Smashbox Photo Op Eyeshadow Trio Review
Friday, August 15, 2014This is the first thing I have tried from Smashbox. I think I have held back from buying their products purely because it is slightly on the pricey side. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Smashbox and MAC are made by the same company? I actually received this Photo Op Eyeshadow Trio as a gift but you can buy it from Boots for £22.
The packaging is sleek, black and matte. It's very compact which makes it perfect for travelling. The trio consists of two shimmer shadows and one matte shadow. When swatched the shadows don't appear very opaque, although when applied to the lid the colour does show a little better. I would recommend wearing these eye shadows with a primer because I found that the darker colours are prone to creasing on the eyelid - which for the price I think is a little disappointing. Having said that, they feel very soft to apply, blend seamlessly and are easy to work with.
I would be happy to try more products from Smashbox, however for the price of this eyeshadow trio I do feel that it is not very pigmented compared to the MAC and MUA eyeshadows that I love.
Thank you for reading,
Chloé
