When I visited my (not so local) Clicks store this week, the first thing I noticed was the new Revlon CustomEyes stand, with actress Jessica Biel wearing the latest shades of eye shadow. As you can see from the photo on the left, her eye make-up is quite bold and edgy and a bit too outrageous for everyday use. Not many people will be willing or daring enough to try it out, in fear of looking like an escaped circus clown.
On closer look at the display, I saw that there were six different eye shadow palettes in this collection, from subtle to striking shades. The quilted design on the shadows is a winsome selling point. Each palette contains 4 eyeshadows and one liner in shimmery colour that can be blended and built up to achieve the intensity you're most comfortable with.
Above are the 6 palettes available in this range.
- Create a fashion forward look with Metallic Chic
- Party Pops can be used to recreate Jessica's jazzy look above. (If you're gutsy)
- I like Naturally Glamorous for a toned down natural eye
- Subtle shades in Sweet Innocence are great for a simple daytime look
- Use Smoky Sexy to get a dramatic smoky effect that works well at night
- Shades of purple will draw attention to your eyes with Rich Temptations
With so many versatile sets to choose from, you can mix and match colours and experiment with different looks. What I like about this collection is that you really can Customeyes your look according to your personal preference and sense of intrepidity.
Complement your eyeshadow with the new
CustomEyes Mascara, also from this range.
You can create two looks with the innovative twist brush - 'length & drama' or 'length and definition'.
The first setting aligns bristles for long and dramatic lashes. While the second setting defines eyelashes. Personally I don't really see the difference between the two. But I do like the flexible brush for precision and avoidance of clumping.
The Revlon CustomEyes range is available from Clicks stores countrywide.
