mark. On the Dot Smokey Eye Color Compact

Avon True Color For the Love of Makeup Artist Palette does not officially hit the brochures until Campaign 23, 2016; however, I was able to get my hands on this palette ahead of time and wanted to share my results with you — hence, the “preview” description. Though it doesn’t pop up in brochures for another 2-4 weeks, depending on where you’re located, it is exclusively available online right now! In the video above, I show the colors upfront. For today’s fall inspired look, I decided to use the new For the Love of Makeup Artist Palette (pics shown below).

This palette includes:

• 30 Eyeshadows (18 shimmer/metallic and 12 matte)

• 5 Lip Glosses

• 3 Powder Blushes

• 2 Powder Highlighters

• 1 Powder Contour

• 1 Dual-Ended Eye Applicator

• 1 Lip Applicator

• 1 Cheek Applicator

• Palette measures 4 3/4″ L x 7 1/2″ W x 3/4″ H

Overall: I’m very pleased with this palette. It’s very affordable — 41 products for $19.99. The creamy metallic eyeshadows are very smooth and easy to blend. The color payoff is good in relation to the price. My only concern is the light shade of contour. For women with darker complexions, this may not be one of the products that you use but still, a great product for the price.

While on the Avon site, I noticed the metallic eyeshadows are on sale for $3.99! They go on like butter 🙂 If you’re only interested in getting the metallic shades, hurry. They’re limited time offer. Eyeshadows available in shades:

After my pleasant experience with the mark. shimmer cubes, I decided to purchase the mark. On the Dot Smoke Eye Color Compact and mark. On the Dot Neutral Eye Color Compact. Just like the shimmer cubes, I found this product to be heavily pigmented which is a good thing — especially for darker skin tones. I used my finger to pick the product up with no problems. The shadows glided across my hand so smoothly. Mind you, I didn’t have on any lotion so they may have been a little dry 🙂

The product description states that there are nine metallic shades; however, I personally noticed that shades 1 and 3 (from pinky to thumb) did not appear metallic at all. They are darker shades so I assume that’s the reason for the lack of metal appearance. I do feel as though they’ll look great and may be easier to handle when building a very smokey eye.

I also find the price point to be acceptable. For just $16, you have 9 eye shadows conveniently placed in a compact with a small mirror and applicator. It’s small so you can easily throw it in your purse without it taking up much space, yet still able to complete your desired look. With the compacts, you may just have all of your eye shadows in one place and do not need to travel around with as many products if you’re a girl on the go as I am. I can’t wait until I try it (which may be today :))
