#d552

Sephora recently sent out a coupon to VIB Rouge members giving them $25 off any order of $50 or more, so I decided to combine it with another promo and expand my Make Up For Ever Artist shadow collection. I already had three, so I wanted to get three more and then buy two of the three pan empty palettes. I managed to get it all for under $25 so I really feel like I got a great deal. I haven’t had too much of a chance to play around with these, so I will just give a quick initial review of each shade that I bought. Let’s get started!

D552 Crystalline Gray Beige

I wanted a lighter, more subtle shade for the inner corner of my lid, and I chose this one because I have nothing like it. I have a million light gold/bronze shades that do the job just fine, but I wanted something more cool toned and metallic to brighten up my eyes. This applies so smoothly and with little to no fall out, which is crazy considering it does have small flecks of glitter all throughout it.

D562 Taupe Platinum

I swatched this shade a long time ago in my local Sephora and fell in love with it, but never bit the bullet and bought it. This is my perfect all over the lid shade, and I know that for the next few weeks I will be wearing nothing but this whenever I use shadow. This goes on so opaque and smooth, but it can also be dusted lightly on the lid to give a more subtle sheen.

M660 Speculous

And my collection of ugly mustard colors grows. When researching what shades to get, I kept coming back to this color. Yes I have a few others similar to this (Bobbi Brown’s Camel I’m looking at you), but I wanted to try it out in the Artist Shadow formula because it is one of my favorites. So far, I absolutely adore this color, it blends perfectly and ties together any look. I also love wearing just this in my crease with big fluffy lashes and a warm brown liner.

Let me know your all time favorite Make Up For Ever shadows!

Glowingly yours,
