(L-R) Fantasy Makers eyeshadow duos in Sumptuous (purple) and Smolder (blue)The first impression I have is these colors are very wearable. Sumptuous has the most wearable purple shades I've ever owned and I think they are the perfect day-time purple eye shadows. Smolder is more for the night-time clubbing and the darker color is a doppelganger of MAC Flashtrack. Don't believe me, see for yourself:

The most interesting thing is the darker shade of Smolder is about twice as pigmented as MAC Flashtrack. I swiped twice to get the swatch on Smolder while did about 4 times to get the same intensity to the Flashtrack swatch. Also, I got 2 colors for $1.65 USD and $14.50 USD for Flashtrack. Talking about math, right?
Like other Wet n' Wild eyeshadows, these colors are not as finely milled. However, they are much more pigmented than the regular Wet n' Wild (and MAC!), which is the biggest surprise of the day. They remind me a lot of theater makeup in term of pigmentation. I don't own anything from Ben Nye or La Femme so I can't compare but I doubt they are any less pigmented. The duos are currently sold at Wal-Mart and Walgreens. So far, those are the two duos I've seen, if they got more I could have gotten them all.
That's all folks! I'm thinking of doing a FOTD for Halloween with all the makeup I have. Stay tune to see my Halloween makeup, ok?

ReplyDeleteHi Kia,
ReplyDeleteI notice a Walgreens a bit further from my place has everything but the eye shadows while Walmart has everything. They are really fun makeup and cheap as well. I hope you are going to find them one day, maybe after Halloween(?!)
Wow they are pigmented! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm actually surprised that turned out so well. While I'm always in favor of inexpensive makeup, some just sucks.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad this doesn't. :) I'll have to pick it up.
They sound great and the colors are beautiful. I wish they were available here!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your Halloween look!

ReplyDeletePretty.
Definately pretty.
Hi Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteYeah, they are really pigmented and a little bit goes a very long way.
Hi Trisha,
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to check Fantasy Makers out, the colors are really pigmented and the blue one looks a lot like Flashtrack. Gorgeous colors I'm telling ya!
Hi Gio,
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on a Halloween look. Since I'm not used to fantasy makeup or face painting, this may take a bit longer. So stay tuned, ok?
Hi Almira,
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right, they are gorgeous. Please check 'em out :)
