Viseart Eye Shadow Palette - Worth the Hype?

VISEART Eyeshadow Palette - 04 Dark Mattes Available on Sephora Online, retailed at $100CAD + tax Finish: Matte Consistency: dry texture, not creamy, but offers good amount of pigmentation  Longevity: > 10 hours Tone: neutral; warm undertone To start off, this is definitely the most expensive single makeup item in my collection.

Typically, I like to use these shadows as a base, and then apply any shimmery shadows on the ball of the eye lids ; then blend out the rest of the eye look with the darker shadows as desired.  Overall, this palette is very versatile and you can definitely create different looks with it.  But the moment of truth...

Although this is not a gel based eye liner, which means the consistency is much more stiff and not as easy to blend. But the lasting power is excellent. It lasts through tears, water and oily lids. I highly recommend this p
