Maybelline New York The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette Makeup, Matte About Town, 0.14 oz.

Good pigmentation

I recently had to throw out most of my eye makeup due to an eye infection. Tossing out dozens of items was difficult. This was my first purchase after mascara and I couldn’t be happier. This pallet is a combination of my 4 favorite colors that were in 4 separate containers.The colors wear well and didn’t require an update when I wore them.Great price! I threw out $100s in eye makeup and decided to take a chance on an old familiar product. I’m so glad I did!

The colors work well and stay on a long time. I’ve been using this Product for a very long time

This product wasn't what I expected, but I will still use it. the darker color is more brown than maroon, which I had before

I had to write a review on this eyeshadow because I am truly amazed at how beautiful it blends and looks. I have been using Lancome and Bare Minerals products for years but decided to try something new for a change. What a pleasant surprise to have found a cosmetic that works just as well as the higher end eye shadows for a fraction of the price! I bought the Matte About Town shade and plan to buy Brooklyn Nude next. For the price, you really can't beat it. It's a great little find. If you're wanting to try a new shade but just don't want to take the chance with a higher end eyeshadow, Maybelline is the way to go. I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. Also, I have very sensitive skin and there are many cosmetics that just don't work for me because I'll develop an allergic reaction. Not so with this eyeshadow. No problems at all.

The colors are not very pigmented at all for what I was expecting. It would be difficult to wear the brown shade with any of the other eyeshadows in this pallet because it is the only one that is very pigmented and would totally overpower the other shadows. The matte shades on the far left of the pallet (that long white/bone colored one on top & the apricot/tan square on the bottom) are very flat and almost feel rough to apply and do not leave much color on at all (even over a primer). The shades on the top in the middle and on the right are buttery smooth and have a gorgeous sparkly effect--when in the pallet. Once applied on the eyes (again, even over a good primer), the effect is a bit lost and the difference in shades is non existent. The pink/peach color in the middle on the bottom was the one I was most excited for, and while it is the second most pigmented in this pallet after the brown I previously mentioned, it is nowhere near dark enough once applied.I'm giving this pallet 3 stars because I do LOVE the size of the pallet (it would be so perfect for a clutch or purse if the colors were pigmented enough to wear), the brown is a great color and very pigmented and easily blendable, and I have not tried the other colors with a wet brush, so maybe they would work better if I tried that.

I don’t use any kind of spray to hold my makeup on, and I just finished a day of walking around a city and sweating. The makeup is still very visible on my eyelids and I am very pleased! I like the color options.

The colors are not very saturated, it takes a lot for the lighter colors to be visible, but reasonable for the price. I would have liked the colors to have a more pink/rose tone.
