Maybelline Shadow Duo in Browntones

I purchased a little mabelline brown eyeshadow duo thinking that it might be nice to travel with or through into a on-the-go makeup bag. The duo consists of two colors the larger pan contains a light cool tones brown and the small eyeshadow pan has a darker taupey brown. Both of the shadows contain shimmer.

The lighter brown shadow is very sheer and can be worn all over the lid to even out skin tone. It is definatly brown so if you have super pale skin this will not be equal to a vanilla color. If you have very dark skin this could be a good transition color or all over the lid. The shimmer looks really visible in the pan but on the lid is very sublte. This is a great neutral color and can work as a great light crease color for pale skin tones. Over all I like the pigmentation and it is soft and buttery to apply.

The darker brown color is way more pigmented and can really be built up to a full dark brown. When applied lightly it is a great natural crease color. This shimmer in this shadow gives it a sheen but it isn't too sparkly. Again has a great consistency and blends out easily. A great drugstore shadow.

Overall I am pretty happy with this little duo. The shadows could be more pigmented but they are still work pretty well. I would definitely recommend buying this if you are looking for some inexpensive neutral colors.
