PRODUCT REVIEW: BA STAR SMOKEY EYESHADOW PALETTE

HELLO EVERYONE!
I am going to be sharing my personal opinion on a new makeup product I got known as BA STAR Smokey Eyeshadow Palette. 
BA STAR is a company that is providing Pro Makeup for exceptionally affordable prices! Pretty amazing right? One of their best known products are their fun and flirty eye shadow palettes!
With 1 palette you get 5 complimentary eye shadows that can be used in combination to create a perfect smokey eye no matter what palette you chose! 
Today I will be showing you the Natural eyeshadow palette. What I loved the most is that you have the option to do a very subtle natural look or completely glam it up with either gold glitter or white glitter turning your all natural smokey eye into a glamorous party eye!

I find the BA STAR palettes are excellent if you want a shimmery smokey eye. No matter what shadow you choose from the palette you will be happy to know you have shimmer in it to help make your natural look pop!

You can’t go wrong with shimmer shadows, especially in the summer season! Nothing looks better then a lustrous shimmer eye.

With the BA STAR eye shadows, I did notice that the non glitter shadows were quite “loose” for a pressed powder, so it is wise to be careful of fall out when you are applying.

For the shadow I find they work best if you use a primer first to help the shadows better adhere to your eyelid.

What I loved about the glitters was that they came pre-primed! Meaning they were nice and sticky so you can apply them straight away without having to use a primer meant for glitter! This is great if you want to add a little glam to your everyday makeup or even perfect to spice up your prom makeup look!

I applied all 5 shadows to my arm in order without using any primer! The glitter has great pay off for the price you are paying! But I find the eye shadows do require 2 coats to get a good amount of pigment from them without using a primer. The high light color in this palette was VERY loose and powdery. I found it did not apply nicely to the eye which was very unfortunate. The Bronze color was very nice a subtle and easy to build while the brown was great for instant color pay off!

The down side to this palette? That would be the brush tool. I would not use this. The sponge side is your average sponge end that you get in most cosmetics while the brush end it very cheap. The bristles are thick and plastic. Only use for it would be the glitter but it still does not provide good application of any shadow in the palette. As per most products, I personally would not recommend using the brush provided.

I tested out the product with primer. I used the bronze color all over the lid then applied the dark brown to the upper lash line and blended it upwards. I then applied the brown to the entire lower lash line and finished with the high light color on the brow bone.

The color was good for about 1 hour then it started to fade. These eye shadows to require a touch up after 4 hours even if you use primer since they are quite loose pigments.

As a professional makeup artist. I personally would not buy this brand, especially not to use on clients. But I wouldn’t mind buying their glitters since they are great for adding quick glam to any look!

PROS:
Affordable
Fun
5 in 1
Glitter
Quick and easy to apply
Blendable

CONS:
ok color pay off
Not long lasting
Loose shadows

Would I buy again? Probably not, unless I really needed some good glitters!

These products are excellent if you are new to makeup! They are very easy to work with and very easy to apply so if you are just starting out I would recommend this brand to you since they are so easy to work with!
