I won’t lie but the only reason I got this xibei eyeshadow palette was because it is so cheap and had such beautiful colors. I swatched a few of them and they were good so I thought let’s go for it and see how it works.
I got it for approx 200 INR I think and have used in few of my makeup tutorials on youtube as well. I found it in local store from where I get my miss claire and sivanna kind of Indian brands. To cut the story short, let’s move directy to Pros and Cons.
Pros:
- Very Cheap
- Colorful Palette
- Pigmentation of few colors is really nice.
Cons:
- Not available online.
- Few colors are not at all pigmented no matter how much you use they just don’t show up.
- Chinese
Overall Review: I am getting too much into makeup now a days so I have tried few of high end and drugstore palettes which have amazing pigmentation and texture. Before I tried those I use to find this palette fine but after using them I know what this palette was missing own. Though it has collection of beautiful colors and is reasonable priced but the texture and pigmentation of few shadows are very bad. Only 2-3 shadows work fine for me. Also, it is not a complete palette, I have to look out for other shadows for creating nice transitions etc. Hence I won’t go for it again. Just like fashion I would like to invest in some good quality palettes which definately takes up makeup game a notch higher.
This one is inside room with flash
This one is in daylight. I have touched up twice to get this kind of pigmentation.
Now in this swatch you can see the golden one is not that pigmentated.
So I don’t regret buying it since it is just for 200 INR and I create multiple looks using it. So if you are beginner go for it, few eyeshadows in this palette are amazing and it won’t hurt your pocket as well. It is worth the money it comes for. But if you have money to spend and want to build a quality makeup kit invest in some other palettes which have mix of matte and shimmer shadows.
Have you tried any such palettes. What is your review about them ? Which is your favourite eyeshadow palette ?
I have used this palette in this golden smokey eye look and Pink makeup look. So you can see them in action as well.
