BEAUTY BATTLES: BATTLE OF THE SILVER EYESHADOW

For this edition's Beauty Battles, let's look at Silver Eyeshadows


I have two silver eyeshadow brands, Shu Uemura Pressed eyeshadow N ME Silver 900 and MAC Frost Eyeshadow in Electra.


Let's look at the packaging. Both have non- detachable covers, which is convenient for me. I don't have to worry about me losing the eyeshadow pot covers.


Here are the swatches. Left is Shu Uemura and the latter is Electra. 


In terms of consistency, Shu's consistency is so silky and it glides on smoothly. MAC's eyeshadow is buttery and it glides on easily as well. The differences between the two are, Shu's eyeshadow is softer as compared to mac's texture. 


Both are extremely pigmented. It took me one swipe of each to achieve these uber pigmented swatches.


In terms of staying power, both held up the whole day. 


As for the price, Shu's pretty steep than MAC, but MAC is at par in terms of quality with Shu. But Shu's eyeshadows have great quality so it's also a good buy. But since we're not having a good economy right now, we should always opt for the cheapest yet great alternative.



SO FOR THIS EDITION, THE WINNER IS:

MAC
