@Effie54 You do want glittery eye shadow? 

I don't use glitter, but there are so many beautiful ones available.

Urban Decay, Mac, Colourpop, Sydney Grace, Pat McGrath...any that you look at that you like, you may want to search swatches or reviews (Especially temptalia's). Unless you are going to shop in the store!


I think I might check out Sephora to see the various colors, formulas, etc. No glitter for me.

Re: Sponge Applicators for Eyeshadow

@Effie54 "Thank you so much for the excellent advice. What brand would you recommend for a powder eyeshadow, natural glittery, that has a lot of pigment and easy to blend?"

 

I wasn't sure if you actually wanted glitter or if this was an auto correct! LOL

 

Go to Sephora, but I don't know if the testers are available, yet. They have had them covered due to Covid.

 

Urban Decay & Tarte are my two most dependable picks from Sephora. I do love Mac the best if you are near a Mac counter.

 

Smashbox has some great palettes, too. I love their Always On Cream Shadows.

 

Viseart palettes are good quality & they have a good selection of colors & finishes in their palette, but they don't do singles, either.  Neither do Smashbox or Tarte.

 

Mac you can choose 1 eyeshadow or you can buy an empty palette & buy single shadows (Pro Pan Refills are $8 each, but they are 25% at the Mac site-you can't buy the refills at a Mac counter. Only online or a freestanding store.).

Mac also has palettes with small pans (Eyeshadow X 9) that are $32, but are on sale on the site for $24 & they are a great way to get a variety of some of the best shades for a good price. 

 

I hope you are not overwhelmed & I hope you have fun.

Re: Sponge Applicators for Eyeshadow

I will reply to myself because I lied.

Mac Pro Pan Refills are not on sale, right now.

The regular shadows are, but the pans are still only $8 & regular shadows are $13.50 on sale,

 

Their pre made palettes are on sale & the mascaras are too!
