SPEND VS. SAVE: BROWN EYESHADOWS

I have two brown eyeshadows in my stash. One is MAC in Glamour Check! and Elianto Dark Brown. Both are dark in color. The only difference is the Elianto brand is matte and MAC has a bit of glitter.



From a farther view, Both may seem to have great color pay- offs. I have swiped per product twice on my hands.



Mac is easy to apply and it feels richer than the cornstarch- feel of the Elianto. Elianto has a nice pigment pay- off but since the powder is loose, it feels messy to apply because the powder on your brush falls off.


Here's a closer look of the eyeshadows:








As you can see, MAC has better pigmentation than Elianto. Expensive eyeshadows have a great characteristic and this is the creaminess or the "buttery feel" of the eyeshadows which make them easy to apply, long- lasting and the color pay- off is great.



It's always best to settle for the best quality but you can find nice products that can do also. MAC has a very good quality, so to speak. Elianto is not bad also. It's eyeshadow line is quite good as well. The pots last long also. If you have money to spare, try MAC and if you're beauty is on a budget, Elianto would be your best bet.
