the secret life of munmun♥: MAX FACTOR:: Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow (Bronze Haze)

I got this as a gift with the purchase of Max Factor's False Lash Effect Mascara (Gold)
the name is pretty self-explanatory! it's an eyeshadow pen to achieve a smoky eye look :)

step 1 is the lighter colour (gold/beige) with a rounded edge

and step 2 is the darker colour for the outer third of your eye (dark brown)

and this has a flat, pointed tip which means you can angle the pen

to create your crease and the outer shadow etc.

i actually read the reviews after my purchase and realised that there were quite a few negative reviews

as most of the customers complained about the eyeshadow pen/stick to smudge easily

or that the eyeshadow pen would snap easily (after the first use or so)

thankfully, my eyeshadow stick did not snap after the first use

because i didn't need to apply much pressure to see the results! :)

the eyeshadows are quite creamy which means that it is a smooth and easy roll-on application,

but because it is a creamy eyeshadow, it does tend to smudge quite easily (especially in heat!)

i wore it to play top-golf (for the first time!) in 26°C heat!

and the colour wore off a little for my triple eyelid (left eye),

and the pencil eyeliner on the top of my mono-lid (right eye)

transferred onto the eyeshadow which caused some smudging..

but that's nothing a re-application can't fix! :)
also, if it's going to be a long day and you don't have time to be fixing it,
just apply some primer before using the product! :)

they have quite a few colours as well -

pink plume, blue tempe, onyx smoke, purple dust, silver storm,

indigo mist, citrus thunder and bronze haze (the one i got!)

this is definitely something i'd use if i was in a hurry (i usually am haha)
and it's something that fits in bags of all sizes!

so all in all..

positives:

easy application
easy for blending

variety of shimmery colours

light and small (to fit in a handbag)

generous amount of eyeshadow

affordable

negatives:
