautifully natural to highly artistic with this unique eye shadow palette. With its breakthrough, gel-powder formula blended with ultrafine pigments, Artist Shadow leaves a smooth, even result that gives lids super-saturated, lasting color.

The pearly and matte formulas in the artist shadow collection were developed using two different types of state-of-the-art technology.

Pearly Formulas (satiny, Metallic, Iridescent, diamond)

Artist Shadow pearly shades feature two technical innovations: Water-blend Technology and Pigment atomization.

:: Pigment Atomization: brings purity, evenness and extremely intense color.

:: Water-Blend Technology: powders, pigments and new 3d gel polymers are mixed with water to create a formula that is heavily loaded with pigments (up to 71.5%). Water is then extracted through evaporation, giving a supple and slightly creamy texture with extremely vivid colors that can be endlessly blended.

:: Mother-of-pearl: to add intensity and shine to the color, plus metal oxides and black pigments for all the metallic effects (metal finish).

:: The particles of these eye shadows are less volatile which means they don’t fall away during application.

Matte Formulas

Artist Shadow offers fine and supple matte formulas that contain no pearlized particles whatsoever and provide an outstandingly even result.

:: Pigment micronization: ensures color is pure and even.

:: Heavy pigment load: up to 88% in the matte black shade – guarantees hold and

color intensity.

:: Nylon powder: makes the formula ultra soft so it’s easy to apply and to layer.

:: Zinc oxide and talc: ensure optimal hold that stays fast.

These eyeshadows are really pigmented, glide on smoothly and leave a smooth finish! I like these eyeshadows a lot cause they are pigmented yet very blend-able so I control the intensity applied! This eyeshadow can be a lil pricey, this is definitely a high end eyeshadow, but you will get a lot of product (0.07oz) for the price paid!

To be honest, the past me won't really use these shades and will stick to neutral shades on my eyes. But lately I like to skip the eyeshadow step and use colored eyeliners to add a pop of color on top of my black/brown eyeliner. These eyeshadows are so pigmented I can easily use them to line my eyes instead of using eyeliners. On top of that, some shades (pink toned ones) can be used as blushes too! A multi-purpose eyeshadow indeed! ;)
