LOOK: Party Pink and Purple using NYC City Duet

I picked up one of the NYC City Duet Eye Shadows in Island Sunset at my local CVS for $2.99. I only got one since I wasn't sure how it was going to perform and not sure if I was going to like it or not. The only downfall of buying makeup at the drugstore is that you can't try or swatch the makeup. Everything is packaged and taped and there's no way to test if the makeup are good or not. Oh well, I still bough it and hoped for the best!

I did a Party Pink and Purple makeup using the duo and, I'm convinced that I should go back and get the other ones. I love how the eye shadows are pigmented and easy to blend. I didn't have to use a color base underneath to make the color stand out. It was bright on its own which was awesome! Also, I noticed that these eye shadows has a matte finish. I saw some shimmers in the pan but its not even visible on the lids. This is a plus for me because everyone should have really great matte eye shadows in their makeup collection.

Cool Tips mentioned in the video:

• Always apply a base  underneath the eye shadows to help it stay put.
• Use a patting motion when applying eye shadows in the eye lids. It will deposit the color better.
